Still the sound issue...

Much depends on the sort of quality you need and the duration of the performance.

Smartphones, tablets, digital memo recorders and suchlike are capable of recording but due to the size the quality isn't great and in some cases the duration they are capable of would be limited.

Whatever system you choose will provide a problem because recording the choir will be relatively easy but recording you singing with the choir will be more difficult. A microphone would need to be carefully placed on a stand close to you perhaps or you would need to hold it or you could stand apart from the choir.
The logistics will be for you to sort out with the choirmaster and the other members...

The device is another matter. The simplest would be a quality cassette type tape recorder. These have been obsolete for years but there is still quite a few around. Even better would be an old reel-to-reel tape recorder but those are now few and far between. The advantage of these are they just need loading with tape and switching on...

Some video cameras have amazing stereo sound and in particular the VHS video camera/recorder. Other cameras have sound capability and sometimes it is very good so they are another option....

Perhaps the best option for these modern times would be a half-decent laptop computer loaded with recording software. There are many programmes available and some are free and some will turn the laptop into a virtual recording studio. Goldwave is free, and very stable and reliable but it can be tricky to make it work. Add a compatible microphone and you are all set. The better the quality of microphone the better the results will be.

Happy singing!

I have EXACTLY the same problem with mine...anybody? thanks...

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. All digitals camera has a features of video recordings, however they have the difference when you try to review or watch it thru the camera itself. I have the same camera as yours, First I thought that my camera was damaged because I don't hear any sounds at all when I'm trying to view/watch my brother's gradustion day. When I try to transfer all the data on my computer, thinking that trying to re-format the camera will be the resolution for my issue to hear the sounds of my recordings. While listening to a music while reviewing my pictures on the computer, I heard a different sounds, then when I try to pause my music, I'm happy to hear that its my brother's video on his graduation.

The answer to your question if your going to upload your video on your computer, YES! you can hear the sounds of your recordings thru your computer.

Please let me know if you have any question.

Thank you for using Fixya,

When mine does that, I just turn it off and on again. That usually works.

Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and Click on Sounds, Click on Audio, then Click on the Microphone. Then Click on the drop down and select Camera Microphone.
Click OK and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud

sounds like your reverter is split youll have to take it in or send it to the manufacturer when did you purchase it?

i bought et18k. just the same as yours.its 2 days old and has the same problem. the technical assistant says that its because of the digital setting that new tvs have. there are two ways to solve this though:

1. connect the video (yellow plug) to the tv. and the other two plugs (yellow and white) to the stereo. when i say stereo, its not the dvd home theater system that you have but a separate one. if you connect it to the home theater that you have, it'll just sound the same, you still have the delay.

2. connect the magic sing to the older tvs hangin out. and you'll get no problem at all.

**TVs such as sony, samsung, philips, sharp and all plasma tvs including other newly designed tvs will have the delay since they all share the HDMI thingy that causes sh*t.

any video recorder can do that, just plug you camera to the input of the video recorder and press record on the video recorder.

Thanks! The slap with the palm of my hand worked!! Good thing I didn't send it off like the live chat guy Kheanj told me to do. Saved me a fortune! LOL!!

hi, i think you have to check all the setting related to voice just check them out. Then still you find trouble just RESET the camera. all the best..
