i have the olympus ls-14 here, i also have a bluemic for my iphone wich does a far better job recording and you get a minny usb and a line-in with a low medium and high switch. the mics are verry good as well, and it can handle external mics with phantom power or otherwise. I have the booksense but it doesn't record as well.

Hello,I am really starting to get into recording sound effects and would like to get some people's thoughts: I have several devices and I am wondering what the best way of putting them together would be. Also, if anyone has any ideas on what equipment I should get, please let me know:recorders:Braille Sense (not the typical recorder, but with a line-in it sounds fantastic!) Braille Plus (not typical, but has some pretty good built-in speakers as well as a line-in feature) I also have a Sony recorder that has a really bad built-in mic, but also has a line-in and is probably as good as the other devices A windows 7 laptop (has a loud fan, so I would rather not use it, unless I can make sure the computer is not in the room I'm recording in) I also have an IPhone (Has a really good built-in mic for vocals, but the mic has a compressor that is annoying)Mics: I have the onboard mics for each of the above devices and I also have: Shure PG 42 USB mic Shure SM 47 (typical) Shure SM 58 (typical) typical means that they are connected through an xlr cable. I am not 100% sure if this is a good idea, but I plugged the USB of thePG 42 into the Braille sense and strung an eighth inch to eighth inch cable from the mixer plug (the pg42 has its own sound-card and that has a headphone jack) to the line-in of the Braille sense. That seemed to come out really great, although it was not stereo. I don't know if the Braille sense is the right power for the PG42, but I didn't have any explosions when I tried it...I am trying to figure out if I should invest in an eighth inch mic, or if I can possibly use what I have. I don't currently have a sound card, but I was either thinking:1. the Roland Duo-Capture or 2. Roland Quad-Capturethe duo has batteries that are strong enough to provide mics like the SM47 with power, so I could then either take my computer along with me to the sound recording place, or do the USB hook-up that I did with the PG 42 on the Braille Sense.The Quad would stay home and I would just use it for instrumental recordings, sound effects that are able to be recorded in the studio and if I did get a new computer, I could take it to a few places where I need to grab sounds. It would not stay in my backpack.I am mostly wanting to do sound effects, but I am a musician, so I do currently use the PG42 or IPhone to record me for competitions and what not. If I did get good at editing, I may explore recording other music, but that doesn't seem too likely at the moment. I really would like to get stereo sound, but if the cost for stereo is prohibitive (over $500), I will probably just use Haas Effect in all my mono recordings. I would eventually like to get a couple omni directional mics and strap them together with a foam disk in between them, so it sounds like human ears. But that is kind of expensive and I'm not 100% sure how I would record something like that. For sound effects, portability and quick set-up time is very important. I'm not sure carrying around a sound card would be the best idea, but I would like to know what other people think.thank you, -- Brandon Keith Biggs PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
