Mobile Podcast Recording
The pastor at my church uses the M-Audio MicroTrack to record services. In December, he created a podcast, though it’s been taken down now, at the Christmas parade that I participated in. With a Sony stereo microphone plugged into the top of the unit he went about recording interviews and getting the general vibe of the crowd and the people at the parade. The MicroTrack did a great job and might be a great addition for field recordings on your podcast.
Here are some of the specs:
- 2-channel WAV and MP3 recording and playback
- Storage via convenient CompactFlash or microdrives
- Drag-and-drop file transfer to PC and Mac via USB 2.0
- Separate left and right input level controls with signal and peak indicators
- Professional balanced 1/4″ TRS inputs with mic/line switch
- Dual microphone preamps with phantom power for studio microphones
- 1/8″ TRS input with 5V power for use with stereo electret microphone (microphone included)
- S/PDIF coaxial input for digital transfers
- Monitoring via RCA line outputs or 1/8″ stereo headphone output
- Stereo output level control
- LCD screen
- Navigation, record, hold, pause, delete, menu, and power buttons
- Software for editing and file format conversion
- 64MB CompactFlash card included
- Powered via USB, rechargeable lithium-ion battery or power supply (both included)
UPDATE: I was wrong about the recording being available, it was down when I last checked, but now it’s back up. -RT
