HEADPHONES
Monitoring on headphones, at least from time to time during recording, is important to establish the quality - not just the level - of the audio you’re getting. At least one customer told us recently that the meters looked fine during recording, but found out later that all that meter movement had been squeals and squeaks, and not clean voice.

With digital recorders monitoring is even more important than with tape, as recording at too high a level will chop off the highs and leave you with distortion you can’t lose.

Good headphones are also really vital to hear all the detail in your audio, to cut out annoying background noise in office environments (and avoid annoying your colleagues.) We keep several types.

AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-ANC7

Many of us have heard of Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Bose ads are in the weekend supplements of the better newspapers, and they never tell you how much they cost. I once wore some at an Apple show, where they were demonstrating early iPods - they were stunning, but so is their price.
There are noise-cancelling ‘phones from JVC and Sony too, but they are consumer products, and I’m not convinced by their audio and build-quality.

But now there are the new ATH-ANC7’s from Audio Technica - a proper manufacturer of pro audio equipment.

Read what A-T says about them.

What I say is now we have noise-cancelling headphones for the rest of us: the high quality you expect from A-T; you can turn off the noise-cancelling circuitry and use them as ‘ordinary’ headphones for monitoring or listening; you can take off the headphone lead and use them just for noise-cancelling. And one of our customers says they sound better than her Bose’s (which she lost).

I took them on a trip on the Central Line to test their noise reducing capability. The London Underground is likely to be one of the hardest test for any product like this. Read on

ION TAPE2PC CASSETTE DIGITISER
The Tape2PC makes digitising as easy as it can be: you need recording software such as Audacity or Acoustica on your Windows PC, or Amadeus on your Mac, to record the digital stream coming into the PC’s USB port from the Tape2PC. You need to set the recording software to the right level for the tape you’re digitising, and to turn it over, but apart from that you can sit back and quietly monitor what’s going on.

Quickly transfer your tapes to WAV format on your computer

Plug & Play USB audio interface no drivers needed!
