Another couple of queries on entry level recording:
How do you record video and sound together so that you get the sound quality of a recording device but with the video? Would you record both at the same time, mute the video's audio and overlay the separate audio file/s? Just out of interest is there anything on the market that can recognize different instruments and split them in to separate tracks for editing e.g. guitar and vocals? or is that wishful thinking? |

Your ability to multitrack and sync is up to the software. Some recording software compensates for latency (internal processing delay) while others, like Audacity, do not. If the software doesn't do latency compensation, it's a pretty siimple matter to line up the tracks properly by dragging them with the mouse. Fran

A nice sharp clap at the beginning and end of your recording makes it much easier to line things up. You can do this sync post processing in REAPER: http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2010/...deo-in-reaper/ Fran

I don't know if it does in-recorder multitracking or not but I can't imagine using it that way even if it offers the feature. What a pain, fiddly little buttons, inscrutible display and multiple-level "modal" menus. Yikes.
I do know you can record on it and then transfer the track to the computer or you can use it as a stereo USB microphone, albeit one with decent preamps. Either way, that's its best usage IMO. P.S. If I recall correctly the H4 is the Zoom model that does in-recorder multitracking.

On the plus side, you get a standalone recorder as well as a USB mic, which might be useful for other projects. -Gnobuddy |

The Zoom H2 and H4 have a big brother, the Zoom R16 (now joined or replaced by the R24). It does multi-tracking very nicely. The R16 records up to eight tracks simultaneously, plays back up to sixteen simultaneously. And if you want more than the onboard mixing and editing features, you can transfer the tracks to a DAW easily. But it wasn't in the OP's budget, as far as I understand. I really like the R16, real knobs and faders and no futzing around with a computer, an operating system, a mouse, and a keyboard while I'm recording. -Gnobuddy |

it's good to know about using the H2 as a usb mic. fran, you just saved me about $100 and some space on my desktop.
are you running Reaper on PC or Mac? |

i was never a fan, but i am running both PC and Mac now......each has its merits, but for Reaper, PC is the most tested format.
i'm going to give the H2 a try as a mic. saves me from buying yet another microphone- at least to use with Garageband. |
