Muvo TX voice recording noise/buzz very h

bought yesterday Muvo TX 256MB (non FM), latest firmware installed (.0.05) and heawy noise while recording speach. Actually the noise has more intensity than what is ment to be recorded. The buzz/noise continues 00% of the recorded time, all time the same, and no matter what is trying to be recorded. Is the device broken? Or is this device just unusable by "feature" or is there some parameter that should be used (did not find any in the menus of the device)...
Is it just DOA? Or are all other having similar problems?

I've bought a Muvo TX FM 52 and I'm having the same problem. The buzz/noise is too high. My friend has a different one (also TX FM 52) and the recordings have some noise too but it is acceptable. I'm so disappointed with this function of this player. I installed the new firmware but it didn't help at all. I intend to return it if I cannot resolve the problem.

  • MuVo: Strange noise on voice recordi

    I have a MuVo TX that I use for recording meetings and classes (as well as the other things it can do).
    When I play the voice recording back there is an odd thumping sound in the background. I get this no matter where I record and also hear it after transfering the WAVs to the computer.
    Is this a known problem?
    Is there any good audio editing software I can use to filter this noise out?

    Not so good quality and wave files.... Hmm not very helpful... wav files are much bigger so will eat up the av space in no time... stoopid.
    My nPod makes voc files from the built in mic which are fairly small but cannot be converted to mp3 (well, I have not found out how yet). But the quality is pretty good - have made some fairly good recordings of bands this way... dub them back to the PC to make mp3 or wav for Muvo or CD.
    Why on earth has C made the input socket a small jack? Thought everyone uses 3.5 mm these days...
    Otherwise a great machine for making mp3s off the streaming radio on t'net! Just for test purposes of course.

  • MuVo Voice Recording Qual

    I've been a happy MuVo NX user for over a year, EXCEPT for its voice recording. I use it to record parts I'm supposed to sing with a chorus. When more than a few people are singing, the result is lots of loud static. I don't need a high-quality recording, but I would like to be able to avoid the static. Do any of the more recent MuVo units have a better voice recorder? Thanks.

  • Using Muvo TX FM for voice record

    Hi all, am looking forward to learning all about how to use my mp3 player via this forum--and hope to contribute as well (at least once I get the hang of things! :smileyvery-happy: )
    I purchased the Muvo TX FM player and was wondering if anyone has used the voice recorder feature to do things like record class lectures, meetings, whatever, and what your experience has been with it.
    I attend a lot of meetings as part of my job and think it might be helpful in recalling quotes and such--but I don't know how well it works in terms of range, etc. Sound quality doesn't have to be great just good enough for me to hear what is being said.
    Anyone?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, I did not record much until now, but here are some short thoughts:
    It is best to lay the player e.g. on the table and do not move it around while recording, because touching the player and moving it will result in additional noise that will be recorded. Wind could also make the results worse.
    And the range is depending on background noise level. I'd say a few meters, if it is quiet.
    Since creative did some improvements to this feature, I suggest you use the newest firmware .3.03, it records on a higher volume level than the former one and creative reports that background noise is lower now.
    Try it and out and see if the voice-recording is useful for you.

  • MuVo TX / N200 Voice Recordi

    I am thinking of buying a MuVo TX and have a quick question for those of you who own a MuVo TX.
    When you record a voice, can you transfer the file to your PC and play it as a mp3.
    I see the MuVo TX records in IMA ADPCM format. Does this mean it is not a mp3 file?
    How is the quality of the voice recording ? (It seems like a low sample rate!)
    Thanks

  • I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

    I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
    How do I do this?
    (when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

    Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said.  You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
    If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before.  You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer). 
    After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
    If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

  • Voice recording hiss - static - buzz

    I'm trying to record my first podcast. I have a Macbook Pro, osx 10.5., a microphone, a imic, a M-Audio Buddy Preamp.
    I have set all the midi settings on both the mac and GarageBand itself and I've adjusted every button, knob, and slider on the preamp and in the program.
    I thought I had read every article I could find on how to get audio into the computer and from what I read this is what I should do, so I have layed out almost $100 bucks now. All I get is my voice that sounds like a whisper even when I'm holding the microphone right up to my mouth, and it is only audible if I'm shouting into the mic.
    Now I know I could just use the built in microphone or just plug the microphone into the input but the hissing noise seems as loud as my own voice. How do I get a clear sounding voice like all the podcasts that are out there?
    I have also tried using Sound Studio with the same results. I'm so frustrated about this I hope someone can help me.
    Is there anything that can be done for the hissing sound also or is that normal? I don't hear that high pitched hissing noise on any other podcasts.
    Thanks for any help.

