Yes I see what you mean, Martyn. It would be difficult to do that with
a machine that's not dedicated entirely to recording. There is I
suppose a limit to the openness of omnipurpose devices.
Thanks for that thought.
The reason I am looking for a solution right now is that I ordered the
new unsplit gut strings from Mimmo. I was hoping to record a few pieces
with my lute as it is at present with split gut strings, and then
record the same pieces with the new split gut. I am not entirely sure
the recording device would be good enough to discriminate such a
difference, but I do know audible memory is generally very poor, and
can easily be biased. As I hope the new strings will be better, I
probably would hear them as such, unless a side by side recording tells
me clearly otherwise. Of course there is also the problem that strings
take a few months to run in, so I'd have to record the same pieces over
a few months.
Well that is the idea but from my experience in experimental phonetics,
I know this will never be entirely objective.
Best
Anthony

Take your point Anthony,
With my little Zoom H2 it allows over 6 hours recording time - so I
simply put it on and then forget about it knowing I can fairly easily
cut out large bits I don't want when I download onto Audacity (or
whatever you prefer)

Dear Martyn
I was doing something similar to your suggestion by
connecting
my
condenser mic through focusrite directly to my Mac and using
Amadeus
which I prefer to Audacity; but this meant getting up from my
playing
position to start and stop recordings etc. I found using FiRe or
Tape
on my iPad more convenient as I could control everything while
playing.
I did then download to my Mac and Amadeus.
I realize you can do that very well from a Zoom, and perhaps I will
acquire one if I cannot replace FiRe; but I found the sound quality
of
this setup with condenser mic, focusrite, FiRe and IPad/iphone good
enough for evaluating progress, or the lack of it (more often
unfortunately).
But I will keep your suggestion in mind, thanks Martyn,
Regards
Anthony

Dear Anthony,
You might find it helpful to download your recording onto a PC or
tablet (from whatever recording device - I use a Zoom H2) and then
use
software like Audacity to produce a recording as you would wish it
ie
without ridiculously excessive 'sound engineering' with, as you
say,
things like the added resonances of GarageBand.

And no, I'm not on commision!

Dear Luthenists
I am looking for a very simple app which will recognise the
presence of a mic and preamp such as Focusrite connected to the
lightning connector of my iPad or iPhone, but which will make a
single
track mono recording of my lute without the unnecessary
multitrack
complexities and added resonances of GarageBand.
I used to use the excellent app FiRe, but it no longer works, as
it
hasn't been updated; I then used Tape by focusrite which worked
alright
on my iPad, but now has become temperamental. Impact by focusrite
apparently works well but only for audiovideo. Rode Rec Le looks
a
good
candidate but apparently it only works with a Rode mic (at least
that
is what they claim). I use the excellent Voice Recorder Pro for
casual
recording with the internal mics on my iPhone, but I don't think
it
can
recognise an external mic. If anyone has found and uses
successfully
such an App, please let me know on or off list.
Thank you for your help, it will be much appreciated.
Regards
Anthony
