Hi there
I have been recording music for 3 years and now recording through an Apollo 8 using various microphones no problems at all.
My problem has come along using a H4N and video mic pro to record a piano. If I use the pre amps in the h4n not much of a problem, I can work with that audio.
The problem arises when I set the video mic pro (supercardiod, 8inches away top of piano) to plus 20db and reduce gain on h4n. The audio never passes -6db but when piano part gets really busy it constantly stays at -6db and the recording is unusuable. The picture below shows the unuasable waveform.
I have learnt so much more complicated things when it comes to recording, yet this simple matter can't work out why.
Can someone please shed some light please?
Thank you
Roberto
