- The Amazing Zoom H6 Portable Recorder

This recorder is not only great for recording each student on an SD card in class, it's fabulous recorder for our video shoots as well. Capable of 6 channel recording and with various accessories from a very good shotgun mic to 2 extra XLR inputs. The new LED color meters on the front and separate gain control dials by each iput makes this one of my favorites.
Here's a review from Sound on Sound audio guy Tom Flint

- Learning To Work The Mic

It's important to stay 8" to 10" from the microphone (depending on what you're recording of course). When your recording something that gets loud it's important to back off a bit or turn a little to the side.
Aside from that common sense, there is a great opportunity to have greater "saturation" when you're saying something that is more thoughtful by moving in much closer and speaking more softly.
This gives an intimacy to the sound of a persons voice and is a very persuasive sound. Learning to "Work the Mic" can bring a much richer harmonic landscape to your recordings that is much more personal that just reading well at a good recording level.
