Hi Hamit.
Super epic right enough if you could manage to juggle all the complexities
in such a project, particularly with a visual impairment. But I suppose if
one had the motivation, then why not. For me, managing the X Y module was
difficult enough, haha.
I was actually about to purchase an Olympus device, which Neil Ewers also
tested and recommended. What that device had something like a limiter,
wherein you could ask your subject to be as loud as he can be and the device
prevents you accidentally going above that level. That would be a good
function on the H6 as it's really quite difficult through headphones when
you are beginning to exceed a good volume level. One thing that I wish the
H6 had was a method of preventing the volume knobs being accidentally
turned. Perhaps a stiff click motion to the switch so that the volume
could only be adjusted deliberately.
Also, I know it sounds quite crass, but an automatic function, wherein, once
you have attached all your mic's and even a line in, the device does the
rest for you, taking out the floor noise as well as limiting the session.
Well finally, there is a vast difference between the older H4n and the H6.
Just wait for the H7 or H8 and perhaps it will prove impossible to make a
poor recording.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Well, you're welcome. You could also talk to Neal Ewers I seem to remember
his email being neal.ew...@ravenswood.org when I last emailed him. He'll
be
a good source for WAV file questions. I just meantion Rick because of your
question mainly dealing with Nero. OH how did I record the 24 bit files I
burned to CD you ask? Well fun fact for anyone with an Olympus recorder,
even the DM 420 which only did MP3 and WMA had a dirty little secrit. That
was that it's a 24 bit sound card. So if in the USB type menue you set it
to
compisit and set it as your defalt recording device, now you can record in
96 KHZ 24 bit PCM WAV in stereo. What I'd love to try with a Zoom H6 like
you now have and Neal Ewers has, is set it as the defalt recording device,
hook 4 mikes to the back, get the front part with 2 XLRs and hook 2 more
mikes then in SF Pro or I guess apparently now Gold wive will do this set
it
2 5.1 channal surround and wala a surround sound recording. This is why
the
sadly way expensive Zoom F8 kind of interests me. With that if this idea
worked you could even do 7.1 surround sound. So super epic!!

Hi Hamit.
What you say cheers me up a great deal. I was beginning to regret paying
out all that cash and it not being able to meet my needs. Perhaps a newer
version of Nero? I'll visit Rick's page and drop him a wee line. I like
Rick a lot and you are right, he knows loads about almost everything.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Yes most of it does. The thing confusing me is the Nero thing. As I said,
I
did burn WAV files at 96 24 bit on to CD. Now it was with a trial of a
newer
version
Of it. Hmmmmm like I said you might want to talk to Rick Harmon. He'll
know
more about Golde Wave and Nero then I do. I use Sound Forge. This is very
strange. Now to your point of this being worth it, yes it is. Even if you
do
compress it, it'll be a better cd because it's been recorded at a better
quality.

Hi again Hamit.
I think that I may have seen the light! My Zoom H6 records in WAV
format,
24 bit at 96Khz. So I ended up with a lengthy WAV file. I chopped it
into
tracks using Goldwave and ended up with 24 WAV files. Am I wrong Hamit,
but
can you burn a WAV file onto a CD?
I re-edited my master recording but after chopping the file up, I
converted
each file to MP3, to see if that worked. Unfortunately,it didn't and the
quality was not as good. I'm not sure if it's worth recording at these
huge levels if you need to compress it down again afterwards.
Incidentally,
Nero tells me that my WAV files are 63000 KBPS!
The recordings play wonderful on my computer, but I had hoped to give the
four singers a cd of there work.
Does any of this make sence to you?
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Ah Did you tell it to do a data CD or a regular old CD you play in a
regular
stereo? AKA a CDDA CD. Because when I did it I did it as a CDDA CD. So I
may
have had a different experience. Now, what are you trying to play it on?
If
on the PC than that's odd because apparently your pc can indeed handle
24
bit if you could edit the file. Here's another idea just for grins and
giggles. Find the file. Then, just play it with Windows Media Player. If
it
chipmunks or doesn't work then it's the PC this maybe a question for
Rick
Harmon of the blind-geek-zone. He would know more. I'm not sure. But I
can
say that I don't recall him meantioning anything about dealing with
audio
resolution in his nero podcasts.

Hi Hamit.
I am using Nero 8 and usually when I drop in too many files, Nero tells
me,
so I need to take some out. I burned the CD's in the usual way and when
done, my CD drawer popped out and Nero said something like burn process
successfully done, do you wish to save the project. So everything
looked
good until I try to play the cd and there is no files on it at all.
That's
why I think that either my computer or Nero cannot burn a 24 bit file,
unless there is an adjustment within settings to allow 24 bit playing
and
recording?
Andy.

Hmmmmm how long is the file in question? It maybe a thing about the CD
is
too small. 96 KHZ 24 bit is so super epic because it's Blu-ray disk
quality
sound. I've done it though. So I don't know y it's not letting you.

Hi all.
I've recently purchased the fairly new Zoom, 6 channel portable digital
recorder and indeed, I did my first recording session on Wednesday
night,
at
my local bar.
I wanted really high quality sound so got assistance to set the device
to
24
bit 96 KHz.
The session went very well and the quality is extremely good.
I've spent the last 2 days editing the files using Goldwave, on my Win
7
computer running JAWS.
For some reason, I am unable to burn the files using Nero.
I believe that Nero is not able to make a cd of a 24 bit recording.
Does anyone know if this indeed the case or can I perhaps change a
setting
in Nero to bring it up from 16 to 24 bit.
Sorry for the lengthy message but any assistance or advice would be
very
welcomed.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
