If I want to record speech with my Zoom H1, and I want the best quality
possible, even if the file is converted in the end to MP3, would it be
best
to record in PCM Wav? I have only two choices with the Zoom, either PCM
Wav
or MP3. If I choose PCM Wav, which sampling and bit rates should I go
with?
My choices are 44.1-16, 44.1-24, 48-16, 48-24, 96-16, and 96-24.
After recording, I'd edit with Audacity.

I'd suggest saving the original track as a wav file. There shouldn't be
any
loss in quality then

Hi Dave,
Are these recording of speech?
In the mp3 options when saving, is the bit rate mode set to constant? If
so
you could set it to average, and see if this is an improvement.
Unfortunately, there will be at least some loss in quality after decoding
from and then re encoding to mp3 format.

I record my files in MP3 format (96 KBPS) with a Zoom H1 recorder. When
I
edit the recordings, I'm quite okay with the sound quality. When,
however,
I export these projects back into MP3 format, 96 kbps, I find that the
quality deteriorates. The recordings kind of sound tinny, like radio
stations' web broadcasts used to sound like. Can I fix these MP3s
somehow?
Is there a particular equalizer that anyone would suggest that I use?
Dave
