Let's discuss ways to get a really good EVP recordings when investigating.

I've personally found that using a small, digital recorder can work, but it's not always the best. There is a alot of digital noise when you enhance recordings.

The best EVP I've captured were using a laptop, a pre-amp, and a professional mic. The equipment doesn't have to be majorly expensive, but compressor mics will give you a nice, crisp recording and I personally have received better results. I also think that Cool Edit Pro, although old, is awesome software to use.

Does anyone else have any advice/techniques to share?
 
I've read that cassette recorders end up recording the motor. At least you don't have that with digital. There wasn't any digital, robotic sounding noise when I used a laptop and a good mic. It helps to keep it still on a desk top. When you use a small recorder and walk around, all you hear are shuffles from your clothing.
 
Yeah, sure, why not, but not after eating bean burritos. :ROFLMAO:

I've never recorded outside, though. Can't imagine the wind would benefit any.

I use my iPhone to record EVP's, it's best to pick a night that has less noise if you're going outside) I've captured many unexplained voices but the wind can sometimes trick you into thinking you're hearing things too x
