Re: Question for Zoom recorder users

Hi Musikat,

Yes -- I would use the XY mic function in the arrangement you describe. I use the MS when I have the H2N further away, recording from the seats in an auditorium, for example.

I know Wes Rice's work and he's very consistent. I would suggest that the amount of key-clicking that you're hearing on the recording is normal, and would not negatively influence someone who is to critically listen to your performance. I would also guess that you don't normally "hear" this clicking as you play because you're, yaknow, busy playing.

However, I just opened a recording of a student of mine in a masterclass. The Zoom H2N was set up roughly 16-20' away, on a music stand. The room is a large rehearsal space for the local municipal band, and my student's horn was done by Wes (and he's playing a Rice barrel). There's no key click at all. I listened to another student and they didn't click either.

It's possible that you have it in exactly the wrong spot in the room.

Any chance you want to put up a recording? Or swap recordings off of the BBoard?
