Recording hints

["Bocianowski Thomas" topotoma]

Hi All,

I have recently started to record sounds around, first using a voice record=
er, then I decided my self for a Marantz PMD 620.
By now I am recording at a lower level of gain to limit the unwanted noise.

In fact if possible I'd like to have some advice on how to record properly,=
 I searched the archive but couldnt find resources on that particular recor=
der, but I guess there are general rules that could apply.

Shall I use only PCM or MP3 can be sufficient ?
Is there any particular software that can help in removing hiss/unwanted no=
ise ?

Thanks,

Thomas
