Reddit reviews SONY ICD PX333 Digital Voice Recorder

As soon as the camera guy said he was going to 'stand up for his rights' you can see something click in the officers head and then the abuse of his authority starts ramping up. Looked like the cop took that as a challenge and responded with "this is what your precious Rights are worth" then proceeded to illegally detain him and take his property and stash it inside his cop car so it couldn't record conversations happening outside the vehicle.

ANOTHER example of why these auditors need to buy themselves a simple Audio recorder, especially ones that allow an external microphone to be attached.

I have a couple of these recorders (earlier model but same exact design as these) so I can grab one and take it with me whenever I leave the house. Also keep one in the car. They can record for an entire day before running out of power.

You can stash one in a deep 'hidden' pocket with an external mic clipped outside of your clothing. So if they merely detain you they won't find it with a cursory patdown and it will still record everything even if they steal your main camera.

Even if they find it after arrest and delete the recording it's a simple on board solid state memory chip so the info is still there to recover pretty easily so long as they don't record over the data... which is unlikely as they would need to leave it running for an entire day to do so.

If you want to work on it, you will have to realize that it could take well over a year for improving your voice.

Here is what I did:

I joined Toastmasters. Public speaking for me is nerve-racking and still is but I know that it will have long term benefits.

I bought books. My favourite so far has been Freeing the Natural Voice by Kristin Linklater. It is filled with exercises (sometimes silly but that's okay) that you can do. Be alone in your room and work on it.

To get you started, it all starts with breathing. Take a deep breath right now.


Did your chest and shoulders move? Well, then you are doing it wrong. Proper breathing requires the use of the diaphragm. It is a thin membrane attached to the stomach. Your stomach moves out as you inhale and in when you exhale. Inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 4, then hold for 4.


I also sing in the car. My commute is one hour each way so I have plenty of time. Pick your favourite songs and sing. You will sound terrible at first but that's okay.

I would recommend buying a voice recorder. Our voices sound a lot different to us than what other people hear. I bought this one:

You can do enunciation exercises such as bee, boo, baa, bi, buu. Then work your way up the alphabet. Cee, coo, caa, etc.

It's a GoPro. The rentals at my school have the clip-in GoPro mounts in the ceilings of all their planes, so it's easy to pop your own camera in and go.

I'm recording the audio using this 1/4 inch TRS to Dual 1/4 inch TRSF Y cable. My headset plugs into one side, I plug this into the other, and connect it to this digital voice recorder.

After flying, I load in the GoPro clips and the audio recording and sync up the sound, then export.

I just picked up a $50 handheld Sony audio recorder and it's perfect.

That's a good present. Let me ask, does your brother do more print, radio or broadcast work?

If he mainly does print, anything in the $40-$50 range should do the trick. My mom bought me this when I was in J school, and it hasn't let me down. Anything more expensive is kind of overkill for print reporters.

If you'd rather not pay the extra bit of money on an H1 for its stereo mics, here's another option! http://www.amazon.com/SONY-PX333-Digital-Voice-Recorder/dp/B00BOXNSRY

Wow, I actually agree with PM for once, the original post seems greatly exaggerated. Go up with the instructor one more time, buy one of these and record you flight along with ATC audio and post it so we can hear it.

You want easy as possible when recording, with some time to edit in the future. For this, it seems that the best may be two separate devices. Buy a half decent voice recorder with built-in USB from amazon like thus and have a PC program transcribe it. However, the software side is a bit sticky. Honestly, sometimes, the best solution is to sit down and transcribe manually.

> $50.

I guess "cheap" in this case is a matter of perspective depending on your age, income, how much use you'll get out of it, etc. I bought it to record meetings with a particularly sketchy manager who asked me to do things that were illegal(work off the clock and pour cleaning chemicals down the drain instead of following OSHA protocols) as a means of covering my own ass if any of it ever came back to bite me. I also used it for personal projects, and to record conversations during trips. For you, the amount of use you'll get out of it if you only were to use it for a weekend might not be worth it, but I essentially paid a tiny fraction of a cent per hour of use I've gotten out of mine.

That is a Sony ICDPX333 audio recorder. You can tell from the red dot on the record button.

The weird thing is that the WS-832 was not sold in the US. (See if you can find a first party retailer having sold it in the US. You can't.) It was sold throughout Europe and Asia. Either he purchased it overseas or it was given to him by someone who did. I doubt a US-based reporter would have that model.

i use a standard sony lecture recorder like this, you can get them with batteries or you can buy rechargeable ones, you plug them in with a usb to the computer

i generally find that the teacher moving around much doesn't matter so much as long as you sit up the front close to wherever they are. i just record without asking because im a young white male and i take without asking :)

maybe you could share some spanish and japanese words with me, i grew up with exposure to both languages so am familiar with them a little

I recommend a voice recorder.
