Digital Camera vs. Zoom H2

Microphone comparison for those doing their homework before buying a Zoom H2. I was using the Comp3 setting. The drumming is some improvised slop.

I'll be making a new drum video soon.

What kind of hats do you use?

[amishrockstar]

@simioen3 they are AAX Metal Hats 13" super super super BRIGHT hats. Honestly I dont like them that much anymore lol.

hey mate,u were using comp3 settings,what about sensitivity, (l,m,h,..) and did you add any sort of effects on pc to improve the drum sound..

thank's for you answer fella

cheers'!!

@slodrum Hi! Yes, I used the comp 3 setting with LOW sensitivity. Recording level was probably around 40 (if i remember right, its been a while). Then I just used the H2's normalize function to bring the level up. I may have used Audacity to tweak the volume some more, but that would have been all i did. No effects were put on the recording.

so how to put sound and film together? how did you do that?

[amishrockstar]

@normandy100 I just recorded myself with my camera and mic. Put the recording over the video sound in windows movie maker, and move it until the sound matches the playing.

@amishrockstar i feel the same way about my 13" aa fusion hats.... way too bright

I bought the H2 a few days ago to record my drums cause my camera mic sounds crappy. I didn´t compare them in my video but the H2 sounds waaay better.

uumm... theres not much of a difference. I mean the zoom has obviously better range but in terms of clarity its about the same a freaking digital camera. -_-

[MrIsaacE]

can you record 4 channels with 2 channels coming from internal mic and the other 2 channels from an external input?

[arfurlife]

I dont know about the mics but I DO like your drumming . Rock on dude!! i just got a Rode stereo video mic for my hdc sd700 camera. Seems quite good.
