Some Pointers ...
For recording voice(s) at a computer:
| 1. | Just about any $20-$30 headset with a built-in microphone will work well. |
| 2. | $10 boom microphone or clip on microphones work pretty well. A stand alone microphone is also quite useful for creating movies by multiple people who are working together (two students, two teachers, or a tutor and a tutee). |
| 3. | Plantronics and Logitech make several USB headsets for about $50 that gives somewhat better results than less expensive headsets. Plantronics makes several folding headsets. |
| 4. | Buy one or more splitters (about $10 each) if you want two people to share headsets or microphones. This makes it simple to collaborate. |
| 5. | TechSmith sells various recording devices including clip on microphones in their store. |
For recording voice(s) away from your computer:
| 1. | Using a Bluetooth microphone paired with a Bluetooth adaptor (USB device or built in to your computer). Directions on pairing microphone with computer: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=903 A preliminary step requires you have to download and install the Widcomm bluetooth headset profile. |
| 2. | Using a FrontRow sound system Connect audio out from FrontRow box to audio in on computer. Test/change the recording level. |
