We have been experimenting using social media to make video/audio recordings of our Masses or other events in the church which include music. So far, simply using an iPhone has worked well, but the audio is often something to be desired for, for it doesn't handle the volume of the organ terribly well. It becomes distorted and crackly. I was thinking purchasing a portable digital recorder might work. This would allow me to capture the sound from elsewhere in the church, and put the iPhone to record video wherever is convenient. I am able to do simple editing so I don't think I will have difficulty syncing the audio and video. Would anyone have any advice on this in general, or whether something like the Zoom H1n would be fit for this purpose?
