ghance Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi, What software do you use to record a conference to hard disk on a PC? We use a mix of solidstate, MD, cassette & DAT recorders depending on the job (they tend to keep whatever format they've been using for historical reasons). We generally use a backup device.. say a solidstate as the main device and a laptop (Audacity) or the USB on an LS9 as a backup. Can you make any recommendations? Been looking at advanced sound recorder www.soundrecorder.net 'cos its simple and has a scheduler function (might help when I forget to hit record at the right moment) or Total Recorder 'cos it can do playback & video as well.. http://www.totalrecorder.com/ suggestions? cheers .gh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerr Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I like the Marantz CDR310. It records to a hard drive in either stereo or mono, either wave or mp3, and then burns a CD at the end of the event. I do a regular meeting that has to go out for transciption right after the meeting. They are able to accept mp3 files, so I record as mp3 and burn 2 copies of the files to CDs after the meeting and hand them the disks. It has been 100% reliable (knock on wood) and easy to use. There is a CDR420 version that has editing capability, but I don't need that. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I use Power Record mostly for scheduled recording either to back up another recorder or for when the client come up at the end of the show and asks "did you record that?".If I know I'm going to have to edit the recording then I'll record using Goldwave.

TAG1960 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Another vote for the Marantz 310, although we usually back up on a PMD580 as well. Personally I always carry a Zoom H4n as it is a 4 track recorder withtwo built in Mics for those meetings where you cant get a feed from the house PA ( or there ist one!) The other two inputs can be mic or line. Records wav or MP3 at various sizes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
