| We've been doing interviews with famous
photographers for Shutterbug Magazine ever since our
Jay Maisel
interview in 2001. Being a tech person, I used the equipment that
recorded our telephone interviews and then had to do the transcriptions
myself, which sometimes took up to six weeks fitting it in with all the
other work I was doing. At some point I realized that it was a tremendous
waste of my time and for a reasonable fee (sometimes upwards of $150) I
could have the first draft of the interview transcribed into a Word
document. The first time I tried converting an audio cassette into an MP3
file, I set up my tape player and iRiver MP3 player in a quiet room so the
built in microphone of MP3 player could record the voice recording. The
result was a recording that I was charged extra for because of the poor
sound quality. In doing some research, I purchased a few devices that lets
me record high quality mp3 audio from telephone conversations. |
| I use the
Edirol R-09 audio recorder. It's designed to record high quality
MP3 audio files of live music. I use Radio Shack part number
17-855 Wireless Phone Recording Controller ($25) to connect the
headphone jack from either my desk phone or cell phone to the recorder.
And I connect my telephone headset to the input jack on the wireless phone
recording controller. |
