Zoom H2 quadraphonic four microphone / four track audio interview recording trick

Monday, June 30, 2008

Here’s the trick: record in quad. In Audacity, invert either the front or the rear track.

Surprising

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Founder of the Hare Krishnas – surprisingly clear and lucid and direct. No mention (so far) of chanting Gournanga and being Happy. I’d never seen any of his material directly, only filtered by the organization, and he’s more impressive than they make him look.
