Telephone Recording Tools
August 15th, 2005There’ll come a time we business owners need to make telephone recordings. I’m not talking about recording for malicious purposes but for marketing purposes like podcasting, teleseminars, creating audio products for sale, or just to share our message.
There are plenty of tools and in this podcast we look at 4 ways ranging from really cheap tools from $7 to $250.
Resources and tools mentioned are:
Shoestringradio.com
PDA-1.com
�Smart� Phone Recorder Control
Telephone Recorder Pickup
JK Audio Inline Patch
Sony Electret Condenser Microphone Model ECM-TL1
Not mentioned but worth considering:
QuickTap by JK Audio
USB Telrecorder
Teleseminar Equipment Sales
Audio Acrobat
AudioBlog.com! Yes you can. They work just like Audio Acrobat, the only thing I didn’t like was the abrupt end to all the phone recordings but you can always download and edit it out if it bothers you.

I’m currently experimenting with SKYPE and Audacity. SKYPE makes the call and Audacity can record both sides to your computer and then export that as MP3 format too.
http://skype.org/
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ give that a try.

I use a phone coupler by Gentner called the Microtel. It’s the same kind we used to use back in the day when we did radio remotes from the phone. We’d plug the microphone in to the phone, plug in the headphones and voila’ - an instant studio. I’ll bet you could find one on eBay for $70 or $80 - nice piece of gear.

I also use Skype and Audacity. I’ve had a couple of comments about reverb on the other person’s end, but that hasn’t come through in the recording. The hardest part is setting sound levels so I don’t come out a lot louder than the person I’m interviewing. In fact, I’m still playing with that, after three interviews.
