I’m looking into purchasing a portable field recorder and wonder what are my best options….

All depending on what you want to record in the field. They both can basically do the same thing, it’s just a slight difference in quality and storage space. Digital is the easiest way to go.

You could always talk to the audio experts: http://www.audioneeds.com

I’ve owned it for over a couple of months now and very satisfied! I’m using it every single day and can not find any flaws or annoyances about this product. Perfect in every way. Practical and useful. If you study a lot, that little guy becomes very handy. Highly recommend it!

Hope you like it. Good Luck!

have an olympus 4100 digital voive recorder and have some background noise needs to be reduced and amplifi the voices.

The best method would be to run the audio the audio through an EQ. Human voice centers around 1000 hz. Use the controls on the EQ to raise the voices. You can isolate the back round noise by raising different frequency’s on the EQ. Once found, lower those frequency’s. HVAC noise is most likely the biggest problem. I suspect you will find that to be around 350-500 Hz. It would be best to use an EQ with level control. This will also allow you to do an overall gain of the signal.

its a device exactly like old VCRs ( video cassette recorders ), but fuctioning completely digital. it records on its internal HDD.
it has multiple inputs for S-video, and standard composite cables.
what is that unit called ? i want to buy one, but i donno what to look for exactly !

thnx in advance

What you want is a DVR. You can get Standalone ones such as TiVo and some DVD recorders with built in HDD.

You can get providers DVRs, which are basically their receivers with an HDD that records their digital signal directly.

Lastly would be a computer DVR, which you can get a card for your computer that can record from antenna, cable or a box.

A short snippet from the DVD:
“Tom Dowd and the Language of Music”

Eric Clapton talks about Tom Dowd, and Tom Dowd talks about the digital recording.
The reason why I picked this part is, the pointless “Analog vs. Digital” discussions we have in recording technology and studio equipment web forums.

Tom Dowd litteraly invented the faders we use today on mixing consoles. He’d been recording music since late 40s! His recording techniques had revolutionised the world of music recording. But here, he doesn’t talk about gears and studio equipment… he talks about “capturing the musical expression”. The truth is… this is EXACTLY what’s this all about: capturing the music.

R.I.P. Tom Dowd.

I recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in music recording, and the history of popular music. The stories are simply awesome. It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen.

There is no USB port, only ear and mic. Where do I copy it to? I have a mic input on my laptop. Then when I get it copied, I need to edit out all the background noise.

Windows comes with "Sound Recorder" to record from the mic input.

I use Goldwave for all my audio editing, it has presets for reducing noise without you becoming and "Audio Expert"

I have a Sony Cybershot 3.2 mega pixel digital camera. Also, I have a SanDisk Memory Stick PRO Duo 512 MB. I haven’t ever recorded a video on my camera, however I would like to. So I was wondering how many minutes I would be able to record on there. This is assuming i dont have ANY pictures on there at all.

Thanks!

FIrst off your batteries in your camera will die before you reach this, but most digital cameras record at a low Fps and low quality.

At 640×480
10 Frames per sec – 16 mins
30 Fps – 5 mins 30 seconds

At 320 x 240
10 Fps – 47 mins
30 Fps – 16 mins

Check your manual under specifacations and you can see which bracket you are in. 30 Fps is rare on most digital cameras to my knowledge.

Hope this helps
Also you can get a 2 gig for under 20 dollars now and they sell up to an 8 gig card in most retail stores. So if you want to do alot of video recording its not that expensive for memory any longer.

I’ve heard of the "Line 6 Toneport" but thats a little to expensive for me, i would like something that is somewhat high quality with a reasonable price…

Zoom corporation has portable recorders. Look at zzounds.com

I own a business. For this business, I will be buying a large number (100+) of digital recorders for people to sing into. The sound quality does not need to be the best, but it does have to be decent, and be in stereo. Can you reccomend some specific products and/or suppliers/manufacturers for me? How can I contact them or buy their products?

Thanks.

The best option for the budget minded would be the Zoom H4 handheld which can be bought at Sweetwater.com. They will probably sound ok but definately not the best. They cost around 300 dollars american if you call Sweetwater they might give you a discount for high quantities. Of course there are more expensive options the Sony PCM-D1 which will definately sound better but they cost about 1800 dollars a piece. They are both stereo with built in microphones, and they both have USB for easy transfer into a computer. Now the big difference between the two is recording time the Zoom only holds 128 MB of audio which would equal about 25 minutes of recording. however it is expandable to 2 GB which is about 380 minutes of recording using a flash memory card for about an extra 100 bucks. The Sony has 4 GB of flash memory built in for nearly endless recording time.
