Zoom H4n + MXL 603s = Low Frequency "Bumps"

I am just getting into sound and am very much a novice. I recently purchased a Zoom H4n and a pair of MXL 603s. I'm attempting to record a choir I'm in using this gear. I've made some test recordings and have also recorded a rehearsal. In these recordings I'm noticing a low frequency bumping noise.

Home Recording an Album

So I ‘m recording an 8 song rock album. I want to record electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and vocals home and maybe also piano at my aunt’s house if I can manage the recording and bass if I can rent or get someone to lend me a decent one. I will record the drums and do the final mix at a proper studio or outsource the mix somehow.

Best Digital Distributor

I've tried most of the top distributors and have chosen to go with UGF Digital permanently. They are an actual label and can get you in 800 stores with free marketing and advertisement. From what I gather they use their own network that already trumps Tunecore and CD Baby, plus they use the network of Sony Music (Sony/The Orchard). That means a lot more to me than receiving 100% from tunecore.

STUMPED!

Audio interace 212 Focusrite with mic and all this connected to windows 7 laptop. Which has no DAW (mac is so much better!) I had to download the abelton live lite 8 novation edition that supposedly the complete version comes with purchase of scarlett 2i2 interface. What a pain in the ass it is just to use Ableton!
