However, the noise guard that comes with the recorder worked well and reduced wind noises to a minimum.įor the indoor recordings, I have two samples of my son practicing on the drums: Seven Nation Army (MP3) as well as a drum pattern from some Linkin Park song (MP3). Some of these outdoor settings were especially difficult recording environments due to the wind today, which was quite strong at times. For the outdoor examples I walked through Marblehead this weekend and recorded a few different audio scenes: ocean waves on the beach and crashing against a seawall (MP3), docks at the town landing and harbor noises (MP3), patrons at the local Starbucks engaged in various conversations (MP3), children at the carnival in town (MP3), more carnival impressions (MP3). Here are a few sample recordings that were done in 44.1 kHz sampling, 16-bit format and later converted to MP3 format after the editing process - use your favorite media player to listen to them. For even higher quality recordings, the device comes with a tripod mount. All recordings were done with the recorder held in hand. However, none were made in a studio setting, so these samples all reflect open spaces or a regular building without any sound-insulation or echo-cancellation.
This weekend I put the recorder through its paces and recorded a few different scenarios under varying background-noise levels and recording conditions, as well as different dynamic ranges.
I recently bought the Zoom H4 Digital Audio Recorder for use both as a field stereo recorder for interviews during trade shows, and also as a 4-track recorder for a local a-cappella group.
