Default Jake, Don't Forget the DIY Room Treatment

Aloha Jake,

"Now, I just need to set up my room, try figure out best way to do some recordings of my guitar and vocals."

The first thing to do when thinking about setting up your space is to think about how you're going to DIY treat it.

You're using mic's, right? So you'll need to control the room's early reflections in order to achieve consistency.

If you're going to the trouble of setting up a space & buying new gear like the H5, then shouldn't you do the one thing that will allow you to maximize it? Treat your space, Jake. Making 2-9 4"x2'x4' DIY Owens-Corning broadband absorbers will do the trick:

There have been hundreds of "treatment" threads here to show you how to do it cheaply or portably. Or PM me for more clues. Get the most out of your recording signal chain, Jake, even if it's a small Zoom H5. Room Treatment = the only way to achieve consistency in your recordings.

Good Luck, Jake.
