Edit my digital voice recordings?

I recently bought an olympus digital voice recorder for one of my class lectures. I can hear is voice, but there is an echo, and alot of additional excess noise I don’t want. I have a Mac computer. What can I use to edit that stuff out so it is more apparent?

There’s not a lot you can do to edit the recording that will improve it. You may maybe edit the file to limit the frequency range that you hear, but the echoes and probably a excellent deal of the additional noise will be in the same frequency range (300-3000 Hz) as the voice.

Your best two options are to place the recorder near the lecturer, if he permits that, or get a directional mike that will limit the sound that’s picked up from directions additional than the lecturer.

Taken with an Olympus W-10 digital voice recorder with a built-in low-res digital camera.

I bought a wire microphone called “Centrios”. I know it’s not one of the best microphones out there but it was the one available in store for reasonable price about $ 60. The wire is this microphone is very very long because it is for stage performances. The business is I would want to have a wireless use of this microphone to use it for digital voice recording because I am a journalist.
I questioned about the wireless business or receiver for the microphone because the input has 3 holes, but I do not know how to make a wireless connection.
Does any person know how may maybe I turn a wire microphone into a wireless for digital voice recorder Olympus VN62000

The descriptions of the microphone are here

You would need to buy a wireless mic setup with a receiver and a “body pack” transmitter. The transmitter should have an input jack that you can connect to your mic, with an adapter cable. Then you would connect the output of the receiver to the input of your recorder (with another adapter).

The receiver will have to be plugged into the wall. Not really a excellent match for a small voice recorder.

I’m not result any information on your recorder, though, so I don’t know if it even has a mic input jack, or if such an input would be compatible with a professional mic. (Edit – added) Ok, it’s a VN6200, not 62000. It does have a mic jack and Olympus sells a tiny small microphone and extension cable to work with it.

I would reckon it would be simpler, cheaper, and a whole lot less distress to get a small cable with the right plug adapters to go honest from mic to your recorder, and place the recorder in your pocket. You’re going to have a mic cable anyway…And your recorder is already smaller than the wireless mic bodypack transmitters.

There are of course handheld wireless mics that look much like the mic you bought, but with no cable. They are larger overall to accomodate the needed battery, transmitter circuit, etc. They come with a matching receiver – same comments as above.

If you’re thinking of an attachment to the bottom of the mic that adds the antenna “tail” you sometimes see in live performances, without a cable to a transmitter… it seems that it should be possible to make such a business but I haven’t seen one on the market. Anyway you would still need the receiver, AC power for the receiver, and so on.

Is there a reason why you can’t just hold the voice recorder close to you when asking a question, then close to your subject for their answer? Granted it’s not as professional as having a pro-looking mic.. .but you’re not a professional yet.
