Re: [Harp-L] notebook microphones for harp recording

["ben bouman" <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony

I use Audacity very often ...
I record with a Sony ECM-MS907.... it's a stereo electret condenser . I plug 
the mic straight into my notebook and that works very well.
The mic is mounted on the original stand and I record keeping a distance 
from 2 to 4 inches.
This gives me a nice acoustic sound and enough space to do handeffects.

I don't like the reverb/echos from Audacity. For that I use Sony Soundforge.

I can send you off-list mp3's with some recordings....
