Re: Need help with audio book recording
Thanks for all the suggestions. I got a lot of help from the H2 forum and figured out that my Audacity setting for bit rate was causing the problem. It's much better now. I will look into that other recorder, but I think my problem is resolved for now! Thanks to all.

Re: How to record audiobook at home
What settings do you use and what software do you use for editing? Thanks!

Re: Need help with audio book recording
The test piano file was clear as a bell. I know I'm just doing some setting incorrectly.

Re: Need help with audio book recording
I have Windows XP. By the way, I also start sounding like Daffy Duck after it's in Audacity and I normalize or do anything to the files. ("Thuffering Thuckatash") Ugh. I uploaded two tests with three variations each. RAW FILE Test 1 - the wav from the H2 - http://www.becomeatechnicalwriter...

Re: Need help with audio book recording
The H2 is set for wav 48kHz/16 bit. It saves as a wav file by default. I opened the wav file in Audacity. I tried different recording levels on the H2 (they say 104 is a good level). So with some test clips, the sound was too low when I played it in Audacity, so I tried normalizing. Then, the volume...

Need help with audio book recording
I've taken tutorials on using Audacity, but it never seems to help the particular situation I'm in. I'm trying to create an audio book recording using the Zoom H2 handheld recorder. It sounds fine on the recorder's playback, but when I put it into Audacity, there is a static-y sound. I turn down the...

Re: Best voice sound settings
1) If so, when you play both tracks together in Audacity does the result sound ok? Yes, the result is fine. I did fade in and out with the music and it sounded fine. 2) If you export the two tracks to a WAV file - does that resulting lossless WAV file sound ok? The WAV file sounded fine too. When I ...

Re: Best voice sound settings
Hi. The only pre-recorded part is the intro over the music and that is my concern. The original recording is clear with no distortion and the recording meter was in the green zone. The show itself is live on a cell phone, and yes, I'm still learning so there are pages turning. :) But my question is ...

Re: Best voice sound settings
