[videoblogging] Re: Recording audio itnerviews

2006-06-01 Thread Bill Streeter



The 5G ipods can record high bit rate audio at 44.1Khz but the only 
third party product that I can find that will allow you to do this 
is the Belkin Tune Talk (http://www.belkin.com/pressroom/images/?
sid=55) and it doesn't seem to be widely available yet. None of the 
old 3rd party recording products will work with this ipod, and Apple 
doesn't make one either.

 model you have and I can find out through Apple's store if this

 iMic accessory is compatible with it.

2006-06-01 Thread Jan McLaughlin



Without any software or other mods the 20GB (8/2005 purchase) model 
iPod records with the following specs:

bit rate = 128 KBps
sample rate = 8000 kHz
format = wav

Bill, the notion that there's a way to increase the sample rate is very 
exciting indeed. The 44.1 kHz to which you refer is not bit rate but 
sample rate, e.g. how many times per second the record head passes 
over the recording medium.

128 KBps is very good for our purposes, but without a better sample 
rate, it might as well be 64 KBps, kinda thin and doesn't hold up 
through editing well.

Look forward to more information about this.

A lot of audio podcasters seem to like the iRiver iFP-890 (and a few
other models) for portable recording. They record at a fairly high
bitrate to mp3 and have a built in mic. You can get a better external
mic to use too because there is a mini mic jack on them too. But these
little things are really small and seem to work really well.

We've used the iRivers and find them very adequate, small, and
affordable. A lot of different models out there, so you can grab
whatever you find. Price varies by MB storage in part. The software
interface is kludgy but otherwise they are a good value I think. Just
pay attention to the mic input vs the headphone input - not that
clearly marked on these small devices, and using the wrong hole can
really screw up an interview!

Aloha,

Rox
