H2 N Zoom for interviews - tips

Great job everyone today!
Sound wise,  we saw that the MS setting is not so great for interviews as it picks up sound all around (Great for Soundscapes) . We can help that by reducing the pickup angle.

Another good setup for your interviews are the XY, see left.:
1- Screw on the handle
2-Talk into the mic, facing the window with the VU meters, also called the display.
3- Adjust your volume
4- Turn the window towards your interviewee. (The older H2 Model had a bi directional setting but not this one.
5-Speak loud enough so the H2n can capture your voice without having to tunr it back to your face. This will avoïd handling noize.
Remember to ALSO record your interviw with the Rodes Shotgun mic on the boom pole, or with the Lav mic
if your subject does not move too much  ( like a joggler or an acrobat for example)
