I would expect recordings from a mic to sound better than an internal mic. Unless it's broken, yes. If for no other good reason that you can get it away from the noises the computer is making. It's far easier to get the right microphone/lip spacing with a separate microphone and it's easier to isol...

Final Cut Pro has the ability to shrink and stretch videos very slightly. Your editor may need to do that to make everything line up. It's not unusual for separate recorders to record slightly off sync. That's why the grownups still have sync cables on a multi-camera show.

If the station you're delivering to posts an MP3 podcast in addition to the broadcast, the broadcast should be OK and the podcast will gargle and honk. You did save a Project or WAV ...

once I edited it And it sounded OK all during this editing? I exported to a MP3 (same way it came to me) That's a danger sign. when I went to listen to it How? You may be experiencing why we tell people never do production in MP3. Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It converts an MP3 show to its own very h...

Which RCA/USB adapter? Which mixer?
