Tips on Using Cybercorder
Cybercorder
2000 can be used to record spoken audio or music.
- Spoken
Audio - Since spoken
audio does not require high fidelity, a lower frequency recording
format with compression (e.g., GSM) can be used to store many hours on
disk. The following are examples of music recordings:
- Talk
Radio - You do not
have to miss your favorite talk radio shows again. You can use the
Player forward and reverse buttons to advance past uninteresting or
annoying parts of the show.
- Sports
Programming - You can now record that baseball,
football, or soccer game and listen to the highlights or the whole show
at your leisure.
- News
and Special Events
- You can use Cybercorder 2000 to record a news segment or special
event, or set it to record just the part when your favorite commentator
comes on.
- Short
Wave Broadcasts - Listen to your favorite shows
around the world at preset times.
- Ham
Radio - Cybercorder 2000 can be used to keep a
record of all ham radio talk which took place at a specified time.
- Home
Audio Monitor
- Simply connect a condenser microphone to the computer microphone
jack, and set the Mixer Control to record from a microphone, and
Cybercorder 2000 can be used to record at preset times from the
microphone.
- Telephone
Monitor
- Cybercorder 2000 can be used to monitor telephone traffic which takes
place at a specified time duration. It requires a cable with an adaptor
on one which can be connected to the phone. A miniplug connector is
needed on the other end which is connected to the sound card. You
are responsible to comply with the laws in your area for any type of
recording.
-
Music - Music typically
requires high fidelity and thus it uses up disk space very quickly. The
recommendation is to use a large hard drive, shorter recordings, or to
remove/archive recordings after listening to them. Experimenting with
various recording formats can also help minimize disk space, if this is
an issue. The following are examples of music recordings:
- Top
Ten Countdown - You
can use Cybercorder 2000 to stay up to date on music trends. Several
stations broadcast a top 10 (or 20, 50, etc.) song countdown of your
favorite type of music.
- Concerts/Simulcasts
- Set Cybercorder 2000 to record the simulcast and listen to it at your
leisure.
- Albums
- You can use Cybercorder 2000 to record songs from an album which can
later be burned on a CD.
The
MP3 recording format allows you to
take your recordings with you while commuting, jogging, bicycling, or
exercising with the increasing availability of portable MP3
players. The Apple
iPod and the RioVolt
SP100 Portable CD-MP3 Player are popular players which can
play Cybercorder 2000 MP3 recordings.
If
you are creating audio CD's,
you should record in the PCM CD quality recording format. Your CD
writer software can then create an audio CD which can be listened on
any CD player.
Cybercorder
2000 can also be used by radio broadcasters.
It offers very reliable logging of audio broadcasts which can be
automatically purged when no longer needed. Recordings can also be made
for the purpose of ftp'ing them to a web site or for re-broadcast.
