I’m trying something new. An audio blog. I don’t know how many people are doing this - or - if they are doing it the way I’m doing it. But I can speak a lot faster than I can type - and - it only used a little over 1/2 meg for 4 1/2 minutes worth of rant.

It explains itself. All you have to do is Click Here and listen to what I have to say. The voice speaks for itself.

So - that having gone well I made a second recording where I describe the Digital Voice Recorder in more detail.

Although you not have to have it, I found some audio software called Goldwave. Here’s another mp3 audio file where I Tell you About It. the Glodwave software can be found at goldwave.com.

Just as an experiment here’s a little audio Using the Internal Microphone that is built into the voice recorder. It doesn’t sound to bad - the audio levels are lower - but that’s not a surprise. Not as good as the external mic - but it is usable. But - I used the Goldwave software on the file and created this Enhanced Version that sounds every bit as good as my $9.95 external mic. I just brought the audio levels up about 12 db and added a little bass and treble.

I’ve done yet another experiment I just did another rant this time using the clip on mic that came with the recorder. Additionally I spent some time editing it with the Goldwave software where I removed about 30 seconds of a bad joke and a few “ya knows”. I did mess with the audio a little too much so there is a little clipping - but I’m getting better at that.

So - I called up my friend Bartcop to tell him about it and tried it out recording the phone conversation. I had to do a little digital compression and expansion to get our voices to the same level - but I think it sounds pretty good considering I’m on a $20 900mhz cordless phone.
