Re: Help.......Recording Gongs

And since we now know that you are the performer, get someone else to watch the recorder sound meters and set volume. Or reverse jobs. You watch the meters while they strike the gong. There are not a lot of options. I expect the equipment you have to deliver a very nice recording given it is adjuste...

Re: Serious drift problem during podcast recording

Unfortunately changing the speed doesn't help in this case (I've tried) because the drift is never consistent. I'll try talking to him about getting an external audio device, and if need be I'll cover part of the costs, because I'd rather spend ...

Re: Help.......Recording Gongs

Throughout the meditation session, I strike the gong, which is like a built up (rumble) to a lightening clash and then bang!

The loudest portion of the performance has to fit in the recorder. That's where you can get into the most trouble the quickest. If the room "sound" is attractive to you and valuable, then certainly record from the back. It's possible one of the powerful gongs is resonant with the room and ...
