I think I see. So the buyer goes to CDBaby, types in the code and they can get 
their goodies. Clever.

   I think the death knell for cassettes was when the big auto-makers
stopped putting cassette players in vehicles.


I have a '99 ford that was built with a cassette player.  CD's became
available in '82.  I think that CD's were already the death of
cassette tape, but cassettes actually enjoyed a bit of extra longevity
due to the fact that it took manufacturers a while to develop
a cd player that would work reliably in the jostling environment
of an automobile.

Hi William,


"Mic Gain" 3 position switch on the side of the unit which coarsely 
sets the gain of the analog pre-amplifier for the microphone.


"Record Level" fine control of level which does not quite work as it 
should. Accessed by pressing Rec Button once to go into   
pause mode, then using the 'previous track' and 'next track' buttons 
to adjust from 0 to 127.

   NOTE: only the range 100-127 is meaningful.
  If 'Mic Gain' is set too high, causing distortion, then 
'Record Level' can't fix that problem, all it will do is make the 
distorted sound quiter. Never use a record volume

setting less than 100 .
If 'Mic Gain' setting leaves you with a quiet signal, it *is* possible 
to boost in the range 100-127 to compensate.


So one way to proceed is
1) set 'mic gain' such that you're sure no sounds will be loud enough 
to distort.
2) if sound is now metered as being quiet, boost it up using the 
"Record Level" in the range 100-127 3) don't forget, if you have to go 
below 100 on "Record Level" you need to change "Mic Gain" towards a less

   sensitive setting.


..but

Easiest way to get best possible results is to record at 24bit with 
"Record Level" at 100,
"Mic Gain" at the most sensitive setting that's possible without 
overload,
and do the level correction later, either with audio editing software 
or the 'Normalise' function available on the Zoom.

You can then convert to 16 bit for CD or archiving, or to mp3
for online sharing.

If the mic is close to a lute, then M is almost certainly the "Mic 
Gain" setting to use.


hope that helps

andy

Speaking of the longevity of CDs, I still have one with James Bowman  
singing the Vivaldi Stabat Mater. It was the first CD I ever owned,  
given to me as a Christmas present in 1985. It still sounds fine.  
Perhaps some hold up better than others, but I've noticed little  
deterioration in any of many CDs I've accumulated over the years.  
Mostly classical with some "third-world."

Speaking of which, I need to unbox my old turntable and start cleaning up and 
ripping that collection of 78s of Stefan Grapelli and the Hot Club Quintet of 
France I got from my parents.
