They will tell you all about what to do next. There is a chain of custody and more to consider.
The original would be the recorder and your lawyer would take that into their custody. You would keep copies just in case.
-> It's a legal problem, not a computer issue.
Hello, I have audio on a portable digital recorder with the USB port. I know that I can transfer the audio using a USB cord to my computer. However, I need the audio for an important case and was afraid that I would be accused of "tampering" with the audio file if I downloaded it on my computer and then just transferred it to a CD.
If possible, is there a way to transfer my audio from my portal digital recorder directly to a CD or USB using an external device or burner system?
Please let me know.
