Source Recording

A source recording (previously original recording) is an audio capture of a linguistic session, or a version that may have been "cleaned up". The "cleaned-up" version is not careful speech.

Source Recording is one of the stages of completion.

Tools

You can do any of the following:

For source recordings, consider the following:

  • Use recording devices, as described by Will Reiman:

  • You can record and play using a computer and an application like Audacity.

  • Typically one would do the following: Turn on the recording device. Then, speak the file identifier, date and location, and names of the speaker(s), while checking that the sound-level indicator is working. Do this before putting the recorder close to the main speaker(s). A speaker may want to re-start the recording, at which point the operator presses the stop button and then begins a fresh recording with the same introduction as before, without deleting anything.
