although lavs are a bit tricky during a pandemic... Here, let me jam my hand up your shirt...from six feet away. There's a trick here, too. Somebody is making a lavalier that records in two different volumes at the same time. It makes setting volume much less tricky. I wrote that down here...somewh...

Can you give me a quick crash course in what each feature does, I've never used that collection and My lesser Zoom recorders don't have that feature (that I know of). That's worth a checkout over tea. Basically, as the sound gets louder than a set volume, an electronic guy turns down the recording ...

Zoom H6 does have a -20 Pad (db??) That's not for simple recording. That's for recording a trumpet or other loud, close sounds. Using it when you don't need it will increase the microphone internal or electronic noise. Not Grand Central, but making a recording near one of the New York Central locom...

Then select the whole file with the Select button on the left. Effect > Noise Reduction > Choose the settings > OK . Start...

The desperate desperation method is roll the machine back from Catalina to Mojave or High Sierra.

Since the recent update, Catalina? Yes, Catalina created a number of challenges for audio production. SoundFlower and iShowU were the two applications which could allow recording internet sound, but they are struggling with Catalina's registration and lock-down features. Soundflower is under develo...

Is the machine ever used for Zoom or Skype or other chat or communications recording? All of those apps use sound processing while they're working, and they are working even if you leave them in the background or waiting for a call. Sometimes the effects stay even if the app is turned off. I'd feel ...
