By the way, one method to avoid distortion on audio recordings is to do a quick test recording. Just put the recorder where you are going to use it, turn it on, play as loud as you are going to play for 2 seconds, and listen to the recording. If it is distorted, turn the volume down a small amount and try again. Repeat until you get good sound even for the loudest peaks. If your recorder has an input sound level meter and you have a friend who can set the volume while you play, just ask him or her to set the record level so the peaks don't go above -6 dB when you play loud (-12 dB if you tend to really play louder when you get going). Digital recorders sound horrible when your sound level goes even a little bit above their clipping limit. On your first clip, turning down the gain just a little bit would have made the sound a lot more clear.


The clips of me on my own are just done using the iphone which is crap for recording tbh , the clinic was filmed using a zoom audio video hd recorder . A great little machine

Here is a clip of the same clinic .... 6/8 section .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSL58qOWYzc
