Zoom M3 MicTrak Review

[@Dracomies]

I love this mic! I have this too! This is an amazing travel mic too. 3 ounces! And 32 bit float and it records within the shotgun mic itself

[@matthewhedge8955]

if plugged in to camera over mic jack will recording on the camera tell it to recorded internally at 32 bit or do i have to press the rec on the mic every time

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

@@matthewhedge8955 if plugged into your camera, you can both send a feed to the camera at the same time the device is recording separately. This is perfect for syncibg up later due to the wave forms, as long as it doesn’t peak on the camera side, will be nearly identical. But you will also have the raw 32-bit version from the device as well just in case.

@@FunnyGuyTimmy ah I see thank you, that is exactly what i was hoping it would do

Does the RF Interference issue resolved?

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

@@trixxvii being that it’s not wireless and has no transmitting or receiving components, it doesn’t seem to have any issues with that kind of interference.

[@Ozpeter]

@@FunnyGuyTimmy Early reviews of the device showed how it suffered from RF interference problems, which were fixed in later releases. RF interference has nothing to do with wireless capabilities. It happens when the circuitry of any device picks up any kind of external wireless radiation.

Good point. Needless to say, I haven't had an issue. lol

[@CoasterOutlaws]

Zoom has there own software to normalize before throwing them into editing software (Audition,etc)

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

@@CoasterOutlaws lol um... Yeah I know you can do extra steps you can technically throw it into pretty much any audio editing sofware before taking it to video editing, but having to do that is the problem.

[@CoasterOutlaws]

@ i think its that way so if certain parts need to be higher gain than other parts

[@Ozpeter]

But... that is not the name of the device. I suggest correcting the title and description as anyone searching for reviews of it might not find this, so you may be losing viewers.

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

LOL "MicTrak"?

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

Probably just a dyslexic moment. lol
