Bumps in a recording???
I was using a Zoom H4N when I recorded this, and I was being ultra still and making no extra movements other than playing and singing. If you listen, you'll here some "bumps" it it that sound like I'm hitting something, but I'm not. Any idea on what causes this? I was not using an external mic for it, just the ones built in. The most obvious one (unless you have a great set of headphones) is at around 1:09 or 1:10.

Are you using a pop filter for your vocal? Plosives will easily cause the diaphragm in the mics to go beyond their maximum physical excursion limit, even with back-charged small capsule eletrets like those found in field recorders.
Just a quick guess, I haven't listened with my good headphones and the small speakers in my laptop don't demonstrate the problem.

At first I thought it might be a proximity effect on plosives As Rudy mentioned but after putting on my tracking HP's I also a series of bump type sound through out especially but noticeable after at about 2:35 or 2:40 that could be the heel of your hand bumping the body of the guitar ? and or plosives very hard to tell.

What I heard definitely sounded like air hitting the mics - sometimes from a plosive "p" sound and sometimes I think just from your breathing.
You can get a pop filter and set it up in front of the recorder and that will take care of it, or using a high pass filter in post should get rid of most of that too. Nice sounding recording overall though! -Mike

Could it be from a ring?

I was listening carefully as I recorded and couldn't hear anything to cause it. I'm going to try using a pop filter first and see what happens.

Hi Todd...
If you are in a direct line from the vocals to the mics, put a pop-shield in between. Depending on the quality of play back equipment I've heard some really pronounced 'bumph' sounds from explosive 'f' 'p' 'b' etc. from air hitting the mic capsules. Pop-shield - click Not expensive, but life saving (OK time saving).

Ws are not hard to pop.
Place the mic 45 degrees to the left or right of your mouth and point it at your mouth. Sing straight ahead. Not at the mic. Work 99% of the time. You can also position the mic about forehead high and angle it down slightly and sing straight ahead, not directly at the mic. Regards, Ty Ford
