w8kg6 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 If you have an iPod, get an italk pro. That's what I used when I was doing my science degree, and it has great pickup as wwel as clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtapolapocetl Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi Can you guys suggest me a good voice recorder!? for classes It has to be compatible with mac osx. Thanks! I recommend getting the Zoom H2 Recorder (http://www.long-mcquade.com/?page=products&ProductsID=84). I did a fair amount of research on high quality audio/voice recorders and ended up buying this one for my boss. We used it to record a visiting physician who was giving a half-day lecture in an auditorium that seats about 200 people. The physician didn't bother using a mic and the recorder wasn't even placed right beside him on the podium (secret recording!); It was about 10 feet away on a table. The recording quality was excellent, he sounded crystal clear and we were recording only at CD quality. This device uses an SD card and does support SDHC cards which I believe can go up to 32GB = a couple of DAYS worth of recording at mp3 CD quality. It comes with a USB data cable, stand, white earphones, 512MB SD card and AC adapter. Also, you have the option of recording to mp3 or WMV format and there's even an audio input jack which allows you to record straight from other devices. It's about $250 (with tax) right now at Long and McQuade (30-day full refund policy). They have better models (H4 and H4n) that are even more sensitive, but then you're looking at over $400 and they look like tasers (http://www.long-mcquade.com/?page=products&ProductsID=1952). If you want more info just PM me. And no... I do not work for Zoom or Long and McQuade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found two good voice recorders, I like the olympus because there are different levels of quality. http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=39275&vpn=WS%2D400F&manufacture=OLYMPUS%20IMAGE%20SYSTEMS http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ICDUX70-Recorder-Recording-Playback/dp/B00142VMMS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video&qid=1240194743&sr=1-1 I don't know if they re good?

Benito Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Do any of you actually listen to what you've recorded? I mean... if I don't understand what the teacher has said... i'll learn it by the textbook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantaloons Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I used to record my lectures because I had an inconvenient habit of falling asleep during all of them. Don't macs come with a default audio recorder? Two of my friends have macs and just used software that came with the mac + the built in mic. They said the quality was fine--though you could sometimes hear your own typing. I have a PC and used an entry-level panasonic voice recorder. It worked well enough.

They specialized in making sound cards for computer and their products always have the best audio quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
