Hi Keith, I’m normalizing via Logic Pro X. I often apply gain manually in logic as you suggest. However, normalization strikes me as a quick way to maximize gain without fear of over doing it. I am just getting started. Perhaps I am mistaken. I’m not an audio tech. Just hoping to do an adequate...

Thank you for the helpful response, TR. You cleared up my first and biggest concern - the range of the trim nobs. Instruments & mics: Electric Guitar & 10” cab : sm57 at 6” & off-center Upright bass & via 12” cab : sm57 6” & off-center Standard drum kit : matched Rode NT5s overhead & Shure...

Hi - I’m using the original F8 to record my jazz trio rehearsals (I’m not direct recording. I’ve got one dynamic mic in front of the bass cabinet. One dynamic mic in front of upright the bass cabinet. Three condenser mics on drums). And I’m having some difficulty gain staging the mics. First...

Oh, of course. All I need to do is zoom in on the wave form to sync. Didn’t figure I’d get the resolution I need for acceptable quality that way. I’ll give it a shot. Thank you, Keith.

Hello - I recently bought an old and very affordable Focusrite Saffire 40 audio interface to fall back on in the event my Zoom F8 breaks down in session. Now I am wondering if the addition of the Saffire/MacBook Pro might double the number of tracks available for recording live music in the...

Thank you for the list. I bought two cards yesterday: “SanDisk 64GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN” They arrive tomorrow (Tuesday). I’ll test them and post the results for anyone who may be interested. Based on your message to me, Ojison, I...

Ah, you found a 2021 list of compatible cards. 2017 was all I managed to dig up for some mysterious and embarrassing reason. Maybe the search term ‘f8n’ generates different results than ‘f8’ (I own the latter). I just bought a couple of SanDisk U3s via Amzn. I expect I am well on the road to...

48/24 - I’m going to take your advice and give UHS class 3 a shot. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

I’ll try the mono file approach if new cards don’t do the trick. This is the sort of suggestion for troubleshooting I was hoping to get. Thank you, Rob.

The (link) clinic on memory cards is terrific. I really don’t know a thing about them. So most appreciated. Thank you, Talisman.

Update: The cards both failed the third full length test after passing the first two. So I am pretty certain the cards are the problem. Must be an intermittent issue. I’d delete this query if I didn’t think doing so might wreak havoc with the order of things here. ———- Hi- First post here...
