Zoom H4 and T1® Usage: Difference between revisions

'' DRAFT ONLY at this time ''

# Turn your T1 Master selector knob to “AUX”.

# Use the knob button to adjust the percentage of the signal you want at the AUX connector.  This range can be between 0% (no signal) to 100% (the entire signal) routed to the AUX connector.  Think of it as a volume knob to control the channel's volume.  Use this method to control each individual channel for your “recording” mix routed to the T1’s AUX connector.

# Refer to your T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine manual for information regarding the “TAP” button options.  Tap settings can be: pre-fader, post-EQ and effects, or post-fader.

Here's a quick video on enabling the AUX out capability of each channel on the {{T1}}.

* With the Zoom H4 connected and used as a recorder in this configuration you can expect to get exactly what you would hear from the T1 AUX OUT connector.  Provided you have enabled the AUX output on each T1 channel, you’ll hear what is plugged into the input of each channel, whether it’s a microphone, iPod, guitar, etc.

* Setting the "recording mix" of all you T1 channels requires you to listen to the AUX output by some method, or to leave each channels Level mix at its default setting of 50%.  The easy approach is to leave everything at 50%.  This insures nothing ends up too hot in the mix.  (It appears you can taylor your recording mix by adjusting the Level percentage of each channel, but I haven't taken the time to experiment with this capability, as of yet.) NOTE: Changing this Level setting does not change any MAIN output levels from your T1.

* Be sure to change your inputs on the Zoom H4 from the default "internal mics" to Input Connectors 1 & 2. Refer to the Zoom H4 Users Manual for details on selecting inputs, if needed.  This enables you to plug in the cables from your {{T1}}s to the H4 for recording, otherwise, you'll still be recording with the internal mics of the H4!

# Be careful with your channel mixes on the T1.  Ensure they are correct for your overall "live sound" mix on the L1 system.  Also, be aware you can change the "recording" mix by utilizing the AUX OUT level settings in the T1.  You can have between 0% and 100% of a channel going to your Zoom H4 recorder for recording.  This will affect your "recording" mix, but not your "live" mix.

# After the gig, use the playback feature of your H4 Recorder plugged into your L1 System.  You’ll be amazed that you’ll be hearing what your audience heard at the gig!  It’s a real eye opener, if you've never listened to yourself through the {{L1}} system!!!
