I need a digital voice recorder best suited for recording my voice for chorus and quartet rehearsals

I'm looking for a small digital Sony voice recorder best suited for recording singing for chorus and quartet rehearsals.  I received model ICD-AX412 but don't think that's the right one for this. I found a couple other models PCMD50 and PCMM10 online but want to know what to get!

Hello Carol,
Welcome to Sony Community.
When recording a chorus place the IC recorder on a table approximately 2 to 3 meters (80 to 120 in.) from the performer(s).
Set up the IC recorder with the display window facing up, and with the built-in microphones pointing towards the sound source.
Refer to page # 34 of the Manual (ICD-AX412) about placing the IC Recorder for recording chorus.
 Also, select the Recording scene as “Lecture” for recording a chorus lesson.
You can refer to page # 32 and 33 of the Manual to select the recording scene.
Please mark it as "Accepted Solution" if you find this information useful.
Regards,
Colby

  • Advice on best way to setup Disaster Recovery for SOA Suite 10.1.3.4

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some advice on the best way to setup Disaster Recovery for a SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 install deploying JSF/ADF OC4J applications.
    The way we are trying to do it at the moment is manually copy the "applications" and "applications-deployments" folders for the OC4J application on the production server, then compress and ship the files across to the DR application server nightly. (We don't require high availability).
    In the event of a disaster we then extract the files and copy to the OC4J instance (pre-created and configured) on the DR server. Unfortunately to date we haven't been able to reliably setup a DR application (seem to mostly get 404 errors etc), even though the OC4J application has its connection pool resolved to the DR database and is showing as "up" in the ASConsole.
    My question is, is there a more "native" way to do what we are trying to do. We do not have Enterprise version of SOA Suite or 11g database so any advanced recovery features are not an option. The setup is also stand alone, i.e. we are not using clustering or RAC etc.
    Any ideas would be really helpful.
    Thanks,
    Leigh.
    PS we are also running the production apps server with Oracle Application server 10g 10.1.2.3.0 as the HTTP apache server (with Forms, Reports and Discoverer deployed) and the SOA Suite 10.1.3 applications use the 10.1.2 HTTP server via the HTTP to AJP bridge. So the 10.1.3 OC4J instance is configured to use AJP on port range 12501 - 12600.

    For enterprise solutions, AS Guard would work.

    However, since advanced recovery options are not available (as you said), then what you are doing should not be too bad.

  • Lenovo g580 do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice ?

    Hello,  If anyone could help me please ?, I am wondering do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice onto my lenovo g580.?
    My friends have said that good laptops have audio interface's built in... but I cannot see how this could work as I am trying to build a home recording studio. Do they mean that I just need to have a mixing desk ? As the audio interface is already in my laptop, ?
    Another question I have is... I have bought a microphone to record with a studio mic. But when I plug it into the headphone socket, it works as a speaker and not as a microphone. Please can you tell me how do I make it work as a microphone, and record on ableton. Thanks. I live alone with two cats so I'd really appreciate some help ! 
    Thank you very much, best wishes.

    I'm preparing to expand my studio from a 1 man songwriting system,
    to add the capability to record a complete live band, with 16 separate
    simultaneous tracks recording. Am I dreaming?
    Nope. I've been recording live bands with up to 56 channels at 24 bit 48kHz for three years now.
    1) Does my computer have enough native power to handle such a task?
    Yes. The actual recording uses the hard drive buss, so you need to make sure you have fast drives and a dedicated FW or SATA buss for them.
    2) Is there an audio interface device that could help shoulder some of
    the cpu load?
    No. CPU is used only for routing audio, effects, etc. An audio interface is used to route the audio in and out of the computer, and as such does not process effects at all.
    3) is it possible to use my multiple, fast internal drives to help?
    Yes. Although with Logic Pro you can use only one drive at a time for recording. HOWEVER, I have been able to use SATA drives to record up to 56 tracks AT ONCE. So there is plenty of power there.
    4) If not 16, what's the highest realistic track count I can hope for?
    Again, I have done 56 tracks. 16 is a walk in the park in comparison to 56. I would recommend you invest in Apogee AD16X and DA16X, since in one interface you get ALL 16 inputs, and the other gives you the 16 outputs to go to, say, a mixer. And the sound quality is very very very good.
    thanks in advance
    You're welcome.

