OK, you should have invested in the equipment as detailed, so let’s get started and make a test recording.
The Zoom H1 is the easiest professional recorder that I have ever used, so it does not take long to get started with the recording process.
You should have received the full Quick start guide with your Zoom H1. For your convenience, I have provided screenshots of the Guide.
Set it at stereo wav 16bit 44.1kHz. You will see that the device can record at higher qualities or lower quality (mp3). Never record your source material as an mp3, always use wav but for now stick to the setting mentioned, as this is CD quality. You can set it to a higher rate later, but this is a good starting point.
The higher quality files may not work on some computers/software as they are much larger and more intensive on your computer's processors and memory when editing. You can experiment with higher quality wavs once you have mastered the basics.
You may find that you have to adjust the headphone levels (volume) once you have set the input (recording) level.
Now set the input (recording) level. I do not recommend using the auto-level function. This may create volume variations in the recording as it adjusts itself. Set the level manually so that it is peaking about two-thirds of the visual scale during your normal speaking volume. You can then adjust this if needed later.
You may find that you may have to re-adjust the input level during your test recording and this may result in the headphone volume needing adjustment too. The headphone volume does not affect what is recorded but the recording volume will affect the recording.
