Sound Recording Device

[svolk]

I need a sound recording device that I can hook up to my computer - it would be for recording Jerry talk because he is saying SO MUCH MORE than I am able to understand and it's driving me crazy. I really want to understand him better. He talks in a whispery voice and I can tell he is saying more things in English, but it's still either too soft or too fast for me to pick up just yet. This bird is my little prodigy and I want to communicate with him better.

About a month ago I bought a microphone that plugs into my computer, but it didn't work (yes I checked all of my computer settings and everything). It was $10.00. Should I try a different microphone or is there something else that I should try? I don't know much about these things.

If anyone has any knowledge of this kind of thing, please let me know.

You should try a different microphone, and if that doesn't help try getting your money back. Other than that can't really think of anything else unless you get a digital camera that can record movies...
