Marisa,

I am using a Telex M-560 USB microphone and am very pleased with it.  It is available for about $30 from various suppliers.

I am running Windows XP.  The built-in SoundRecord utility is adequate for my needs, so I have not needed to invest in additional software.

A 21 second file recorded in PCM format at the lowest rate (8000kHZ 8 bit mono) makes a file 168011 bytes big.  It is rather scratchy.

A middle-of-the road rate is 22,000 kHz 16 bit stereo.  A 21 second file comes in at 1830316 bytes.  The quality is very good.

The highest rate possible with SoundRecorder (at least in PCM format)is 48,000 kHz 16 bit stereo.

Dear All,

We are looking into configuring the Language Lab computers (Mac and PC) in such a way that students can record drills, save them into files and send them to the instructor. 
I would really appreciate suggestions and recommendations from those of you who already have this set up: what software works (or does not),  headphones, microphones etcetera . 

Thank you,

Marisa
