I have recorded several of Professor Steen's lengthy, verbose, yawn inducing orations using the Zoom H2 with tremendous results. This is perfect for the sneaky student who has trouble fighting off sleep while suffering the long winded speeches of their educators. I am also a singer/songwriter, and this device is an invaluable tool for capturing sound. I load all my recordings into my laptop, and using an audio mixing program, I mix Professor Steen's copyrighted lectures into the background of my musical compositions. It's simply amazing! After a few post-effects, even Ivan's voice sounds angelic.
