Using a digital voice recorder instead of a stand-alone mic?

[KBhypno]

I have no experience with DVRs, and I'm having a problem finding a stand-alone mic at local stores. I can find a DVR.

Would a DVR make good quality MP3s suitable for hypnosis purposes? Or should I stay with using a mic?

You could use a DVR but you would want to get a good quality one with a stereo mic...so your going to be looking at $200 for a decent one....

Thanks.

I thought stereo mics would be better. I was looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+Digital+Voice+Recorder/1792258.p;tab=overview?id=1218291941157&skuId=1792258

For $70 and with the good reviews, it might be the one.

I just picked up the above model at Best Buy.

In case anyone else wants to use a DVR, I'll post my experience with it. In time I will post the files too.

In trying it out, using the built-in speaker, it is very sensitive, picking up movement of my hand that was holding it. It comes with a built-in stand so that should take care of that.

And it is a little strange hearing my own voice. I wouldn't recognize it.

I have some hypnotism ideas along with some scripts.

picked up combo mic and stereo head phones and connected to the laptop. the combo is for gaming and talking to your competitors.. it was cheap under $15
then used audacity ... which is free ware
works like a charm

AS much as I normally try to avoid Tread Necrosis I just thought I'd share this little bit of software I stumbled across.

It's called "Music and Voice Cleaner" byt Izotope. It's primary function is to clean up all the extranious noise from less than ideal recording sources....
