How loud is playback? Assuming that a loud, clear sourced is recorded?

It's not particularly loud. I would say you could hear voices clearly up to about 5 ft away, but after that it's hard to make out what is said. Music or sound is better. I used it for a RR crossing bell in the pocket of a Halloween costume and it was clear enough to tell what it was for 5-10 ft away.

Sorry I can't comment on its recording quality since I only have knowledge of the quality of sound when playing pre-recorded cassettes. You can always give it a try and return it via Amazon's return policy if you're not happy with the quality of recorded sound. Amazon is most gracious with its return policy. Good luck!

sound quality leaves something to be desired if looking for a full and rich output from your recordings; i have connected separate speakers that gives a me the quality i desire (i had the speakers that had been connected to an old desktop pc!).

There are no dumb questions. I don't use that app. The sound that the ND8630 re broadcast is of outstanding volume and quality. Both from my self recorded, and downloaded music on an old Ipod. I have added on a single recording over 15 hours of CD's. It's outstanding.

During playback, yes It's a soft botton on the screen. During recording, you simply yse the stop/start recording

Yes! We recorded some of a concert we went to concert and when we replayed it, it all came out muffled. We disappointed in this case.

I hear this noise too - I used the ZOOM H4 and then dug the LF noise out with Sound Forge and then analysed the spectrum with Diamond Core Live Audio Forensics. Did someone say Pirate Bay? I certainly hope not! I have Spectrum analyses if you want them. Also get AP Tuner 3.8 (Freeware on the web) - Easy to use, you'll figure it out.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable&gt; I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

Not sure - I returned mine because it was horrible during videos - lots of noise.

It depends on the source volume and proximity to the recorder as well as any ambient sound levels and acoustics. I was most disappointed by the fact that the recording length was only 7 seconds. I recorded my sound several times and through trial and error got a decent one.

Likely, you made a data CD (need to make an audio CD) as stated by previous poster. If not, record using a lower sampling rate WAV file.

It totally depends on the unit. Mine won't play back audio without crackles here and there but others don't have that issue. A bit of a crap shoot unfortunately. I still use a different interface for recording for what that's worth.

It works great! Try to sit as close as possible bc it does pick up a lot of background noise like papers shuffling. But even with that the clarity was great and I was happy with my purchase esp for the price. Side note. I would write down the time of the recording every 15 mins or so that way I can skip ahead to the time of where my notes were so I didn't have to listen or try to find where I wanted to review! Good luck!

Not that I know of. The volume is set at the time you record. You can adjustment the volume when you play it back on your video player.

I haven't used the recorder for anything other than for meetings. The quality is good for that but I'm not sure about a loud event. Sorry!
