Can the record button on this unit be toggled on and off easily? I want to use this unit to record spoken notes, like a journalist...

I'd recommend using the mark button instead - it will record your questions, but with instant index for the answers. You can also set auto-record to just move when there's sound. Test to get a good threshold - probably -32db for recording talking in a quiet space. Use pre-rec too, so that you avoid clipping at the beginning and set auto stop to 5secs for the same at the end. All these features are right on the H2n.

Yes, it can, but each time, you are creating a new sound file, so it will be more difficult to play back. It is not a dictation machine! It does not pause the recording.

Yes, it can. It is a highly adaptable unit and perfect for the use you intend. It takes a little time to get used to it, but that is the same for all such devices. Practice makes perfect.

Yes its very convenient the button sits right under the thumb so its very easy to hit record on those unexpected moments

Honestly, I DON'T Know.My purpose for purchasing this was to link my "record" button to it, but was not initially able to do so, so I kinda don't even use it.

The unit turns on when it starts to record a program. Right after you shedule a future program, you can turn off the machine with the relote. It should turn off, if it does not, either it is recording a previously recorded program or the unit is defective. The remote buttons are not very good. sometimes you have to press a few times.

There is a variable speed control on the recorder. I haven't used it...but it's there. Can imagine it would be helpful if one was dictating into the machine.

This is a great recorder, and it record in high quality... I think if you just want to record conversations, you could probably find a simpler recorder. I use that all the time as musician, because I can have a real notion of how I played listen to the recording that this thing make. Yes, if you just want record conversations, it is better to find a simpler recorder... :)

I am not sure about the voice you are talking about. The units I have don't have the voice every two minutes. It only say "start recording" when turn on and "stop recording" when turn off. Can you try reseting it?

S. Martin, it works as an on/off button. I don't know if it's able to set the button to activate the effects while you hold it, but I think no. Changing the subject, I see an issue in these button mic: I'm used to run, jump etc. in the stage, so while performing these way I was turning on/off the effects unconsciously all the time, so I stoped using it. I bought an Electro Voice ND767 and I liked a little bit more of it's performance - but both are great.

This recorder is actually very well-designed. When you first press the record button the recorder enters the record-pause mode so that you can appropriately set your recording level. This should always be done before recording so that your recordings don't run into gross distortion from excessive recording levels. Once you set the recording level, all you need to do is press the record button a second time to record.The operation of the unit is very well-explained in the manual.

Maybe try using a recording function? But other than that I've never had a problem with it being off as long as it is plugged in and the little black button on the base is pressed down.

I have been having MAJOR problems getting the red 'rec' button to stop an in-process recording! Often, it doesn't stop at all, and I have to turn the unit off AS IT'S RECORDING!!! VERY ANNOYING.

I can see that you can record in the radio mode, but it does not allow you to set a timer to start or end the recording job.

The button is programmable through the buddy mic software on their software. I would look at the software first to see if the button will do what you want.

No mute button, but since it's plug and play I suppose you could just unplug it when you didn't want it to record.

You can record voices and music but there is a lot of setting I need something easier to work like just press record I sent it back too many setting

Yes, one button allow you to start/stop the recording. About the ten minutes I think It can, depends on the battery.

Yes, you can - it has a manual VOR switch with setting H, L and Off.Have loved this recorder, though I use it mostly for playing tapes. It's very sturdy, still working after several drops, as I carry it around in a pocket while I'm working around.
