I picked up a Zoom H2 recorder and have been fiddling around with it for a little while. For the moment, I am really just trying to get a decent recording of my practices and attempts at songs, so I can listen and learn (and hopefully for posterity-s such as "wow, I was soo much worse back then (hopefully!)"
I know that some folks here are big supporters of this recorder and I wanted to pick your collective brains. I've been playing around with various mic positions and gain adjustments, but so far it seems that either the mic has to be practically IN the soundhole, or I have to have the gain so far up the noise is terrible. Has anyone hit on a nice magic formula?
For the most part I have been recording into the front microphone (though I feel like I have tried all). For those that are happy with the recordings they are getting from their h2, what's your secret?
