Record in mono at 44100khz pcm, 16 bit, set your levels between -22dB and -12dB max. This is way too big a file for internet uploading, but it's your best uncompressed format for editing. Use a basic editor (like Goldwave) to top and tail your recordings and compress to a lower bitrate. The bitrate you compress to will depend on the acoustics of your room and the quality of your encoder, I recommend the LAME encoder as I've found this deals with room reverb better without artefacts, at lower bitrates, than others like the Faunhoffer. As a starting point try compressing to 64kBps mono mp3, if this sounds ok you could try as low as 32kBps mono, because you recorded in WAV (uncompressed PCM) you'll always have the originals if it sounds shit.As for the room, go for a quiet room (obviously), lots of soft furnishings, and get the mics as close as practical to the speaker(s), no more than a meter if possible. If the mic is on a table, put it on a foam sheet (or thick felt) if possible to cut down on reflections from the table. If the recorder has a high pass filter (hpf) at around 100Hz, switch it on. Always do a test recording first and listen to it on a good quality set of closed headphones.
cheers for that Serps and sjw. The recorder came with cubase. Is this the editor (sorry for being so thick about all this).
This is the recorder in question.
Is it common to refer to "stereo images" when recording sound?
