Recordings can be analog or digital, and NYC Transcription provides tips for improving the quality of analog recordings.
Analog tape transcription refers to transcription from cassette tapes or microcassettes, which are analog sources. NYC Transcription provides services related to the use of both standard and microcassette tapes. Standard cassette tape transcription is considered superior to microcassette tape transcription.
Microcassettes may work well, but only for recording one-on-one audio. Recording on the slow speed is not advisable on a microcassette because it will impair audio quality even further.
NYC Transcription recommends using an external microphone when using a tape recorder for audio tape recording. Built-in microphones on recorders have substandard quality. There are two types of external microphones: omnidirectional and directional.
A directional microphone will pick up sound in the direction you are recording and is the only recommended type. The omnidirectional microphone is not a good choice because it will pick up sound in all directions, and the audio has an excessive amount of unrelated noise.
Audio cassette tapes are adequate for one-on-one interviews and small groups. Audio cassettes are not recommended for focus groups, however. A camcorder with good audio input is the best way to record a focus group.
The best practice is to use only new cassettes because cassettes with previous recordings often contain confusing bits of audio.
Another tip concerning cassette tapes is to tape over the holes on the top of the cassette to prevent accidentally recording over needed audio. It's also advisable to make duplicates of cassettes before sending them in for transcription services.
Of course, as mentioned before, the more modern digital files created by digital recorders are also transcribed at NYC Transcription Services.
