Hi,
I'm looking for a portable MD recorder for my sister to use for recording
interviews with my relatives for a family genealogy project. She's not
gadget-phobic, but I'd like to keep operation as simple as possible so she
can put her thought into the interview, not the recorder. I think the
following features would be nice:
1) NO END SEARCH. Since I'll be "cleaning up" the raw recordings she makes,
I'd rather that she doesn't record over anything. This probably rules out
Sony...
2) Manual record level from the microphones, which I'll set before send the
recorder to her. MD has *plenty* of dynamic range, so I can get away with
setting it plenty low to avoid overload.
3) Long record time. Don't know whether she'll prefer alkalines or
recharagables, but this is much more important than small size, so a unit
that has multiple cells or even an external pack (if the whole thing could
fit into some sort of bag, if it could be operated without removing it from
the bag) would be OK.
My plan is to use 2 clip-on mics, one for her and one for the interviewee.
I would set up the recorder to record her on one channel and the other
person on the other. That way I'd have a good opportunity to balance
things. I'd do the clean-up with Cool Edit 2000, then transfer the
resulting mono back to MD.
Any recomendations?
