Those are fun records.. What diaphragm are you using and how are you recording it? As into what kind of recorder? This is all new to me and I don't under stand the technical terms, but I am going to figure this out one day hopefully soon.. I may have to break down and drive 100 miles to the nearest apple store to see if I can get help with what it takes.. I called there help line but they don't get into things like that..

How far back from the horn would you say your putting the mike?

The reproducer is one rebuilt and tuned by Wyatt Markus last year using the newer cardboard diaphragms. I used the M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 recorder mentioned in another post. I simply stand in front of the machine holding the recorder about 15 inches in front of the horn opening, with the grill (along with grillcloth) removed.
I sometimes use some processing if the record surfaces are really noisy, but you get a dull, odd-sounding result if you overdo it.

I'd call ahead to any computer store before traveling very far to get a feel as to how much the workers can help you in person with your needs. I gave up on the teenagers and twenty-somethings who have less of a clue than I do about what I wanted to do, or at least couldn't explain it in a way I understood!

I looked up the recorder on the net.. At least I see what your using. Sounds interesting, and I guess compared to others reasonable, if you can call it that? The features look good. I guess these new things are all geared to getting the sound into a computer which of course the old kind isn't. If its like other new things though I will probably be nuts trying to figure out the instructions to something like that.

LarryH: here's something to consider, if you haven't already.

You must have an Apple, based on your earlier post, and the more recent ones (which you may have) come with built-in microphones as standard equipment. If you have a situation where it's easy to place the computer a few feet from the horn, or vice versa, then just get some audio recording software for your existing Apple and you're in business.

Larry,

I use the Microtrack as well. It's really not difficult to use, but I suggest you download the readme files and print them up. They are more explanatory than the booklet.
