Anybody know if this case fits the DM models as well?

A Couple of Digital Recorder Questions

2017-07-29 Thread Kelby Carlson
All,

I have a couple of questions about recording with a digital voice
recorder. I have an older Olympus DM-4 that is still in good
condition. I have an iPhone 7 as well, but can probably not afford a
really good external mic for it.

I recently obtained a very good sound pair of in-ear, wired binaural
mics from Andrea electronics. These mics have great sound quality. The
only issue is that I can't use them while I'm walking anywhere, since
the have to go in my ears. Likewise for recording things like classes,
because it will look as though I'm not paying attention to anything.
Are there any creative solutions to use these mics without necessarily
always having them in my ears?

If not, then I can still use my recorder with its internal microphones
which also sound pretty good. The issue is that the recorder has
intense handling noise, so I can't move the recorder around at all
once it begins recording. I've looked for a carrying case, but all of
them seem to be such that they cover up the controls when the recorder
is inside. I've attempted recording with the recorder in a front shirt
pocket, but then I just get the noise of the cloth rubbing against the
recorder itself.

I'm at a loss at this point. I have very good equipment but am having
trouble getting the results I want because of this.

Any help is appreciated.

All,

Are there any external mics that can plug into the iPhone?

THanks. Is there a good way to get a sense of which microphones are
worth purchasing? i will probably have to do it online, so if there
are any review sites that would be nice.

Recording While Moving Around

2016-07-07 Thread kelby carlson
All,

This is a rather basic question, but I haven't been able to find a
good solution. When using a digital recorder to record an environment,
sometimes I need to move around while doing so. Holding the recorder
in one hand is not always the best way to do it. Furthermore,
sometimes I need to move the recorder just slightly for various
reasons. When doing so with an internal microphone, the recorder will
catch the touch of my hand on the device; the pickup of the sound is
quite noticeable. Unfortunately the recorder i am using (Olympus DM-4)
has a tiny carrying case, but it can't readily be attached to anything
and it obscures all of the buttons.

Any suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated.

Anyone know how the Soundbrick Plus compares to some of these? 
It's fairly inexpensive, but I received it as a gift and I like 
it.

From: "Mary Otten" I would really be interested in hearing a comparison from 
somebody who
has experience with the Bose sl3 and the Creative Roar, which is 
about

half the price of the sl3.
