[QUOTE="David Wise, post: 216159, member: 15367"] Hi, thanks for your response. I see what you mean the way "popping" is used in that sense, I was unaware it had that universal meaning, I was just trying to describe the sound I was hearing. By modulation/distortion are you referring to the rhythmic tapping that I'm talking about (as opposed to a quality applying to the sound overall)? I have double-checked listening on various devices, same results. I can re-record something direct to card later today or tomorrow for comparison when I have time, I didn't save those clips. I'll also try on a couple different instruments, maybe soprano/flute/trumpet. I don't have the Zoom in front of me right now, don't remember where the compression/limiting setting is, but I don't think it's anything I've ever turned on; I'll check on that later. I did have the input levels pretty low and played around with them quite a bit to make sure it was nowhere near maxing out, I think they were at 30 for that recording. I tested the mics at both 90° and 120°, it had no effect. Yeah, I'm aware the mics were in a less than ideal position and distance on that recording, it was just something I did really quickly while messing around with a million variables, but I did experiment with placement a lot trying to fix this, ranging from being right up on it to the opposite side of the room. When you said "[I]Dave seems to be on point from my perspective"[/I] are you talking about me, or someone else? I'm confused. [/QUOTE]
