Re: Question for Zoom recorder users

Thanks for all the suggestions! I tried a few things today and it definitely improved. I have two tall bookshelves in the room, plus a plush wingback chair, so I think the best results were playing in the chair facing the bookshelves about 6-8 feet away with the recorder on the shelf and the mic gain about mid way (5-6). I tried it up higher on the shelf but hadn't seen this most recent advice. Tomorrow I will try sitting closer to the shelves but with the recorder higher up and see how that does.

If am still getting key clicking, would it be worth getting it checked out to see if the keys need any adjusting, or is that normal to hear on a more sensitive mic? it is really only on one fast passage around the break, but it is very noticeable. I have never oiled my own keys, but if that would help, I do have some key oil I was given in a kit. Where would I put it if I were to try that?
