 |
|
What is most commonly used, or are the best devices to use when you are analyzing and capturing EVPs?
I am interested in investigating a local school.
My husband and I have a great deal of audio equipment for our DJ hobby. Would any of our electronics potentially be useful in this endeavor? TIA

It doesn't take anything special. Any old cassette recorder with an external mic will work. For the sake of simplicity and convenience however, I highly recommend digital audio recorders. Personally, I use an Olympus VN480-PC and I highly recommend it. It can record up to 480 minutes of audio without ever missing a beat and it plugs right into a USB port, which makes transferring your audio on to your PC for analyzing, a snap. I paid $100.00 for mine at Radio Shack, but I recently discovered that quite a few people on Ebay are blowing out refurbished ones for like $30.00 or something. Can't beat that!
Either way, just be sure to turn off the voice activated feature, if whatever recorder you use has it. Otherwise, you will probably miss a lot of EVP's. For analyzing and enhancing your EVP's, I can't recommend Cool Edit Pro enough!

My Husband has been asking me what I want for my birthday, now I have something to tell him!
Thanks for the advice! I'll let you know how it goes! I am really excited to see if I can capture anything. |

Oh, you will! I would stake my life on it! EVP's are practically like "orb" photos. You will almost always get them. If after a couple of lengthy recordings you aren't hearing any EVP's, I would almost have to say you just aren't listening to your recordings good enough. Even if you do find EVP's the first time you listen to your recordings, listen again! You will almost always find other ones that ya missed.
Out of the many investigations we've done, I can only think of maybe 2 times we didn't capture EVP's.
