Hi Katrina, you wrote: > I have had horrible luck using the Olympus VN3100. Goldwave has helped > a bit, but the quality continues to be unacceptable.
The VN-3100 is a recorder for note taking. There are Olympus recorders, which produce much better quality recordings, but all use an automatic level control, which is optimized for voice recordings. Like the first poster, I think that the Edirol R-09 would be great for that purpose. If the music you want to record is relatively soft, you might hear the preamp, which is a bit noisy. In that case, you could buy the Edirol Microphone from Sound Professionals. It costs $99 and it can be plugged onto the recorder. Because it is quite loud, one doesn't have to turn up the recording level as far as with the built-in mic and therefore, one doesn't get as much noise from the preamp. <*** Michael Lang ***> Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
