What I unfortunately discovered after selling my H4n to purchase the H5 was that the H4n offers a 4 track funtionality, which the H5 doesn't. This was a great feature which they just cut out of an otherwise great tool.
It makes me wonder how these manufacturers think, or, if they actually do! SMH
But you are able to record 4 tracks at the same time? You just can't do the backup record nor record at 96/24 while doing so.