    I am guessing I don't have a Condenser Microphone, I googled Condenser Mics and they don't look like the one I have. It's just a mic that we use with our Karaoke machine and has 500 ohms on the side and I thought humm 500 is a big number, must be a good thing.... obviously not.
    So I will go home from work tonight, and just for giggles, set the Imic switch to the speaker symbol and see what happens, but I think I've tried that. But I'm assuming it wont work without a Condenser Microphone.
    Looks like I'm going to need to shell out money for a new Microphone, unless anyone can tell me how I can get rid of that hissing sounds I hear when I plug the Microphone directly into the iMic or plugging the Microphone into the Line-in port, the volume isn't an issue when I do that, it's the hissing sound that's so bad.
    I'm sure there has got to be a way to muffle or cut out that high pitched hiss out of the voice recording, making it a clear voice instead of a voice with someone saying "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" over the voice.
    I'll post again when I get home. Thanks so much

  • How many min. can i record with voice record with MuVo V200 1

    Hi,
    I'm going to buy the Creative MuVo V200 GB.
    Now my questions about this player.
    How many minutes can i record over voice recording.
    Maybe someone can tell me how much Megabytes minute of recording will take.
    Are there different quality levels of recording?
    In which format does the player save the recordings?
    I will use the player to record lectures at the uni'versity.
    Did anyone have done this?

  • Muvo N200 - Improving Voice Recording Using Built In Microph

    I noticed that there is a transparent sticker over the N200 display.
    It seems to cover the microphone.
    Has anyone noticed any benefit by peeling this off and then making voice recordings.
    I have tested it but can't hear any difference.
    Anyone got any voice recording tips ?
    Thanks

    BognorRocks,
    The transparent plastic is meant to protect the display from scratches. Although the plastic is covering the mic input hole. I don't think it makes such a big different in the recording.

  • Zen Vision: M Voice recorder feature for school quest

    Hello guys. I am very close to purchasing a Zen Vision: M 30GB MP3 Player.
    My main concern is with the Voice Recording function since i wish to record
    school lectures.
    Will anyone who owns one of these or has direct information, please discuss this with me?
    ] How clear are the recordings? I'm planning to record 2-3 hour lectures at a time
    2] I've been hearing there is a faint noise due to the hard-disk of the unit, does it present an issue?
    3] How is the battery life, in terms of recording?
    Any additional information you have dealing with recording, will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,

  • Want to use my voice recorder with my MacBook Pro

    I have Olympus Voice-Trek V-11 and want to use it. The problem is that it's no longer supported by Mac. I use MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5. I appreciate it very much if anyone knows what should I do to make my voice recorder usable with my MacBook Pro?
    In other words, I'm looking for something like Apache's Open Office to  MS office suit.
    I appreciate anyone's help very much!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To do what you want, do not use Migration Assistant. You will damage OS X. Instead, you need to erase the hard drive, remove everything from your MacBook Pro and restore the Time Machine backup, so you will be upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.
    It is as simple as holding down Command and R keys while your computer is starting up. Then, connect the external drive with the Time Machine backup, choose the option to transfer a Time Machine backup and follow the steps in the display.
    As you will lose everything you have in the MacBook Pro, you may want to make a backup of its files first.

