Subject: RE: Tech: Best prog for editing Zoom H2 files
Just downloaded the Audacity to give it a whirl; it does the job and I find I can record from YouTube films on the lap-top, which can't be bad! Lots of rare concert tracks there to soak up.

As an H4 owner (old model) all I can say is I wish I'd gone for the H2. As I keep saying the modelling is atrocious & the XLR inputs are next to useless, at least they on mine because the machine crashes on phantom power - something I only found our when it was out of warranty! I use it for field & performance recording, and sometimes I'll use it to record instrumental parts for later sequencing on Ableton - such as the soundtrack for THIS, for which I recorded both the plastic treble recorder (+ electric shruti drone) and the frame-drum (not a loop!) using the H4.

As I say, Les - hope you're having fun. Let's have some Live from Chorlton tracks downloadable soon, eh?
