Table of Contents Index 35 Recording Files Tips for better recording There are ways of making better recordings other than using scene selection. Recording at a meeting By placing the IC recorder on a handkerchief, etc. substituting for a stand, you can record with clear, low-noise sound, without vibration noise from the desk. Recording a voice note By placing the IC recorder close to one side of your mouth, you can prevent breathing on the built-in microphones, and record with clear sound. Recording an interview Place the IC recorder so that the built-in microphones face the interviewee. Recording a music performance By attaching a tripod (not supplied) or placing the recorder on a stand or table, you can adjust the angle of the IC recorder and the built-in microphones more precisely. When recording a chorus or piano performance, for example, place the IC recorder on a table approximately 2 to 3 meters (80 to 120 in.) from the performer(s). Set up the IC recorder with the display window facing up, and with the built-in microphones pointing towards the sound source.
