recording for Special Journalistic Purposes

[burntcopper]

Finally getting round to listening to my recording of the Jerry Herman birthday concert. So far, good quality - a little fuzzy on the words occasionally (more so on anyone with a nasal voice - one of the guys had a really nasal voice and he cones off worst), pretty fuzzy on Angela Lansbury speaking (this is sans tweaking, first listen) and I'd forgotten just *how* evil Jerry and Don Pippin are when it comes the 'International Dolly' bit.

Don't have a full recording - I hit pause a couple of times by accident on the second section of the first half, but at least now I know settings.

Listening to one of Jerry's new songs that debuted at this concert. There should be rules about lines like 'I have barrels of rubies and breathtaking boobies' and much, much worse, 'I've been trained by Nijinsky and coached by Lewinsky'. 'he was small he was sleek he was smart he was rich he was ... gay' which produced gales of laughter from the crowd.

So this gadget with added ultra cheapo maplin mic (£5.99 or something) gets approval indeed. Needed for ... special journalistic purposes. Yis. (or as I put it to the gadget shop people, lectures)

shiny looking toy. If you are planning to use for recording of concerts or whatever, the voice recorders in standard mp3 players tend not to be wonderful. I love my Olympus for that. But for everything else, very cute.
