Re: Delay before play

Does your hard drive light go nuts between the button push and the music?

Re: Understanding the frequency

it does not matter if it happens 40times per second or 1 time and it is still considered a 40Hz signal? It's a 40Hz signal, but it's not sound. It won't be sound for another three or four cycles. I don't know if you've ever had the odd experience generating musical tones. You can't just turn them o...

Re: Recording equipment for voice

That didn't go as well as planned. Two attachments, one with a Radio Shack 3013 microphone into a C-Media ICUSBAUDIO, and the other an adapted 3013 plugged into a Shure X2U USB digitizer. It seems the ICUSBAUDIO suffers from the mosquito whine that plagues USB microphone systems. (clip 1) Two differ...

Re: Recording equipment for voice

My portable machines were chosen for reasonable built-in microphone performance. But if pressed, I'd probably go with a tiny USB adapter like this ICUSBAUDIO and instead of using this telephone microphone, plug in a Radio Shack 3013. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/olympus_TP7Blowup.jpg http://ww...

Re: Recording equipment for voice

What are the ones you reviewed like for singing Koz.
I only have one USB headset and I wouldn't try to force music through it. Attached.

This is what I normally sound like.

Re: Meeting ACX Requirements w/ Audacity

You're good right there. I made the mono show and I'm sending it through processing (and writing it all down). I may not have been clear what I wanted. The Right-Brain Creative is going to bed without supper. Can I assume the second take is the one with the froggy voice? Have you figured out yet the...

Re: Recording sermon audio through soundboard

If the board is set up OK, then you may just need a stereo digital interface. I have a couple of these and there are some at work. They run very well. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo.jpg That's a Behringer UCA-202. The UCA-222 and UFO-202 can all be made to work. Other make...

Re: Recording sermon audio through soundboard

to the "in line" port on our mac. Does it look like the socket on the left? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn.jpg If it doesn't, then you don't have a Stereo Line-In. Many new computers don't. There is one other possibility of failure. Figure out a way to plug headphones or...

Re: Meeting ACX Requirements w/ Audacity

The goal is one of these. Attached.

Another trick is opening up the file in Audacity just before you send it and make sure it's what you intended.
