In order to capture electronic voice phenomena, you must have the right equipment. This starts with your digital recorder. There are two kinds—those with the USB option and those without it. The ones with a USB connection allow the digital sound files to be transferred from the recorder directly to the computer very quickly. The recorders without a USB option must actually play the sound into your computer to transfer the files. This means that it takes as long to transfer your recording as it did to record it initially. In addition, there may be a loss of sound quality; this is not the case when you transfer files via the USB connection.

The recorders with USB transfer capability cost about $60, while recorders without it cost about $40. The time you will save by being able to transfer your files quickly makes the modest price difference worth it. If you own a Mac, make sure the recorder and software you buy are compatible with Apple computers.


White Noise Generators

What we don’t see when watching television shows about the paranormal is the fact that many investigators like to work with some sort of white noise generator behind the scenes while doing their EVP work. Why? White noise generators are said to give the spirits something to work with, perhaps the raw material out of which to build the sounds that are later discovered on the recordings.

Ongoing EVP work is one of the most exciting things in the field of psychic research. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to do your own investigations and analysis of your results.

The electronic voice phenomena researcher simply needs an audio recorder, preferably a digital one, with an external microphone, if possible. To do your analysis and data storage, you will also need a computer and audio software.
It is possible to tune a radio to an unused station to generate white noise, or you may simply go to the Internet to find white noise generator software.
