Hi,
I don't know what is the best recording product for me. I would be most
grateful if you could please help.
I am a music teacher and I have been asked to put some talks onto
home-made CDs for some blind people in my neighbourhood who are
interested in learning about classical music. So what I am hoping for
is a simple piece of equipment which I can record my talks into - by way
of a good quality microphone. Then I need to feed in pieces of music
taken from my CD collection. It would be good if these musical examples
could then be faded in and out under my talk as professionally as
possible. Lastly, it would be good if the final CD could be divided
into tracks, like a commercial CD, so that the listeners can skip to
different parts of a talk or repeat certain sections.
That's all I require. Nothing too complicated, please. Just something
very basic, for voice and bits of music taken from other CDs. I could
do all this just using my cassette tape-recorder, but these days people
expect quality sound and most people have CD-players and not everybody
still has an old-fashioned cassette-player! That's why I am wondering
if you can recommend a simple digital recorder (not too expensive) that
will enable me to produce something of CD quality. (I've been told that
using a computer can be very difficult - getting everything to work
together. Also I've been told every minute equals about 10mb, so I need
something that can make an 800mb CD without problems. (I would probably
record in stretches of about 20 minutes.)
Many thanks in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,
Ellie Bentley. (Mrs.)
