I wonder if anybody on YouTube posted a Zoom-Off.

Simply split stereo to mono and deleted a track. That's the maneuver, no? That's one of them. The other one is Select the stereo track > Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo down to Mono. The two microphones on top of the H1n aren't strictly Left and Right. I believe they're matrixed to Mid-Side inside the un...

mix both tracks together forever.

Not kidding. You can't change your mind. Save the original performances.

you might be better off with mono (both the voice and guitar centered). That's my vote. You can make each single track be mono with the drop-down menu on the left. Then when you play them, they will both appear in both headphone muffs. That should give you a much better idea what the mix is going t...

I'm just now waking up. You didn't add the two microphones or tracks together, right? You picked one and deleted the other one. That may mess up the moving microphone trick. That can have odd results if you only use one of the two microphones. So either add the microphones or don't use the sideways ...

It's fine, but your performance volume went into the mud. This is a sample of your first post connected with your second. zoomrawtest2And1.wav You can adjust this yourself. The blue waves will tell you what you're doing. The first post was nearly perfect. This is a screen capture from the first one ...

The SS sounds are sibilance. Try another pass with the microphone in front of your cheek instead of your nose. Like that oblique position up the thread. I got most of this essing to go away with the DeEsser tool. This is Mastered and DeEssed. It easily passes ACX technical conformance and the theate...

You can also submit a raw test here. Follow this recipe.

Go down the blue links. They're pretty short. Everybody misses the silence at the beginning.

Additionally, are there other tweaks you’d recommend to the Zoom’s recordings, apart from the standard ACX macro? No. ACX doesn't like distracting production. If you sound like you, that's good to go. The goal is listening to somebody telling a fascinating story over cups of tea. They may object to...

I nearly pass ACX check with a raw recording. See? It's a fairly competent recorder and it has no computer problems during the performance. will ACX accept mono files? They prefer mono files by a wide margin. We are a single person reading a book, not producing radio theater. All stereo does is tak...
