Hi all,
I just got my zoom H4n and AT8015 yesterday and took it straight into the field. Wind was about 8 mph and birds were not all that active. I don't have a clue what i'm doing so if you'll endulge me, I will probably have 1000's of questions over the next year.
For now,
When I slide my gain to max, it's still only getting up to about -0.5. This may be a good thing to keep my ears from bleeding from all the wind. But is this right? Shouldn't I be able to increase gain to around -0.25 or -0.12?
My other question is probably just stupid. I'm recording on stereo mode (as opposed to 4 track and multitrake) with only the one mic. Is there anyway to monitor through the headphones on both sides? My head starts to feel lopsided with all the sound in the left ear and none in the right?
Thanks!
