Guest Yachtsman1 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hi All The H2 saga rolls on, Q has anyone used an H2/H4 as a recording interface between the H2/H4 and the computer into audacity??? I have to record our Church Choir & want to be able to see the recording levels. If I can get the signal to Audacity I can see what is being recorded. Trying to check the levels on the H2/H4 screen would be a bit hit and miss. The manual gives a USB interface example for direct recording, but I seem to remember seeing audacity will not record a USB signal???If I use the H2 via the mike input jack on the laptop and the headphone jack on the H2, will anything go Phizzzzz???Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi Eric,I have mentioned here many times that I record to both Audacity and Audition via an EDIROL optical to USB interface.So Audacity will record from a USB source.DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volume was low compared to direct recording on the card in the H2, but background noise was reduced. Boosted the recording in Audacity & it's fine, this is a super free programme.Regards Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I connected it directly into the phono socket on the l/top, made a test recording, had to boost the volume via Audacity, but it performed to the best of it's ability. Then connected the imic through the USB socket and repeated the test, loud background hum this time. moved the mike away from the l/top background hum still present but reduced. Removed imic and did one last test, hum gone, conclusion faulty or incompatable imic. Solution, send it back from whence it came, (Amazon seller musiconmypc). The test audio is to be found at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=8ad1243...2855aa41911935a Promise no singing this time, & only 2mb.Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
