Just got a Zoom H2 into my hands. Unfortunately I cannot keep it. But at least I made a little test recording.
No post-processing, no de-noising ... just normalizing, that's all.

  • What is the second thing you play? I play guitar and would love to learn it! :D

  • @TheMUSEism Hi, it's the wellknown minuet by Johann Krieger. Good luck learning it, it's not too difficult.

  • I'm having trouble with mine. I only just want to record my voice and guitar and I leave it in the 90 degree mode on medium gain, but when I finish recording and transfer it to my computer, the volume sounds low. and my recording volume is set to 118. Is it normal to have to turn up my volume almost half way to listen to it well?

  • Hi,

    I don't have it here any more, but I didn't have trouble with it. However, with most recording devices you can't record properly from too much distance. I recall that there was some kind of level display on the H2. Maybe you want to use this to properly adjust the recording level.

    However, there is another, better solution. The H2 offers a 24 bit recording mode. Recording with 24 bit allows you to digitally amplify your recording a lot on the pc without degrading the quality.

    Regards, WW

  • Hi, would you classify this recorder as a pro or as a beginner recorder? Thank you

  • Hi!

    I'd classify it as both a pro and beginner recorder.

    Why?

    It's affordable for the beginner, very easy to use, and allows the beginner to get great results with little effort.

    The pro will like it because it's so cheap and such a small package. It probably won't last forever in a rough pro job, but then it costs only a fraction of what the real "pro gear" costs. It's important for a pro to have some cheap backup unit, if the real thing doesn't work for some reason, for example.
