Digital Files as Opposed to Cassette Tape


Just like VCRs, tape recorders are going the way of the dinosaur. Digital recorders are great because:

  • You don’t need to purchase tapes or remind yourself to turn them over,
  • You can record over 8 hours,
  • You can archive digital files to your computer,
  • Those digital files can be easily uploaded to our server, and
  • The audio quality is much better overall.

Keep in mind that following our guidelines on getting a good recording is still imperative, but,
generally, digital is better than tape. Plus digital records are smaller than a cell phone.
How convenient is that?

The most popular recording device is Olympus. Visit their website Olympus.com for more info.
