Step-by-step procedures: what you need, when to do them, and what can go wrong.
A procedure
Record an EVP session
A fixed-duration listening session with a source, a log and a close.
What it is
To make a recorded listening practice repeatable and honest about what it is.
At a glance
- When
- A fixed time of day for a series; otherwise any quiet period.
How to do it
- Set the room, the recorder and the source.
- Ask one question and state the duration.
- Record for the fixed duration.
- Replay once at normal speed and once slower.
- Log fragments without interpreting them yet.
- Write a reading and mark the fragments rejected as noise.
- Close the session and decide whether to keep or delete the audio.
What you need
- A recorder
- A noise source
- A timer
- A log
- Headphones
A worked example
A ten-minute white-noise session with the question 'what am I not hearing?' Four fragments are logged; two are rejected as room noise.
What can go wrong
- Every fragment is treated as a voice.
- The session is used to make health or money decisions.
- The audio is kept without a record of what was rejected.
Background
Keeping a record
The audio file, the log and the reading.
