RE: [personal] Re: [microsound] Heart Recording?

["mark" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The week or sp before my Son was born we went to 
the hopspital for monitoring (just routine). With 
4 or 5 of these machines going (for different mothers)
 it was quite something. I felt it probably wasn't tactful
 to whip out a minidisc recorder but if you ever get the chance 
its an excellent sound source.

cheers

There are fetal heartbeat monitors available where baby supplies are
sold, 
usually near baby monitors. I found one that has a 1/8" stereo output
jack and 
volume control, meant for headphones. When placed over the heart, a
pretty 
decent quality recording can be obtained. I ran mine into a mini-disc
recorder 
and it sounds pretty good. It also picks up other low level vibrations, 
digestive sounds, etc.

best,
