@@mcconja the only change I really made since the video was in the pan eq settings for the tracks. On the eq I zeroed the pan eq and did all my adjustments on the main eq in the effects setting.
Evening time Deerslayer. I talked to you a few nights ago out of Mississippi(328). We talked about your Zoom and me being on an EQ plus trying it out. Since then I’ve ordered a new Zoom r8 and that cable. Appreciate the input that night. I believe I will end up with much better and more broad sounding audio once I find that happy spot for my setup. Again, thanks for the chat. Three2Eight in the Magnolia.
I played with the Zoom and got it set up last night. The cable should arrive tomorrow. Sounds amazing through earphones. Using a Shure SM58, you think I should back off the bass a couple db? I remember you mentioning you found that backing off the bass a little made it sound the best when using a mic similar to my Shure. Again, appreciate all that you’ve shared. Most would not do that.
You probably need less bass with that mic. I now zero out the EQ settings in the pan eq menu, for the tracks. And do all my EQ settings through the main eq in the effects window.
I found out by accident last night that their are different style reverbs that can each be edited. Short hall, big room, ect. After pressing effect, the buttons below the screen say insert, reverb, chorus. When you press reverb, it takes you into the screen just for reverb adjustments. Pretty neat. Think there’s 25 presets or so. Can taylor your reverb if needed. Can edit each one of the presets if needed, or make your own just as we do when setting up “effect”.
It's so funny that they swear you can't do this. You can't go through the radios audio filters because it will kill the audio. I'm here because someone mentioned on Facebook, "that deerslayer boy, he has the best sounding radio I've ever heard" and someone left a link to your UA-cam. Funny to see that your going right Into the mic jack lol good stuff brother
Cool info on the Zoom R-8, my neighbor 383 Stroker Motor told me about this cool little gadget last night. I’ll likely get one and test it out. 73’s from the Northeast corner.
@deerslayer816 will do. I have to save my pennies to buy one first. I have always enjoyed your audio when I talk to you. I tried a behringer mixer and didn't get the results I was looking for. This should do the trick.
Thanks for the video Deerslayer! I have actually been wanting to go this route for a long time. I have no interest in computers and this really simplifies everything best video I’ve seen so far.
I record Music at home and have Interface, DAW a lot of different mics with a lot of plugins for vocals. I have yet to incorporate it to my CB radio stuff. One of these days I will have to play with adding my Music stuff to my CB. Great Video
What’s up Deer Slayer… I talk to you all the time when I’m in the big truck. I hear you all over the country. Last time I talked to you I was in South Dakota.
Man I'm a trucker up in southwest Iowa and I hear you all the time crazy clear, we run channel 26. Just heard you give out your UA-cam channel name about 5 minutes ago talking about coax and hairpin setups. Just thought I'd say hello and we can all hear you loud and clear haha.
🖐🖐 Deerslayer. Wondering if you can talk more about other functions like recording and playback etc etc I got all my parts to try this set up out, just tryin to make time to get back home from working out of state. I appreciate all the information 100%
What are wanting to do with it? Water gates. I know how to record on it but I have tried to do water gates yet. I will do some experimenting and get back with you.
The only way I have figured out to do it is to put your boom mic near the speaker and hit record, then play. When you are done, hit stop and rewind. Then key up and hit play. Other than that, I have figured it out yet.
I’m having problem with the zoomr8 …I’ve been using it for over 6 months and it was perfect thanks to you … now I have no modulation but the radio still keys down ..I’ve checked everything possible…. Might buy a new cable or zoom….any possible suggestions you have would be appreciated thank for everything
@@gjm8461 my guess would be the cable. Does the bar graph on the zoom still show activity when you talk into the mic. If so, try plugging headphones directly into zoom to check for audio
Yes the bar shows good graphics and I can hear myself talking on with headphones on …. I was plugging the connector in and out from two different radios……I noticed the white wire wasn’t connected to one of the pins on the connector… is that normal
I just watched a videogate with you on it sounded great. You were using a kenwood 440 is this the same set up for that radio? I just got a kenwood ts-440s. Was wondering if you had to do any modifications to sound that good or just using the zoom with nothing done to the radio?
The radio is not modified. I run power output at 30% or less and mic gain at 10%> which is the first line on the knob. Around 7 o'clock. The power output depends on how much you need but that's where I run mine.
I bought a cord from on air designs.com but it is wired for cobra 4 pin so you will have to have adapter from 4 pin to 8 pin Kenwood. Or you can look at how theirs is made and make your own.
The equalizer in the pan eq screen. Set the bass mid and high to zero on track 1 and 2. Everything else, you can follow video settings as a starting point.
I'm not sure but with right adjustments I'm sure it would sound great. I know guy's that run processors with them and they sound good. My friend runs a zoom with his d rail radio and it sounds good.

