Comments on: Sound Check http://necessaryroughness.org/archives/568 two kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of miles Sat, 30 Aug 2008 01:46:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Dan http://necessaryroughness.org/archives/568#comment-964 Dan Wed, 19 Apr 2006 14:12:07 +0000 http://necessaryroughness.org/?p=568#comment-964 aardvark: The "high sensitivity" setting picked up the pastor 30-40 feet away using the built-in microphone. It comes with a small external microphone that one could clip on to an alb or something else. I've yet to try the "low sensitivity" setting that might be more appropriate when recording a source close to the microphone. I'm optimistic this device could do the job. As for archiving and podcasting--the files are saved as Windows sound files (.WAV). I don't know if podcasts will use those files or if you will have to convert archives to .MP3 files. The free program <a href="http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/masters.html">WavePad</a> will do the job. Transferring the files from the recorder to the computer was easy. The software that comes with the player doesn't edit the files; WavePad does that pretty easily too. aardvark:

It's one thing to produce a recording that I can sing along with the kids and cover up the mistakes I made. A recording for public consumption will require more practice until I'm happy with it. :) Heh.
