ZOOM H1 Essential - Am Keeping it!? Tutorial & Sound Testing

I’m not a sound engineer. I was only born with ears. I decided to keep the Zoom H1 Essential because it’s actually a pretty decent recorder. I like that I can use it with lav mics or use it to plug into sound boards, instruments or whatever and have the 32 bit float recording benefits for 99 bucks!
