This is a first go at making "artistic content" on the Ben, so results are experimental. I adjusted settings on alsamixer and settled on 100 % capture, 33% mic volume. I found that au format is not supported on the Ben for whatever reason. I used the -f dat option for 48000 sample rate.
As for the content, I simply improvised my version of a very famous song, see if you can guess it. this should give an example of how recorded files actually sound when played elsewhere. the only problems I met were that there seemed to be a sharp whine on the playback when I used the nanonote, as if it recorded and amplified noise, even when I lowered capture level to 74 it was still mildly present. Upon playing the file on my laptop, the effect is much less so I assume it at least partially has to do with the nanonote speaker. due to the fact that the Microsoft WAV original was 34MB, i elected to use 'oggenc' on my laptop to reduce the size to 2.2MB and use a free format. other than that small amount of processing, the Nanonote was the enabling hardware. as a final note, it would be nice to have (maybe we already do) ogg encoding tools locally on the Nano. the content is not the best, but it is the process at this point, not the quality of my musical skills ;) enjoy and hack well -jain http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/File:Arecorder-demo.ogg
