The first problem is my main concept of placing my Zoom H2n up front to

bass frequencies because all of the speakers are facing away from the
recorder, and the bass is most of what it hears, and all I get is whump

That's what you get for setting levels where you did. In 24 bit mode
there is substantial headroom at hand.

You should never be triggering that AGC circuit, and in fact, it should
be disabled in preference settings.

AGC is post conversion. Hence, excessive SPL + unfortunately high input
sensitivity settings = compressed garbage.

But the sound - er, good thing they hired me, because I KNOW sound, and
have recorded a lot of bands. Well, maybe not amplified bands, but I have
been around the block recording audio.

Hype, brother. You are a beginner, filled with theoretical concepts,
outputting long posts about what went wrong, again. Accept this and
learning begins. The biggest guru of all is humility.

Well said.

I admit it, I've been lectured more than once about out-smarting myself. ;-)

Ideally theory and practice are taught together in synch. Often way too
much theory gets learned first.
