Hi Paul and others, Paul, My experience is that just about any digital recorder will do the job well enough for a podcast. For me it is about the content and not how flashy it is. I did the Amadeus Pro podcast with a Olympus DM 50. I clipped the microphone to my lap top screen and had my lap top output playing through speakers behind me. The results were audible and that was good enough. I sometimes fine the high tech podcasts with mixers and such a bit over powering. Also, With some podcast using Autio hijack Pro for example the quality of the computer is so loud that it both overwhelms the human speaker and sounds so much like my actual computer that I have been confused as to whether I did something on my computer or the podcast did!
So your Victor reader should be fine. the only catch is the Victor records in a format you will not be able to import into Amadeus Pro to edit or convert to mp3. that is unless you have the optional soft pack upgrade. I have heard many clear podcasts recorded with the Victor Reader Stream. So again the voice output doesn't need to be spectacular to work well. My recent podcasts on using the Reminders App and List Recorder were just don with the internal microphone with Amadeus Pro. I didn't do much of anything to clean them up other then delete extra sound. My iPhone was being used normally just near the computer. I hope to make future ones better as you and others increase my knowledge of Amadeus Pro. But I promise to not get carried away with music and echoes and all that stuff. This is a great thread, I've been pushing myself to learn more thanks to you folks. eRic Caron On Feb 19, 2012, at 8:09 AM, Paul Hopewell wrote: > Hi Eric, > OK I will have a go at a podcast.
