This is definitely an amateur job, Unless you're going to give tours, it doesn't have to be elegant. One poster did it with plumbing supplies. It's pushed together. No glue. There are of course limits to what makeshift booths can do. I recorded this just now. The fiddle rang in at -48, still enough...

Did you have a chance to listen to that clip? I can hear a nasty hum that sounds like a machine, but that doesn't mean it's a machine at all. It doesn't sound like mains hum to me ( except possibly the harmonics explanation, I wouldn't know). Since it's intermittent, then it's not mains itself, but...

Actually the original clipping problem was solved by turning off "mono mix" for recording to the Zoom (no computer). I did some other menu magic to get it to record properly on the computer. These adjustments also positively impacted the noise floor, but I couldn't say by how much. Since then I've j...

a real booth in your apartment (not difficult, I did it for under $100) How? Well I guess that depends on your definition of "real". This is definitely an amateur job, but it works nicely for my purpose, which is not being able to hear screaming kids. I chose the quietest spot in my house, the atti...

Tout dépend de votre équipement. Certains micros usb ont une prise 8mm pour des écouteurs. Sinon, on peut aussi se servir de la prise de la carte de son. Je n'ai pas Windows, mais je crois qu'on peut sélectionner un "moniteur" dans les paramètres de son pour écouter en direct le son du micro.

Pack it up and try your equipment somewhere else far away. If the clicking goes away, you'll know it's something in your building. If not, it's something to do with your equipment. If it turns out to be interference from your building, you're in trouble. You may never find the source, and even if yo...

What surprised me is the variations between different recordings made in the same conditions. The Fethead is liable to not make any difference at all in some instances. For sure it will be useless for helping with difficult recording environments.

I wanted to get to the bottom of this fishy Fethead gadget, since so many people are raving about it. I've been fooling around, comparing the noise floor of recordings made in different conditions, with and without the Fethead. Here are some screenshots of four typical recordings made one after the ...

What's not working to your liking in Windows? For a regular user, functionality in Windows is equal to Linux. Where Linux really shines is for power users and programmers. But you can do both and try for yourself. Why not give it a try on a separate partition? A nice distribution is Linux Mint. It's...

I have solved this problem, and I'll explain how for future reference. Connect the mic to XLR 1. When you connect the H5 to USB and choose the "audio interface" mode, you are presented with two options: "stereo" and "multi track". Choose "stereo". Hit the menu button, choose "in/out". Scroll down to...
