I am working with new digital recordings and in the process of digitizing older analog recordings.
With my equipment, I can record in 16 bit. The question I have is- is there a significant difference in recording/transferring to 44.1 KHz or to 48 KHz ?
Would there be any problems if someone asked for a different KHz rate and the recording had to be reformated, i.e. problems with dithering?

Thanks

This question can be best addressed through an inquiry on H-Oralhist. Please consider sharing what you learn about museum playback units on our Wiki. Thank you.

Thank you for the great primer on digital recorders. I am in the market for one. I want to recorder my own “oral history.” I want to be able to easily download it to my computer. I want to be able to easily transcribe it. I wonder whether programs like Dragon can be used to transcribe the recording, and how effective Dragon is. Or whether the old fashioned method, using a pedal, is the only good option.

hi I am an artist working on a z force memorial sculpture for the city of Rockingham.
I am trying to find a good quality playback unit for an oral history recording. Can you recommend a product that would be suitable for a public environment.
sincerely
