Here's the deal (and I apologize if this isn;t altogether clear) posed as a hypothetical. You and I have a conversation in your computer room. I record the conversation using a pocket cassette recorder. You record the conversation to a disc in your computer using the microphone built in to your machine. I am trying without success to come up with a word or phrase which would be reasonably readily understood to refer to your disc and/or my cassette, but not to the recorded conversation itself. The word or phrase should allow me to point out that I can alter my tape by cutting it, or alter either one by adding my rendition of "God Bless America" without necessarily affecting the original contents. IOW, how do I say clearly and briefly that the _______ has been altered without implying that the recorded contents/information we originall put on them have been altered? |
