audio recording legally admissible in court in NY?

In general, absolutely.  But like any evidence it needs to be authenticated, and it will be excluded if it is not relevant (or if it contains hearsay, or is more prejudicial than probative, etc.)  It may also be excluded in a criminal case if it is a police recording obtained wwithout a warrant.

You can record everything that you can hear. Read below how :

A verbal contract is just as valid as a written one.  Especially if that person knows the conversation is being recorded.  But laws vary state to state, so I would look up your state's contract laws on line.

You can record any phone call, but it would only be admissable in court if you informed the person on the other end of the line that the call was being recorded.

In cases where they are just in the background, incidental to what you are doing, I don't see how anyone could expect you to get their permission to tape them.  It is the intentional pointing of a camera at a subject which is important legally.\n\nRemember, too, that most of the time those incidentally included will not even be recognizable when the tape is played.  A lot of times, you won't even realize they are there until you play it back.  I don't know whether there is case law on the subject, but I can't see how anyone could successfully argue that you had violated their rights in such a case.  The right in question is generally a right to be paid for their appearance.  Clearly you cannot pay all the people in a crowd scene, and I am confident that "included by accident" subjects, even if only a few and not a crowd, fall into the same category.  \n\nHowever, I should warn you that I am not a lawyer.  If someone hassles you, it is probably worth it to offer to reshoot the scene without them.  If you are sued, you will need a lawyer.  I am merely pointing out that the law is, generally speaking, rational.  When a judge makes a ruling that seems strange, he will offer justification based on statute and case law.  The strangeness usually comes from an otherwise sensible law (or prior ruling) being applied to something unanticipated.

If they refuse talk to you when you notify them you are recording their conversation I would think they are getting ready to lie to you. If they are aware the conversation is being recorded it is admissable in court and they probably do not want that.

Yes, but any party that is recording audio of any conversation has to inform the other that they are being recorded.  You don't have to agree to be recorded but unfortunately the company can discipline as they see fit.

Yes, but only if you have one of the newer Creative soundcards.  If you do, you have to enable "Record what is played" (I can't remember the exact wording, but it's something along those lines).  If you don't have a newer Creative card, then no.

I'm gonna guess it is a lot more than we think. Kinda creepy, huh?\n\nbtw, anybody can record anybody at any time, without their knowledge. It's only if the recordings are brought into court that the "advising" part comes into play. Most tapes will be deemed inadmissable evidence if the party being recorded was not advised that they were being recorded. However, there are exceptions to this "rule". Just watch any of the daytime "judge" shows, and you'll see plenty of cases where someone was recorded, making threatening or promissory statements. Those tapes seem to be admitted every time.\n\nA good rule of thumb seems to be - don't say anything on any phone that could potentially be used against you. I guess that will eliminate at least 50% of the calls made!

You are in a bind.  If, when, you let the attorney know that you have such a recording, then he or she will be less happy to represent you properly.  On the other hand, when the attorney demands more fees and payments, and you do not come through or balk at paying these, then the attorney can be less than stellar in representing your best interests.  Either way, it is difficult.  No matter, it is common practice that either you pay a flat fee or charges as they happen (like by the hour).  Either way, if the attorney has outside expenses, those are passed along to the client.  This would be true especially for a mediator.

There are programs to do so, but if you're not there it can yoke up all your memory!\nYou can record manually through a media player with a phone modem active and specify it as the source.\n\nCan get a small device ( phone recording activator ) at lectronics store that turns on VOX equipment.

I suspect that you would be trespassing if you did carry in a camera or tape recorder. There are also privacy issues.

It's my understanding that you can record a conversation as long as you are one of the people talking.  My friend recorded his ex's phone calls to him and then they used that in court against her.\nIf you were recording two people and neither knew it then you couldn't use it.
