Recording Straight From Pa To Zoom H2

[Nick]

A long time ago I had a problem recording direct from a PA record output to my Zoom H2. I tend to record gigs that we play at but the output from the amp and the input to the Zoom don't match and you get a horribly distorted result. There was a post a long time ago about this which I understood but couldn't work out how to do from Roflcopter -

I think you didn't completely get my meaning about the line levels. Your Zoom is 'consumer level' while the PA wasn't - you need to convert it, and then you can get perfect recordings.

I have been recording the new band I'm in using the mics which is OK but not great but this week - for the princely sum of £4.50 + VAT - I bought one of these - a volume control cable - and the results are preety good. The saxophone clips and limits a bit but I know why but the quality sounds ok.

It might be useful for someone.

I'll post a bit of a clip later to give an idea of how it sounds.
