I plan to use this to record class lectures, will it suffice?

It should do the job, yes. HOWEVER, make sure it is charged (there is no "battery meter," so the only way to be sure is to fully charge it an hour or two before you plan to use it). You may want to test it first to see how long it will last (battery and memory capacity). ALSO, like any microphone, nearby noises will be louder, as will anything touching the microphone/recorder. I've been using it for brief interviews and voice memos - for this it is great. I have recently noticed a newer model that seems to have playback, for only a few dollars more - you may want to look at that... It should do the job, yes.

I think it would, just sit in the front row to guarantee better recordings, and don't touch it or shuffle papers nearby or those sounds will be MUCH louder than your prof's voice.About the people who bought ones that failed.... it sounds like getting a "good" one is sort of a luck-of-the-draw. Maybe buy 2? They're really cheap. Mine has recorded over 10 hours, still going strong... be gentle with it maybe?

I bought it for the same reason This thing stopped working after two uses. So no don't buy it please!!

It has 4 gb so I'm sure if it's charged up before you use it, it will do. I've left it on to record my mom's dementia talk so the doctor's could evaluate her decline.

Depends upon the speaker. I used this for two interviews. The first was in a room with the recorder on a nearby table. The second was a phone interview with the phone set to speakerphone. In both cases the pickup was better than expected and it seemed to hear as well as I could. If you can hear the lecture well enough, I suspect it will do fine.

I wouldn't. It's good for recording something in a short distance like a study group, lectures are too far away even if you're in the front row because there may be a lot of background noise that should distort what you should want to hear. You can get a digital recorder for $20 or $30 with.better speakers for lectures.

I suppose you could though I'm not sure as to how good the quality would be. Utilizing the software video capture as a primary monitor may also have a delay with input if that would matter to you.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

I think it will work, but it is not user friendly.You need to go through set up, choose the right screnn resolution and learn how to set up recording.

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that

I used it strictly for recording study lessons, and it worked well it is an excellent recorder. you may find what you're looking for at Tmart, and they're having a big sale right now on voice recorders/mp3.

Why are you recording a recording? Usually when you record a class you just play back the tapes without re recording the whole lecture. Normally when I record a class I use my Sony tape recorder, not digital, and I label all the tapes I record. In this way I can select which lectures I want to listen to again. It seems you are doing double work.

When you turn on the recorder, it does not make any noise. When you record it makes a very soft beep and also when you stop ( 2 beeps) Nothing bothersome. Reproduction is very good for a lecture, not ideal for a classical music concert.

Yes, I believe it will serve that purpose well. The quality is very good by my standards, and you will have multiple recording options from which to choose to enhance quality, depending on the recording situations. They call it "scenes".

I think definitely YES! In terms of quality of the files what one gets this recorder is really great in its class. Just visit JVC home page before you buy it and check for the mounting stuff! At the time I bought this recorder mounting options were very poor... Hope they have heard customer voices and for now have more mounting options to offer. And of course - get some extra battery as well!

Should be ok. I have recorded vinyl to PC. Most important is the audio software capabilities

Yes is a good choice image processing. Im using CS6 and other image manipulation programs works perfectly. I dont have too much experience with recording device. But, it has a well recognized audio card on it.

I am not sure how well it would turn out. The sound would probably be a bit tinny. When I consider the price, the sound is great. But we only use it to make our school book drop a cool experience :) I have a voice recorded that sounds real enough...................

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

yes and it has a microphone so it can record conversations or lectures, as long as you don't run out of memory that is. great little machine for the price!

Hi Sultan, yes this Sony ICDTX50 is good for university lectures. It is compatible for most Windows based operating system and has an internal memory of 4GB and can be expanded up to 32 GB (micro SD). In addition, it has a compatible high-speed USB port for faster file transfer. Its sleek dimension also provide easy carry and handling. -Ely

it works really well in a classroom. record the lecture and review it when you are studying.
