Lap top ETD microphones

[Mike Spalding]

Ned,

When I first started using RCT on a Windows laptop, I bought a lapel mic, as
recommended in the RCT manual.  Quickly learned that it was more trouble
than it was worth.  One more thing to carry around, take out of the bag, set
it up, put it away, leave switch on and kill the batteries (that's right,
the mic has its own batteries)... all that for no performance gain over the
built-in mic.  Any problems I had were eventually solved with record volume
settings in Windows, and with computer placement on the piano.

Now I use Pocket RCT.  Send me a couple bucks for postage, and I'll send you
my lapel mic.

hope this helps

Mike
