Zoom H2 Digital Recorder for Band Directors
Hello Again Everybody!
I’ved been getting a lot of questions about recording your school band, choral group, orchestra, and even individual musicians, so I thought I would put up this post.
I have been in the recording and music business for 30 years, and have tried everything portable that has come along. I had a minidisc in the last couple of years too…which worked OK for the time.
But now we have the Zoom H2 digital recorder with built in mics! It records to an SD card like your camera, has 4 built in mics, sounds great, and mounts on a mic stand with the adapter that comes with it!
All you have to do is put the Zoom in front of the band on a stand where it will get the sound of the band as the listener would, put the record volume most likely on it’s lowest setting, because the band will be so loud(you might have to experiment with this) and hit record! (If it gets too loud and distorts, the recording will be unusable, you can always bump the volume up later) then, transfer the file to your pc either directly or by taking out the SD card and transfering with your card reader.
You then can edit the files with Audacity , which is free on the web, or some other software.
It really is simple! And the Zoom is only $179, with a 4 gig card included. For more info go here www.buyprosound.net/ZoomH2ForBandDirectors.htm.
If you need any more info of have any questions about recording or editing, please feel free to email me danny@buyprosound.net and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Yak Later
