  • The H2 sounds damn good. The limiter wasn't so hot. Now you need to test it with a band.

  • Wow Gator.. you are fast with a reaction... I made this test for you an hour ago.. and its maybe 10 min on youtube ;). Im think im pretty satisfied with the quality. Next thing is try it on stage. I'll like to know how Huey's bass sounds :)

see all

  • The limiter wouldn't "destroy" anything-it would just keep your recording from hitting the ceiling during the ocassional high transient.

    In any case, I don't think ANY portable recorder, let alone the H2, was designed to conduct "blow-out" tests-it was designed to record music or whatever in a civilized manner.

  • @Axeshredder ok thanks!

    I've bought one, but haven't tested it yet for front-row concerts :)

  • @BambigetHIGHER see my chickenfoot videos...and Hendrix tribute....real important to the rec volumes adjusted to peak at 0...not +2..and youll be fine...gl

    good thing..these days if your fumbling with a recorder..no one even notices..:)

  • @Axeshredder I'm looking for a recorder that can be used for concerts when you're standing front row... have you tested this one yet? Could help me a lot :)

    & The video does also really help!

  • @ivandemer718 lol huh?

  • h2 sounds a bit muffled to me.

  • The H2 doesn't sound better, just quieter. I think with proper post production, the sound of the H2 would be better. Discard the limiter and start with a lower volume to prevent zero over. For just a shoot and go, the Sony wins in my opinion. You just have to pay attention to levels. If it's too loud, TURN YOUR MIC DOWN.

  • @DXlovesEDBD  ya im using one for my drum recordings now. i keep it on low gain and it is perfect.

  • lol

  • hey, I need to get some kind of really high quality sound recorder fairly soon, is this what im looking for? I need to record vocals, guitar (acoustic and electric) parts and possibly other instruments as well. do loud sounds fuzz on this recorder? thanks a lot
