I am now fully back on the interweb! And I have looked at the H1n owner's manual. I would say try these things:


o Use low cut 120 (lowest note of clarinet is 147 cycles roughly). This will take out unwanted noise (errant HVAC; bumping of the mic or stand it's on; wind if any).


o LIMITER - OFF Limiter protects from clipping but also compresses sound (makes difference between loud and soft SMALLER).


o AUTO LEVEL - OFF Same as above. You want true picture of sound, not the machine's


o 44.1 kHZ/16bit WAV: The higher settings are overkill. Just know ANY CD you listen to is 16bit/44.1kHZ. Recording engineers can record and manipulate at higher rates but must convert down for the final product.........it really is good enough for most applications.

o Finally I'd say get used to looking at the "Clipping Indicator" (two little rectangular boxes in the middle of the far right of the display screen. Just make sure that when you set your recording levels those are not blinking or ON. I'd play with finding a level that is just UNDER what makes those boxes active when playing your loudest........that would be a full volume, final recording level. Then of course all the rest (softer than super loud) will be well within good recording standards.


I guess I'm saying to ignore the manual's recommendation to set your level at -12. I don't even know the relevance of that statement.........use the clip indicator.
