What I used…

Here is the Olympuis voice recorder that we used to record or Voxpops and interviews, using this voice recorder it helped us to control the levels and change the settings to the a good clear interview.

Button to allow us to record.

We were able to play back what we had recorded this was good and helped us because we could then see if it needed to be recorded again because something was wrong i.e levels.

We then used a USB cable with a mini USB at the end to plug the voice recorder into the computer and upload or recordings, this helped us because it made it easy and efficient to upload and then edit our recordings.

When doing are recording in the studio we used a mixer to record the sound and so we could hear it, this helped us because this allowed us to record our sound and would immediately come up on the computer. We could the mic levels and the PC out levels and the recording levels, this helped us because it gave us the freedom to change how we recorded.
