Zoom H2 Experience, area and editing
From a month or so I am experimenting how to induce the most from the Zoom H2, excellent for field recording area, however dangerous personally in taking a single guitar. Obviously, the goal to require a tight band, in fact, leads to compromises on individual instruments and frequencies.
Zoom H2 has four microphones, two front and two rear. I can not dwell in the merchandise description, because several understand him and therefore the network will notice all necessary information isn't the intent of this 3D, which interests me, however, used the machine, throughout registration and editing part.
I actually have forever opted for recording in stereo on a front, then putting the zoom on a wall, in such a way that could resume the most effective all the tools. The result's discreet and necessary is the choice of placement inside the area, simply move Zoom H2 slightly to urge completely totally different results.
The Zoom H2, however, provides us with a file to that we will act retrospectively, first of all with the EQ, attempting to catch those frequencies where it is a small amount 'weak in body of sound.
The other choice is to register with 4 microphones stereo, not surround, that is another factor and we don't care.
In this means we will have a double front, using the 2 front microphones and instruments for some a pair of back for another.
The result can be two files, specifically a double track for each recording.
Conjointly in this case, the location of the Zoom H2 is inside the space, which will become an excellent mangier.
I initially opted for a central location, the most immediate and conjointly instructed in the manual: no unhealthy results increase the depth of the recording however more than cymbals; the voice disappears in the mix too, and total chaos within the amalgam. In addition, It's greater issue in remixes.
The opposite day I tried to shift the main target, zooming in the center of the area, however moving Zoom H2 to the opposite side to the battery, approximately [*fr1] meters from it.
The hall is sq. in question: on the one hand we have the bass and the speakers of the PA, on the corner of stress apart the battery, the opposite aspect of the guitar amp. It would seem the most effective results up to currently been found. But don't expect to possess a separate guitar track, please remember that microphones are environmental and shooting everything.
Returning upstream of the speech, with four microphones will increase the body of recordings, but, after all, the two files that we have in hand, can be heard separately dangerous.
I load each tracks in Logic (however that's okay any parallel program), then speak equalizer for each tracks, taken both individually and as a result of the combination.
Here, unfortunately, takes over the ear and also the means that we have offered, adjusting the sound with my speakers I found that sound all, for being too colourful, with headphones, perhaps I will have a result additional generic and neutral.
For those using Logic, I found it very helpful to its plugin "Multipress" may be a compressor that will operate within the frequency spectra of four. Maybe not correct take a look at this remedy, I do not know, however well proportioned to me looks to offer better results than simply equalization, which in any case, the tip retouching. Icing on the cake, finally, I discovered yesterday. I had continuously avoided reverbs, as a result of, having 2 tracks that after all take up the entire atmosphere, these would have watered the full.
Instead, if we put a small reverb to simulate the natural reverberation of a area (with Logic "medium room") I suppose is the simplest potential remedies to the flatness of the records of the Zoom H2. What then, isn't so abundant zooming in command of this flatness, however the rooms, they're killing all of sound waves.
In short, the conclusion, the Zoom H2 could be a tool, discreet for what it costs.
