Darryl works for a community radio station and the need to record telephone interviews. What is the best approach?

Do you have any recommendations for hardware and software to record telephone conversations on the radio package, please? I am a sorcerer's apprentice to a workstation transmission of community radio. Schedules do not always face to face interviews, but people often respond by email or phone call.

Although I did a lot The radio was as a guest, so that the material side of a table of transmission remains a mystery to me. However, I am told it takes one unit or TBU telephone balance, especially if you want to live calls in the air. The TBU connects the incoming telephone call in the mixer, so you can speak (and hear) the caller using the microphone mixer and headphones instead of the handset. The TBU divides audio streams incoming and outgoing calls, allowing you to clean and the balance (so the presenter does not saturate the caller, or vice versa), and the appellant also fade in and out.

A cost

TBU as, for example, SONIFEX HY-03 619 pounds plus VAT. If your radio station need you can find a cheaper model, or try to pick one on eBay.

course, radio and podcasts over the packets are produced without using a TBU, and there are several different approaches.

The problem is that it is very difficult to record broadcast-quality audio through a standard telephone line, and have spent decades in demonstrating this. I mainly used a cheap phone line splitter (splitter also known as call recording) that plugs into a standard RJ45 telephone jack. Then I connected to the output on a Sony Walkman WM-D6C professional or, more recently, a Roland R-09HR (also known as the Edirol) digital recorder. It works, but I always end up sounding too loud and too narrow, while the caller seems too quiet and distant, and in mono instead of stereo crispy crackling.

You may be able to get acceptable results if you put the call on a decent speaker phone and record their interviews using a Roland R-09HR, H4N Zoom digital recorder or similar. You'll have to experiment to find the best positions for you, the speaker and the recorder. The main disadvantage is that you can also capture external noise (barking dogs, fire trucks, etc.), unless you can do in a recording studio. But unfortunately, the days of frameworks speakers sound decent veneered probably disappeared ... If callers have access to a PC, Skype is probably the easiest way to record an interview, using a program like High Criteria Total Recorder in Windows or Rogue Amoeba Audio Hijack Pro in Mac OS X. There are several alternatives designed for recording Skype calls, including Pamela and (free) call graph recorder for Windows and Mac OS X.

Scott says you can record a Skype conversation, even if the caller does not have a PC. In this case, would probably have to use Skype's SkypeOut service from a PC running a phone call in a normal voice. SkypeOut is not free, but you can purchase minutes as any pay-as-you-go service.

the UK and some other countries, you can also buy a SkypeIn phone number and move like any other phone number. Callers dialing from your regular phone, but you receive calls on your PC.
