Can this be used to slow down audio lecture recordings?

Interesting idea...I use mine to replay music on a CD, note for note. Since you can adjust the speed of the music playback, seems like you could also use it to slow down a lecture, or at least back it up to replay sentence by sentence. Good luck...B

Yes. I can slow down anything that is on the cd in it. When is slows it down it won't alter the pitch either.

I didn't buy it for recording. I bought it to play audiobooks on cd for my class. It was substandard.

I don't think you are going to get good recordings of loud concerts with any recorder using this Mic. You would need a more professional device.

Yes, regular audio CDs, not sure about MP3's which is an occasional format for audiobooks. And, yes, you can slow down the speed, but it will alter the sound somewhat...the voice will get deeper and more robotic sounding the slower you go.

I bought this for my daughter to record her lectures in college and for her 1hr 15min lecture the recorder file is around 104.2 MB and it is pretty much good quaility.

Yes it will go down to 1/2 speed (X 0.5), tried it last night, but you will experience some digital distortion almost like a reverb affect. By the way, that is the max limit. Great tool, great for practicing and learning. The on-board microphones sound pretty good too.

No. I wish it could. I also wish I could stop ans start recording for chosen tracks only.

I use it in lectures all the time and the mute button has never failed me. Even if you accidentally tap on words that are associated with recordings, the pen will not make noise unless you specifically hit the unmute button (which is on the bottom right of the page and virtually impossible to hit accidentally).

I don't think so. I just download to my Cyberlink Wave Editor, that enables me to slow it down if I want to.

You can slow down a song or increase the speed while maintaining the same key. The sound quality will suffer a little but it is still good enough for learning purpose. Since this trainer will not last forever I have bought one more for back up. For me this trainer is the perfect learning tool. One way I use this tool is to set the speed at max and then play the songs to build speed and accuracy.

Yes, it can, but each time, you are creating a new sound file, so it will be more difficult to play back. It is not a dictation machine! It does not pause the recording.

I think the quality is very good, also the price. I am a court reporter and I always record everything, so that when I go to transcribe, I can slow things down. But to be honest, with what you are talking about, just recording music, I am guessing you don't have to use the slow mode, or double time, to slow it down, do you? If not, you may just want to get maybe the same brand, but not with the two speeds. Hope that helped!!

It's not very complicated, but still could be an issue. Know that slowing it down, will distort the sound (deeper) while speeding it up causes the "chipmunk effect." This is a feature (slowing) best used for musicians trying to figure out a difficult instrumental solo. I'm guessing that's not the intended use here?

It really is an issue. It takes several seconds to determine distance and volume level before starting the recording. You never really know when the recording is kicking in.

Ho Scott,There you have me. I'm new to Audacity. It did what I wanted in level control and recording. In learning to do what I needed, I ran across many thing that amazed me, but can it remove clicks? I don't know. I suspect it can, but I did not try this yet. I think you'll just have to dig in and since Audacity is a free download--not connect to purchasing the Pyle machine, why don't you get it and look over the help and user information? Then you'll know first hand.Hope this helps,Leon

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

If you have headphones with a mic, you actually can record with it. Plug the headphones into your iPod nano and an option called "Voice Memos" should appear. It's only really functional if you want to record short reminders and that sort of thing. I wouldn't recommend it for lectures and long recording sessions. I was unable to figure out how to export it to my computer through iTunes.
