Re: [microsound] (OT) sampling

[Ian Andrews <i.andrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since speakers/headphones can also function as mics, a cheap alternative
could be to get a pair of normal in-ear headphones, glue a small chunk of
foam onto the backs and wear them inside out with the jack going into the
mic input of your recorder. I'm sure sure no one would notice the
difference.
