TSGL: Digital recordings on PC

[Tilman Brandl]

Hi Alan,

my old voice recorder is analog, not digital, so it's signal probably isn't 
DAT. Just in case I would buy a modern *digital* device (which would be 
easier to carry with me) - couldn't this solve the problem of getting the 
info into my computer ? But from your post I gather that a quality mike on 
my laptop would always be better, quality-wise ... right?

Thanks for your ideas
Tilman

  Many "digital audio" devices use DAT which, while "digital" doesn't solve 
the problem of getting the info into your computer where you can 
manipulate/convert it to a form you can use. Given the probable bandpass 
filters of your Philips voice recorder, I certainly think you'd be happier 
running a quality mike into your laptop thru Audacity.  And, once recorded, 
you can work on the files immediately.
