Hi Ty, thanks for the info. I was going to buy either a better recorder or a mixer this week because this past weekend it happened again, audio from the DJ feed being distorted. Do you have any recommendations for a portable field mixer that won’t break the bank?
-
Also, I just read that the Zoom H1 has a true line in, but I have a feeling that my H1 would handle the signal even worse than my H2n. Any thoughts?

What about using a mixer to get a suitable level, instead of going straight to the recorder?

Thanks Al, I’ll check it out for sure. It doesn’t always happen, but seems to be happening more and more.

Thanks, I’ll look into the pads. I appreciate your help.

That’s odd, because the last time it was and rca output and I had to turn the recorder level to 0 and still got distortion. However, it was a brass band, so pretty loud. I’d like to keep it as simple as possible, so do you know of any recorders that could handle this? I’m willing to buy a better/more expensive recorder.

Thanks for your help. Yes, using an H2n with the 3.5mm socket. The mixers are always different (weddings, etc), so sometimes xlr, sometimes RCA. So I’ve been using an xlr or rca to 3.5mm cable, depending on what plug they have available. Sometimes it’s alright and other times it’s blown out.

So if I was to start from scratch, what’s the best way to record a clean signal from a soundboard?

What do you mean by external pads?

The problem seemed to go away after the most recent FCPX update. Problem solved!
