Re: Mic for phone recommendations

I've seen an iPhone with a fuzzy top. Can't remember where. Half the fun with an iPhone is multiple microphones. Research project which one is active during a recording. Could be home-made and that bring up another problem. There was a posting from someone who made their own dead cat. After extensiv...

Re: Audio while recording

That's what Preferences > Recording > [X] Overdubbing does. Make sure none of the other settings in that panel are checked.

Also, there is an overdubbing tutorial.

Re: Recording settings help

and then you can hook up through an online website called Recordator - go look for the website - Good point. I've done that, too. It takes two computers at different locations. Your computer is normal Skype. Use headphones for best quality. The second computer is a member of the Skype call without ...

Re: Recording settings help

The two city recording thing is what this is. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/JMASoundShoot-650.jpg This is the Los Angeles recording I did for a radio broadcast. Each city recorded their own performer. I shipped the LA sound track to the station who mixed it into the final show. They called ...

Re: Newbie trying to use Skype and Audacity

We had a question about that a bit ago.

http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 34#p335034

The short answer is you don't. If it didn't work with a simple setup on your machine it will probably never work. Post back if you figure out a way different from techniques in that post.

Re: Recording settings help

TO the reply about using two computers - I got NO clue how to do that nor what you mean - I am using a new HP Desktop computer The idea is to separate Skype from Audacity. It's the interaction on one computer that causes problems. That coupled with Skype's thing of constantly changing its internal ...

Re: Messed up the Mic

Why I asked for the longer clip... I got the smallest bit of improvement with Effect > Change Speed: Multiplier 1.3. If I didn't know that was Pledge Allegiance from one tiny phrase chunk, It would have taken me a very long time to figure it out. I can't do it, either. It's a combination of speed ch...

Re: Messed up the Mic

Can you post a longer stretch? One second isn't enough to tell what it's doing. The forum will allow up to 20 seconds of mono recording.

Re: Mic for phone recommendations

I have a degree in depressing/wet-blanket, so don't let me turn you off to the idea. It is possible to do those, but there is a learning curve . Nobody I know went out in the field the first time and came back with a perfect recording. I'm not above new tricks, either. I was eating a nice burger her...
