(2) Recording acoustic instruments
COMP/LIMIT effect
The COMP/LIMIT module can be used to compensate for volume differences
between instruments and for variations of touch.
Effect description
COMP
Produces vibrant sound by compressing the dynamic range to suit
different instruments.
LIMIT
Compresses peaks in the input to prevent overload.
(For details, see page 62 of the Operation Manual.)

Application
For on-mic recording of an instrument (H4 close to sound source)
or single-session recording of a band performance.
For recording of acoustic guitar and other instruments with low volume.
For off-mic recording (H4 further away from sound source).
Mostly for use in the field.
L

H
Setting
Place the H4 so that the
sound source is within the
range of two intersecting
lines from the two built-in
mics. To prevent picking
up vibrations from the
floor, place the H4 on a
tripod, using the supplied
tripod adapter.
When recording a piano,
focusing on the hammer
area usually will result in
good stereo image and
preserve the crispness
of transients. When
wishing to capture the
ambience, aiming the
H4 at a point slightly
above the piano can be
effective.
For acoustic guitar,
stroke playing is best
recorded by aiming at
the fret end. For
arpeggio play, aiming at
the guitar body from
slightly above will make
it easier to capture body
resonances.
If wind hitting the microphone is
causing noise, attach the
windscreen.
For recording animal sounds, the
MIC GAIN "H" setting usually
works best, while vehicle or city
sounds may require "M".
