My band “The Triplets of Grubville” has recorded using 3 Zoom recorders, allowing for Good separation, easy mixing, and a nice sounding Demo recording. And done on the cheap.

2 Zoom H2n

1 Zoom H4n

Reaper software for mixing.

    This is a really, really good recording. You guys are super tight too. But I didn't expect the recording to be this good. Still a great sense of room and acoustic performance but the instruments are sounding so clean and true to itself.

    @Buco - stereo 90deg setting for each, rejects side sounds great, even when sitting close together.

    These H2N recorders are cheap ($169 on Amazon), and are flexible.

    The above mic settings are one side of the device, and the opposite side can record side/mid combinations simultaneously.

    I had just assumed you'd get phase problems with non-synced audio tracks.

    Nice recording Bopster. Since you have a H4 I kinda don't get using 3 separate recorders when you have several inputs for mics on the H4. Maybe you just like the sound of these onboard mics on the zooms? Or maybe you all just already owned these? I have a zoom h6 and if I was to do this kind of recording I'd use the stereo mic on the zoom and then an individual mic each instrument. But of course I don't own 3 zooms so I never thought of your approach. Anyway nice recording there.

    @AndyW I sync 2 at a time by panning one stereo track hard left and another hard right. Nudge one left or right until you hear no delay and you are set. Do the same for the third track, syncing with one of the two you just finished.

    @richter4208 - I need each Zoom’s cadre of onboard mics, and so the H4 won’t let me plug 2 stereo recorders in and also use its onboard mics in 4 track mode. It’s so much easier to set the levels and pickup patterns on each one, and sync them up later on the home computer.
