How Do Digital Voice Recorders Work?
Pocket Audio Recorder Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens come in various forms: compact digital recorders, mini voice recorders, and micro and miniature recording devices. Each can capture audio and convert it into a digital file format. You can:
- Transfer files to a chosen destination, such as a laptop.
- Open and edit on other devices with no loss of quality.
- Send audio files as email attachments
- Burn them to CD or share them on any digital platform or app that has the capability to support them.
The recording device can also play back audio files. Though having a tiny speaker, the audio won’t sound good without headphones. File formats include: MP3, WAV, MA, AIFF (Apple) and AU (Sun Micro systems). MP3 is the most common format used. Memory is internal (flash) or external (flash or SD card). Jacks for headphones and microphone are standard. Other refinements depend on the price bracket of the device.
Basic functions include on/off, pause and record buttons. The higher end versions may have a digital display and even wireless capabilities. The most important factors to consider when purchasing a digital voice recorder are sound quality (bit rate), range (a good range is around 50 feet), storage and battery life. One other consideration is the device’s file transfer capability. Most use USB, but remember to check just in case. Recording devices also have built in noise-filtering, which filters out extraneous background sound. You will discover, as with any technology, that features which are currently restricted to higher-priced models will soon be available as standard on mid-range and budget models. Most people find, unless they require top quality recording for music for example, that a mid-range device is perfect for their digital recording needs.
Voice Recorders for loggers and Podcasters
Loggers and podcasters need their voice recorders. A Pocket Audio Recorder Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens serves many purposes; from in-person interviews, note taking, to-do list, dictation, and so on. We’ve heard of some YouTubers using them as wireless microphones because often camera mics aren’t up to the task of recording quality audio. It’s quite easy to sync up the audio files with the video by aligning ‘spikes’. One method is to clap loudly three times at the start of your video. The spikes (claps) will be picked up by both the camera’s on-board audio and the digital recording device. Sync those up in your editing software and all will be well—no lip sync issues. You’ll lose the hand-claps in the final edit, of course. This method works well with Window’s Movie Maker, and you’d have to purchase something like Final Cut Express for a Mac.
Podcasters, above all creative types, need a decent audio recording device. After all, podcasts are all about the audio… and nothing else. While dedicated, high-end models can cost a lot of dollars, many podcasters do well with a $50—$100 voice recorder. You can use your laptop’s built in mic, but that means you are restricted to sitting at a desk or table. Professional podcasters don’t leave home without some kind of digital recording device. They never know when the opportunity to grab an interview or record an interesting sound effect may come their way. When you want to get out and about, you need something a little more portable and uncomplicated to set up. Having to fiddle around setting up equipment is the last thing you need when recording on the fly. The easier the voice recorder is to use, the more likely you are to use it.
