[QUOTE="Rob presson, post: 216155, member: 14902"] could you share the zoom direct to card recording for comparison? I'm not hearing any popping sound on my phone, which I should hear popping if there is any. I'm hearing modulation / distortion as well. listen to the example on this article for what popping sounds like [URL]https://www.filmeditingpro.com/why-does-audio-pop-how-to-fix-it-fast/[/URL] in my car it sounds fine. try playing this on your phone, car, or other device to see if you hear the thing your describing. perhaps it is your playback setup? I will do the same. also, try recording a different instrument at these notes to see what happens. make sure you turn off compression /limiting on the zoom. set input mic level to say 5 out of 100. check the input levels that they are below maximum. how do you have your x/y mics set as far as degree of recording? take a photo showing the mic and sax distance /position and share that with the recording into memory card for comparison. please be open to the responses, we are here to help but sometimes don't have the same context, experience, nomenclature, or assumptions. Paul[I] seems to be on point from my perspective. [/I] .. on another note (ahem) the recording is not at all natural sounding, meaning mic placement is way too close for the type of microphone. I have the zoom and never tried to use it as an audio interface, thanks for the good idea. For the record, my experience is thirty years of live audio for arena through club gigs for A list artists and a decade of studio work. best regards! [/QUOTE]
