Hi Andy, thanks for the explanation of where the built-in mic is found. Since, I have basically used a PC, I assumed that the microphone was where you described. I have a pair of headsets that has a mic to it. I will give this a try in a little bit. Would this arrangement of the mic with the headset work to record lectures of considerable length or would a dedicated external mic be more appropriate for these types of tasks?
Thanks for getting back to me quickly. Best, Eileen On Nov 14, 2013, at 8:25 AM, Andy Collins <a...@recreation.plus.com> wrote: > Hi Eileen - > > Are you using the built in mic?
