HOW TO RECORD E.V.P

ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT.

ANY TAPE RECORDER WILL RECORD EVP. THE CLARITY OF THE EVP JUST DEPENDS ON HOW WELL YOUR TAPE RECORDER RECORDS. IF THE RECORDER IS A LESS EXPENSIVE MODEL OR IF THE RECORDER DOES NOT HAVE AN EXTERNAL MICROPHONE THAT YOU CAN ATTACH TO YOUR CLOTHING OR A HAND HELD MICROPHONE, YOUR RECORDER WILL PROBABLY RECORD THE INTERNAL MOTOR OF THE MACHINE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT ONE TO PURCHASE STRICTLY FOR EVP, WE RECOMMEND ONE THAT HAS A COUNTER FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES AND ALSO COMES WITH AN EXTERNAL MICROPHONE. IT SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE A JACK FOR A MICROPHONE.

IF YOU USE A CASSETTE OR MICRO CASSETTE RECORDER, ALWAYS USE BRAND NEW TAPES AND NEVER RE-USE A TAPE, AS IT CAN DISCREDIT WHAT YOU MIGHT RECORD. ALWAYS RECORD ON THE REAL-TIME SPEED, MEANING THAT IF YOU RECORD ON A 60 MINUTE TAPE, YOUR TAPE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RECORDED ON IN 60 MINUTES, NOT 90 MINUTES. THE CLARITY IS MUCH BETTER WHEN RECORDING AT REAL TIME. HAVE THE VOLUME OF YOUR RECORDER TURNED UP AS FAR AS IT WILL GO, AS EVP'S ARE USUALLY LOW OR WHISPERS. IF YOU HAVE A DIGITAL RECORDER, USE IT. WE KNOW THAT EVP HAS BEEN RECORDED WITH THE DIGITAL RECORDER.

EARPHONES ARE A MUST FOR LISTENING TO YOUR TAPES WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED RECORDING. AS MENTIONED BEFORE, EVP'S ARE USUALLY VERY LOW SOFT WHISPERS, AND MANY ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR WITHOUT EARPHONES. IF YOUR TAPES ARE RECORDED IN STEREO, AND YOU HAVE A PAIR OF MONO HEADPHONES, YOU CAN PURCHASE AN INEXPENSIVE ADAPTER THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO LISTEN TO YOUR TAPES IN STEREO.
