hello all.
I am having some trouble locating where the hiss is coming from..It sounds like cassette hiss.
SP-CMC-2(AT-831>SP-SPSB-1(w/107Hz rolloff)>Zoom HZ volume at around 100
when I used my JB3 I had no problem with Hiss.. I went to record Groundation in DC the other day. I tried my Zoom and the shows came out OK but has tons of his..
I have tried removing the hiss with Soundforge Audacity and Goldwave andf nothing works..
The show was recorded at a low volume by mistake so increasing the volume is adding hiss.
However, When I recorded my voice and myself drumming at a good volume the hiss is still there..
I just this morning recorded my just talking and my voice sounds clean but the hiss is really annoying.
Not sure whats going on.
since I lost my disc for the Nomad JB3 I can't use that anymore..
any help
The Zoom H2 has, from all I have heard, pretty crummy analog inputs and noisy preamps. Recording at too low of levels is going to introduce hiss if you get to the point that you're below the noise floor of your machine's inputs. That problem is not unique to the H2.
If it it is hissy even when you record at adequate levels, that, to me, is a sign that there is an actual problem with the line level inputs themselves. I think this is also a known issue with Zooms.
