Makes possibly interesting backing sounds for a podcast, documentary, or screencast. Lower the levels if it starts picking up too much ambient noise. Recording mode : Stereo Zoom H4n (built in mic)

See Portable recorder noise : The sounds of silence Recording format But taking simple small steps to reduce the amount of noise you unintentionally allow into the recording environment. Whether its a rotating fan, hum of air conditioning (easy to fix in noise reduction filters) construction site or if you live next to a busy road. Its not as fun to fix but can make a huge difference in reducing the amount of filters. This may not always be achievable but when you have a mixer with preamps and faders in the chain to increase the gain on a microphone, this can be achieved.Īs always when it comes to noise reduction, a good strong recording level with low noise ratios is still dependent on ambient noise. The main objective is to get recordings recorded at approximately –12db to –6db (about 3/4 quarters of the way in the level meters, as it says in the Zoom manual) with as little noise reduction/normalization processing.

Mixer used was a readily available Yamaha MG82CX.

Zoom H4n is a 2010 successor to the Zoom H4.

Microphone is a bog standard all purpose Shure SM58.

These are merely my notes taken as a cumulative production notebook of sorts from using the following combinations of products together. This is not a review of any of the products. This is due to the unique sound / gain signature of the Zoom H4n preamps. I will leave it for another post on how a light touch of applying a light amount of post processing on tracks from the Zoom H4n when used with an external dynamic microphone can be used to obtain clearer vocal recordings with a more acceptable noise floor. The standard Low cut filters might be useful.

Although, I would be wary of using any of the more esoteric guitar type effects like Fender Clean, or Bass Man on anything other than guitars. None of the built in Zoom H4n effects are used in any of these settings. Because I am writing this rather late in the day, I will make the notes rather brief.

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. These settings are available with firmware version 2.1.0 and higher. In today’s episode, we show you how to adjust the compressor settings on the RODECaster Pro to get loud, great sounding dialogue recordings for your podcasts, livestreams, or video.
