microphone to record lecture style lessons directly into audacity. The quality has
been excellent. It cost me $65 from Harvey Norman and works wonders. I have the
laptop on the desk and it’s quite easy to use. Sandisk is also a great
recorder for around the $59 mark. What I have found interesting is the camera
that follows you while you move around the Whiteboard. Excellent for vodcasting
your lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

iRiver T records well in lecture/teacher situations? We’d like
something to leave on the desk and record as the teacher teaches a class (for
senior revision), so the teacher would occasionally turn around and write on
the board etc. We’ve used Audacity before but we’re looking
for a more portable recording option.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I have experimented with a range of mp3 recorders and consistently found the
iRiver T series to deliver good quality recordings for voice. The inbuilt
microphones on the cheaper mp3 players can be quite poor and aren't worth the
time. <br>
<br>
If you are thinking of buying an external microphone, I can recommend the Rode
Podcaster USB microphone. It's big and heavy but produces excellent
quality recording without the need to install software. Just record
straight to Audacity (or equivalent). It sells for $220 or thereabouts. <br>
<br>
Lastly, I must add that if you haven't used Levelator to improve the quality of
your sound, it's a beautiful thing to discover. Just go to <a
href="http://www.gigavox.com/levelator">http://www.gigavox.com/levelator </a>and
download the app. It sits on the desktop. All you do is drag your
recording (in the form of a .wav) onto the Levelator. It will
automagically improve the quality of the vocals, often dramatically so.
For poorly recorded interviews and such, it can't be beaten - and it's free. <br>
<br>
Anyway, hope this helps.<br>