  • I am trying to identify which platform is best suited for creating a digital magazine?

    HI, and thanks in advance for any help.  I publish a digital magazine on Joomag, but want to move away from that platform and use adobe. 
    I simply don't know which platform within the suite is best suited for a novice user.  I'm not a luddite, but not a wizard either.
    Can someone recommend some solution?

    If you only need to handle 2 clients, I see no reason why you
    couldn't run your FMS on your Windows XP machine.

  • Looking best external USB2/FW for Record Play: up 24bit/96-192khz (iMac G5)

    As an audiophile, I'm trying to find the best external USB 2 or firwire device for connection to my high end audio system so that I can convert a number of records, few cassettes. Also any recommendations for the best software ? I would spend up to $4-500 if it was really needed.
    I also have a number of LaserDiscs to covert to DVD and/or audio CD or audio files.
    iGriffin products seem too basic and the M-Audio products seem to have a lot bad review.

    I bought an intermediate digital 8mm cancorder on eBay for $200 or so. A Sony DCR-TRV340. Sony's built-in analog-digital converter let me put my analog tapes into camera, and provided me with digital output. Once I had digital output from a camera, I had digital input for the iMovie App. I no longer needed the vastly poor stand-alone analog-digital converters in the marketplace (Dazzle, for one), that were freezing the iMovie program from the get-go. Although I received NO replies to my question, I managed to solve this one with a little catching-up technological-wise.

  • BEST WAY TO RECORD FROM TV

    Whats the best way to record from TV and then be able to edit the footage, without losing quality?
    Is it with a dvd recorder, how to you get the files off the recorder???
    Thanks
    Simon

    If you already have a digital video camera, you can probably do it without buying anything extra. I have done this by connecting the video output from my able box to an input on my video camera, then connected the camera to the computer using the FireWire cable. I opened iMovie and imported the video from there. Of course, it's a bit of a pain, so I haven't done it often, and the quality is only as good as your camera is capable of. You may need to buy the cable to connect the cable box to the camera, though mine came with such a cable.

  • What is the best USB 3.0 (small) ext HDD for recording my music on

    Hello everybody!
    i start with saying...........
    A Happy Newyear!!!!!
    I wish you all the very best and love.
    Now for my question.
    I would like to know what is the best portable usb 3.0 external HDD for recording my music on.
    Because since today i am a very happy new owner of the new Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz, with 8 GB of Ram and 256 GB of Flash.
    .... and yes it has the Samsung Retina Display
    Since 8 years i use Logic Pro and because the flash is only 256 Gb i want to record on a external drive
    and not on the internal storage (and especially now with usb 3.0).
    But i would like to know what is the best portible external HDD for this function.
    500 GB is enough for me because i have 2x a 2 TB for my Mac Pro and Macbook pro where i make back ups from all my music (2 back ups just to be safe).
    Some Examples i saw:
    - WD My passport USB 3.0 - 500 GB harde schijf
    - G-Technology 500GB G-DRIVE Slim USB 3.0-harde schijf
    - LaCie 500GB Rugged Triple USB 3.0 externe harde schijf
    - Freecom Mobile drive mg 500 GB harde schijf
    - Western Digital My Passport Essential SE USB 3.0 500 GB harde schijf
    I would really like some good advise in this.
    Hope you guys can help me out with this.

    I cannot speak specifically about any of those Ext HDs because i don't own any of them..
    But...
    Make sure the external drive is 7200rpm.... and not 5400rpm or a 'green' drive with something called "varipower' or a similar name...

