Solo performance, ensemble (acoustic performance of 3 or 4 participants), live band/rehearsal recording and recording conversations/meetings/podcast. Solo Performance: If there is no other alternative, but to place the microphone in the middle of all the band members, go with 4-channel surround, since it will be a bit more editable than 2-channel surround. You have the ability to control this with the “play”button, if you push it upwards you DECREASE the side microphones level, if push it downwards you INCREASE it. a bundle with a tripod desk-stand, storage pouch, foam pop filter, and a couple other extra things, or without all of Play key function: This will allow you to mark the files you are recording when hitting the play button, without pausing the recording.
The Zoom H2 Test : Zoom H2 - Audiofanzine
Included in the retail box are an SD card, desk stand, handle for putting the H2 in a microphone stand, wind screen, 3.5mm TRS to RCA cable, earbud headphones, USB cable and power adapter. ALAS! the other day a lent the mic to a friend for son’s graduation piano recital. The mic was connected to a video camera, placed on a tripod facing the open grand piano in XY mode. The input settings were set to Auto Gain and one of the Compressors (big mistake). Although the resulting sound quality was very good, the dynamics were FLAT. Trying to rescue this recording I found another recording made *simultaneously* of the same session using a simple smart phone. The audio quality is of course mush lower, but the DYNAMICS are there, unharmed, with all the crescendos and diminuendos in place.Continuous operation of 20 or more hours when recording 44.1kHz/16-bit WAV files using alkaline batteries Can you suggest what to do? Is there anything in setting that needs to changed or this device is just not meant for recording from in line sources. If you need to record a video with live audio, the Zoom H2n can do this for you. You will probably need to buy a camera mount for it, but it’s totally worth it if you want a better recording quality than what the camera’s built-in microphone can do, plus they aren’t expensive at all! Liking this so far? Don’t forget to share! Now let’s have a look at Interface, Settings and Effects
H2 - | ZOOM H2 - | ZOOM
The first extract was recorded in the rehearsal room, around 25m2. The sound, recorded in 16 bits and 44,1 stereo is very good and precise. One should note that the mics are very sensitive and therefore you’ll need to turn the sensitivity down or you’ll get distortion. The next extract was recorded in the same conditions, but this time 4-channel mode was activated (actually both stereo mics together). In addition to the louder volume (due to the number of active mics), you can hear more precision in the recorded sound. I don’t think there is much of a difference when recording an ensemble and a solo acoustic performance, IF the people playing know how to keep the dynamics as they should be, and not suddenly get a spike in volume, etc. Ok, now that we have the boring, yet important stuff out of the way… let’s get into the fun part! Which microphone pattern and settings to choose?The problem was the sampling rate used by the Zoom H2 compared to the sampling rate that Windows 10 was expecting. When windows 10 installs the Zoom H2 as an audio interface, it sets the sampling rate in the settings at 48khz. However, the default setting for the Zoom H2 is 44.1khz. If they don't match, it won't work. Hello, thanks for your interesting write-up! I got a Zoom h2n and i’m trying to record a dj set from the mixer! i tried directly from the mixer but its too loud! so i’ve wired it via the phono leads to the amp out to control the line level. its works kind of but the mic is still on? am i using the wrong leads from the line out to the Zoom h2n?