  • Mount an Olympus VN-2100PC voice recorder

    Hi!
    I bought an Olympus VN-2100PC. That's a voice recorder with 64MB flash memory with the ability to connect to PC by USB. i bought it in hope, that it works on linux as an usb mass storage. well, that's not the case.
    There is a disc with some windows software called "Digital Wave Player". The installation with wine doesn't work. Doesn't matter cause just the software wouldn't make arch to recognize the device.
    So far: Is there anybody who got a device like this workin on arch or another gnu/linux distribution (or on a mac)?
    maybe some of you find this information useful and can help:
    dmesg shows this if i connect the device:
    usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
    usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    address 6 cause i plugged/unplugged it now a couple of times to watch differences in /dev.
    in /proc/bus/usb/devices it shows up too:
    T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 6 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
    D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1

    E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=50ms
    in /dev it shows up as there exist this files:
    /dev/usbdev2.6_ep00
    /dev/usbdev2.6_ep02
    /dev/usbdev2.6_ep81
    /dev/usbdev2.6_ep83
    my minds about it may help too:
    The voice recorder uses Digital Wave format. Whatever that means. I just found it out by googling.
    I think the device doesn't really store files on it's memory. Looks like the Digital Wave Player connects to it, plays the recorded audio (sort of virtual files) with the USB-connection as "output", records it and saves it to disc.
    So, is there something like a Digital Wave Player (like the one on the disc mentioned above) for linux?
    Thanks, Cheers!

    This is very embarrassing -- I really don't know why I didn't check. Sorry.
    EDIT: If odvr fails with HQ, SP or LP quality files, either try this patch or this utility in place of sandec. I successfully used the latter.

  • Ic Mp3 Voice Recorder - silver not black

    Hi,  I have an Ic Mp3 Voice Recorder (I can't read the sub-model as it’s too faded) though it is a silver Ic recorder.  It worked great till last week. Now when I download any recordings they show up as normal (ex: one shows as 177, 661KB and one shows 14,191KB). They are both clearly there, but when I play them back I hear no sound. Is there any way I could have accidently “muted” the device???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello WGB,
    Without knowing the model number of your recorder its very difficult to know what might be going on. There should be a reset button the on device that should move all your settings back to default. This would ensure any setting that may have changed to cause this would be reverted back to normal.

  • Digital Voice Recorder for MAC?

    I recently switched from PC to MAC and am very happy I did.
    I just have 1 thing that still need to use my PC for - I use a digital recorder almost daily, and then email the recordings to different people.
    I use a Sony so I can't use it on my MAC.
    I am looking for a digital voice recorder that is as easy to use as my current one, I just plug it into my PC, open the software it came with, and it converts it to MP3 and then I attach it to the specified email and away it goes.
    I tried an Olympus but the effort it would have taken to convert it to MP3 was ridiculous.
    I would love some suggestions...
    Thanks!
    Glenyce

    I use an older Olympus myself, rather similar to this one, and though it records in WAV format rather than mp3 it is really pretty simple converting the files if you wish. The ones that Dave Sawyer links to look better for your purposes , though.
    Sony make Mac compatible recorders which record directly into mp3 these days, too, though. See here, for example. Or this one.
    eww's suggestion looks good , too.
    There are a lot of choices out there. The best selection depends on what quality level you require for the recording, how important small size is, whether you will be using external mics, how much storage capacity you need, how much you are prepard to spend, etc etc. Might be easier to refine recommendations if you could provide a bit more info about such things.
    Cheers

  • Digital Voice Recorder iMac compatible

    Hope I'm in the right forum! Still very new to iMac and still in the process of transferring data from Windows. Each day I come across something that is not compatible - today it is my Olympus Voice Recorder which I rely on. I used to download the recording onto PC, convert the file and edit and cut - then save to iTunes. Now,that's not possible on iMac. Do you know which voice recorder I could get that is compatible with iMac. One that I can download the entire recording to and use software (which?) to cut and crop and edit etc and put into my itunes? I am guessing that there is already an application in OS X which will allow the editing - it is more a case of how to get it on the iMac to start with. Thanks. SM

    Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) in conjunction with Soundflower ( http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/ ) will let you do most things you may need, including recording direct from web inputs.
    It'll open and edit most sound formats and the editing options are pretty good for a freebie. version 1.3.12b is pretty stable and I've not found any major bugs yet.
    Export options are also comprehensive, though for most purposes, .mp3 or .aif are all that's needed.
    There's a wiki page for it at http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
    No doubt there'll be other equally valid suggestions; this is far from the only option (but it is free!)
