- Please consider to use DMC audio studio as your first option to record interviews, since soundproofed room and the audio set-up offer superior recording quality. There are two stand microphones in the studio: one has on/off switch and the other does not. Use the one without the switch as the primary microphone, and use the one with the power switch as the secondary microphone if needed and be sure to power it on. Refer this guide Using Audacity to Record Audio to step-by-step instructions.
- Alternatively, you may check out Zoom H4n audio recorder or Zoom H2n audio recorder from the DMC. Both recorders are very portable and offer excellent recording quality as well.
