Re: mono or stereo

Re: mono or stereo

Zoom H2 also has a 1/8" stereo microphone input with plug-in power (2.5v) and a 1/8" stereo line input. With a suitable lead it can record from a pair of external microphones, or from the output of a mixer. [discussion re. back-electret microphones continues here: http://forum.audacityteam...

It is not at all obvious to me why so many people need it - perhaps you could elucidate. ... i have...

Re: Submit your EQ Curves

Nice work Irish. Could you post the address of the site that you got these from - if they are used it might be best to credit them.