  • Best way to record from analogue camcorder

    I have just purchased a TV@nywhere Master card with MSIPVS.  My main aim is to transfer my analogue 8mm video tapes into digital format.  I am currently running MSIPVS on an 800mhz P3 and the quality is OK but I had hoped for better.  I have chosen the 'best' setting for recording which uses Mpeg-2 I think and a total bitrate of about 550.  I would like to try to improve the quality, when I try PAL or NTSC DVD quality instead of the default then the video is very jerky and unusable.
    1.  Can anyone suggest how to optimize my video recording (capture) quality so that I know I am getting as good a result as possible?
    2.  I also have a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 which I could use, I had originally  thought that the card would provide the high quality video, would using the much faster machine make a difference?
    I would appreciate an answer from anyone who has knowledge of these issues.
    Thanks,
    Conley (Cape Town, South Africa)

    The jerkiness sounds like you're dropping frames on recording (capturing) due to a computer that is too slow. Also if you want quality video you have to go to MPEG2, bit rate of at least 4000 kilobits per second (500 kilobytes per second)

  • Digitized Camcorder Tapes, Edited by iMovie, Recording to DVD

    I recently had a commercial firm digitize some 20-year old 8mm camcorder tapes that I would like to edit and put onto DVD's.  They advised me that editable digital copy would not fit on DVD's and so I provided a portable hard drive.  The tapes that had a full 2 hours of video came out with about 28GB of digital content.  I hope to use iMovie for editing purposes on my iMac, a new experience for me.  What puzzles me is that my DVD+R blank disks claim to be able to hold 4.7GB of data or 120 minutes of video.  Assuming that editing may discard perhaps only 25% of the 120 minites of video, I have a hard time understanding how editing 28GB of video is going to fit on a DVD that claims to hold only 4.7GB of data in spite of the fact that it also claims to hold up to 120 minutes of video!  I would be most grateful if someone could explain this apparent discrepancy between DVD data capacity and video capacity.  Will I have to chop up a 2 hour video into smaller bits or is there something about editing that will render the end result in a form that will fit on a DVD?

    Worry not.
    Digital video can take up to 13GB per hour, which is why you need lots of space for iMovie.
    iDVD compresses this to the standard DVD delivery format of mpeg2 which, as they have correctly informed you, is not editable.
    iDVD is not concerned at all with the size of the files it receives from iMovie, only the length. A single-layer DVD can hold 120 minutes of video but this includes titles, transitions etc. A double-layer DVD doubles that.
    iDVD offers a choice of encoding settings:
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight?

    What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight? I need to just make a short (less than 5 minute, no special effects) video, but I can't figure out any programs that will make this possible for me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    you can use iMovie to record a video for free on a Mac with iSight.
    1. Open iMovie HD
    2. Choose “Create a new project”
    3. Name the project for example “iSight Movie” (first field). In the second field, let the default location “Sequences”, in the third one, video format, choose “iSight”. Push “Create”
    4. iMovie window opens, next to the scissors, choose the camera (Camera mode), then iSight. Now you appear on the screen, right?
    5. Press “Record with iSight” in the main picture window.
    6. Press the same button to stop. Your new clip appears now in the clip panel at the right.
    7. You are done!

  • What is the best way to record a project to an external recorded via firewire. Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac?

    What is the best way to record a project from the timeline to an external recorder via firewire? Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac and recordes in realtime? This is possible right?

    While theoretically possible, sometimes the camera people disable recording back to tape from the computer due to DRM (digital rights managment) issues. They will allow tape to tape transfers however.
    Test your process first is all I can advise.

  • I do a lot of CAD work and 3D modelling on my aging HP. Which iMac would best suit?

    I do a lot of CAD work and 3D modelling, (Sketchup), on my aging HP.  Which iMac would best suit my needs ?

    I agree with RRFS.
    If you can afford it, Custom spec out and purchase the best components for your iMac.
    Custom order the fastest i7 CPU, custom GPU (if you can afford it order the 2 GB VRAM GPU, otherwise get the 1 GB VRAM GPU), add the custom largest SSD.
    Purchase 16 GBs of RAM or more (the new iMacs can take up to 32 GBs of RAM) from online memory suppliers like Crucial memory or OWC. They are cheaper to buy RAM from.
    iMacs are not designed and are not user upgradeable for components other than RAM.
    Purchasd the best you can afford now as it will be much harder to get what you really needed later.
    Also, I highly recommend with whatever iMac purchase you make, you budget for 3-year extended AppleCare.
    iMacs have, somewhat, a regular component failure history. I believe that these failures are due to how much warmer iMacs run than anything else. Purchasing and having extended AppleCare will give you peace of mind and free warranty service for three years.
    Good Luck on whatever you decide.
