ITC Bridge Forum: Tascam dr22

[babayaga]: Anybody use Tascam dr22? How is it? [ArizonaEvp Super]: I personally don't know anyone that has one of these. They seem to have good reviews for its intended use as a voice recorder. For EVP work, you can probably get by with a less expensive recorder. Ron [babayaga]: Thank you for answer, Ron. I already have it. I cant understand, should I turn off noise filter on recorder? And what mode best to record spirit voices? Boris [ArizonaEvp Super]: That's a very nice recorder you have. Yes, turn off the noise filter and record at the highest quality settings. You will have to figure out which mode works best for you. What software do you plan to use to listen and possibly filter? Ron [babayaga]: Thank you, Ron. I really like it. Yes, I turned off noise filter and seted highest quality. I want say that i did it. I recieved very clear human voice and dog`s bark. It was amazing. Audition 3.0. In this programm i just amplify (normalise) sound. I know that somebody use crystals to amplify signal. Do you know which cristal? [ArizonaEvp Super]: Some people use quartz crystals when they record because of the piezoelectric effect of the mineral. I'm not sure how effective this is, but quartz is pretty to find and inexpensive to buy. Ron [babayaga]: Agree, can try. My friend said, that he use purple minerals and this amplify signal. But I didn`t try it yet.
