Hey all new to the site, not so new to prank calls :)
I'd really like to get into recording my pranks in a high quality manner.
I'd prefer to to this either with my cellphone (iphone) or my computer, which ever will give me the best quality the easiest.
I see this: Wireless Phone Recording Controller: You can buy this at Radio Shack for $21.99. The part number is 17-855.
But I dont see RS selling it any more.
So what are my other alternatives out there these days for cell phones or computers?
-
I should say I've downloaded a couple of programs I've found people talking about on the web:
Audacity
Free Sound Recorder
Is anyone familiar with either of these programs?
Or is there something better out there for me?
-
I don't like Audacity, I liked it better when it was Cool Edit Pro. As for inline cell phone recorders, I know for a fact RadioShack stocks them in store, usually 3 or 4. Usually under their own brand name, Accurian.
-
What dont you like about Audacity?
Is Free Sound Recorder a better choice then?
I'll have to give radio shack a call and use the Accurian name.
Are there any other inline cell phone recorders that I should look at?
Does anything work with bluetooth? Thats the only kind of headset I have, so I'll have to get a wired one if no inline phone recorders will work with them.
-
You are thinking of Audition. Adobe bought Cool Edit Pro and changed it to Audition.
Audacity is freeware available on the internet, and is amazing for the price.
-
Really so Audacity would be better than Free Sound Recorder?
Do I use this program in conjunction with the inline cell phone recorder?
Any idea if any inline phone recorder will work with bluetooth

I'm retarded... where is it? On the main phonelosers.com page?
-
It's somewhere in the phonelosers.org page. I'm too lazy to look for you and you should just do it yourself anyhow.

Ok so I called around to my local radio shacks & cant find any cell phone recorder either by radio shack or accurian.
I've even searched online & cant seem to find anything.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
Also, which program for the pc is best to use with the inline cell recorder, Audacity or Free Sound Recorder?

We gave you all the information you needed. Go make some sense out it.

Right I have the information but I cant seem to find the recorder any where.
And no one has really said which was better as an inline cell recorder, Audacity or Free Sound Recorder?
-
Go to RadioShack and tell them you want to record cell phone calls. Go bother them, not us. Seriously, all the information laid out right there for you.

How am I bothering you by coming to a forum to ask questions & find help?
You are aware that is one of the sole functions of a so called forum correct?
And its not like this forum is slammed with a bunch of people to where nobody can help out. People should be happy there are new active members to talk the trade with.
And instead of typing wasted letters, why wouldnt you just be helpful?
You keep saying "the information is laid out right there for you"
But nobody has told me which of the two programs is best to use for recording cell phone calls.
And I've already called radioshack & they dont have anything to record cell calls any more because they dont sell the device that is listed in that FAQ.
-
Being that I worked in a RadioShack within the past year, I can assure you that they do in fact carry cellular inline recorders and regular landline inline recorders, along with induction coil mics. I've touched them with my hands physically, putting them onto the shelf. Don't tell me they don't fucking have them, because they do.

and here's a picture of me with an inline recorder attached to my head while tripping on LSD from 2006:

You put that suction cup part on the phone receiver, not your head.
Once you hook up your inline recorder ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS and have it all hooked into your computer's microphone jack, you'll be able to capture both sides of the conversation with either Cool Edit Pro 2 or Audacity. Either one works fine, I assure you. Once you've captured the audio, all you have to do is save it to an .mp3 or whatever format you chose. Personally, I use Cool Edit Pro, and I have for years.
And as for talking trade with, I could have swore we did that on the entire first page. Sounds like you're not looking hard enough in the correct places. Alright fine, after all that, you happy? Maybe you should put this one in your 'shattered dreams' box, eh?

That Olympus looks prett sweet, better than the "Recorder Control" that was the other one he linked to?
Ahh so Audacity it is then... I can delete Free Sound Recorder then
I would assume that Olympus works with Audacity as well correct?

Nope, they're totally incompatible with each other. You're going to need to get the Android application.

I've got an iphone...?
Any idea if theres an app that would work with one of those two?
-
Nope, you need a phone and plan. The guys at RadioShack will be more than happy to set you up with an Android phone and full data plan.

Ehh I'm too addicted to my iphone to give it up for an andriod. I was actually getting ready to upgrade to the iphone 4 soon.
Thats a bunch of meat neither one of those recorders will work.

Yes, they will. I'm just fucking with you.

Uhm... You need to record cell phone calls? Why don't you just pop open the phone and stick the audio cable through the hole in the circuit board. You'll see it when you'll get your phone open. All cell phones have this feature per FCC rules, regulations, and guidelines.

rbcp- you should add the Olympus earbud microphone to the cellphone recording section of your recording calls page... it works great, and is compatible with any cellphone since its just a mic..
If you care about keeping the info updated anyway
I know most pranksters are using Skype and whatnot these days, but that Olympus device is the most useful one I found in my researches for a simple option

Am I the only person here who wants to see more images of murd0c with a microphone suction cupped to his head? Anyone else? Anyone?
-
that was secretly my real reason for replying to this thread..
in fact, that's how i found this site..
-
We were trying to see if we could pickup brainwaves via computer with me, 1200 micrograms of LSD and shining me in the face every few seconds with a million candlepower lamp.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do that for a few years now. I'm really lazy. I need to set up a section for Skype recording too.
UPDATE: Holy crap, I just added the TP-7. Thanks for the motivation!