Sorry about the sideways video. I did it with my phone and did realize it did that until I posted it.
What are your current settings? Sounds like you have changed them a bit.
@@mcconja the only change I really made since the video was in the pan eq settings for the tracks. On the eq I zeroed the pan eq and did all my adjustments on the main eq in the effects setting.
Thanks deerslayer , just got a zoom r8 , Wow! Added so much more fun to the radio hobby, thanks for sharing
Your welcome. If you have any questions , I can try to help.

talked to you last sunday either on 6 or 11 and you sounded fantastic. amazing audio. 883 up around these great lakes

That did it Man! 1221 Maine all set up here in Maine 73!
Glad to hear it. Hopefully I can catch you on the air soon.
thanks a lot man!! I am doing some station work and will get back up in your ear on the air soon! Going to try one of these with my yeasu FT102

Watergate would be cool too. Mainly was talking of playing back on the air. Cant run a talk show without that. Hahahaha.

@@deerslayer816
Gotcha gotcha. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for all the information, I appreciate it
Wished I had the manual for mine. Didn’t come with it. Hopefully cable is correct to connect to computer. Not sure how to do it.

@@gjm8461 usually the white wire is audio. Try touching it to different pins while keyed up and see if you get audio.
Thanks brother….. White wire was the problem….
@@gjm8461 good deal. The zoom is usually bulletproof so when you have an issue, start with the cable. Glad you got it working.

@@deerslayer816 thanks ill be getting a zoom r8 in the near future. Hopefully it sounds as good with my 440 as it does with yours.
Do you hook it straight to the mic jack on the 440? I know I'll have to make a cord or buy one to run to the mic jack.
I bought a cord from on air designs.com but it is wired for cobra 4 pin so you will have to have adapter from 4 pin to 8 pin Kenwood. Or you can look at how theirs is made and make your own.
@@deerslayer816 I'll check it out. Thanks for the help and information.
You sure sounded good on my radio. I have to wonder if a Stryker 955 or a cobra 25 will both allow that audio bandwidth.
I have ran this audio Strykers and cobra's and galaxy, connex. It works well on all of them.
Hey this is mopar. I have the zoom r8 now and was wondering what was those settings you was talking about last time we spoke.
The equalizer in the pan eq screen. Set the bass mid and high to zero on track 1 and 2. Everything else, you can follow video settings as a starting point.
I thought I commented on here, but I don't see it. I got a few questions I want to run by you. Any way I can contact you?
deerslayer5021@gmail.com
I noticed on the video you had one 1/4 inch stereo and one 1/4 inch mono plug does it matter ?
I don't know if it matters but I would recommend stereo.
what's the model numbers of the two microphone you show in the video
The condenser mic is a bm800 and the dynamic is a Shure sm58
Thanks
Does anybody know where I can find a 4 pin to 8 pin adapter? I’m running a Stryker 955 but I ordered an Icom 7300.
Check ebay
How would a asymond radio sound with that Zoom 8
I'm not sure but with right adjustments I'm sure it would sound great. I know guy's that run processors with them and they sound good. My friend runs a zoom with his d rail radio and it sounds good.
Maybe I will work that with my icom 7300 I know I will have to make the adjustments on the menu setttings on SSB …. Thanks for that great video
