H1 & H1n Zoom opptakerere

Det er nok langt bedre å spørre en voksen om hjelp til å forstå opptakeren, men om du er i knipe finner du bruksanvisningen her:

iPhone som opptaker med Taleopptak (ikke anbefalt metode)

Fra iPhone 6 framover, det er helt ok som opptaker, selv BBC bruker dem til audio oppdrag. Tips fra BBC om hvor man gjør det. (OBS! Røde Reporter app er mye bedre som opptaks alternativ, men videoen har mange gode tips.)

iPhone og Android som opptaker med Røde Reporter app (anbefalt metode)

Gratis Røde Reporter app fra App store og Google Play
(Ellers søk Rode Reporter)

Brukes med eller uten eksterne mik. (FOTO: Røde pressebilde)

Anbefalt hvis mobilen er hoved opptakeren. Ser like ut på iOS og Android. Veldig lett og trenger kun en liten innstillinger endring;
Settings> Quality > Standard (WAV format)

PDF-en (som også ligger i permer på Digas-rommene) finner du HER

OBS! "File>Save as database project" frequently! Nothing is saved automatically and your work will be lost if there are network problems or a contact break with the main Digas server!!

Import og konvertering fra iPhone til Digas

  • Give your recording a unique name in the Title field
  • Click on the RED circle button. You are now in STANDBY mode, with a blinking red border to indicate you are ready to record.
  • Click on the GREEN triangle (play) button. The red border will now be steady red and a timer will start. You are now recording from all active microphones and other mixer channels that are turned on.
  • Make your recording. Always speak to the "tip" of the mic, never the sides. The "level" of sound you are recording should be peaking at around the -15 / -10 on the level indicator on the mixer panel. If it is too low, push the fader up for your mic channel to increase the level. Mouth to mic distance should not be more than 20cm. Make a fist and put it between your chin and the mic tip. This is the correct distance.
  • Click on the BLACK square button (stop) to end the recording
  • Click on OK to save it to the Råstoff catalogue

  • Ensure that ALL Microphones are OFF (slide their faders all the way to the bottom/press ON-OFF button)
