Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

That worked out, didn't it? It's 4:35. Is that within the window of time after which you have to come out and gasp for air? Can I cynically assume that fifteenth century Renaissance chamber music doesn't have copyright issues? "Sir Robin of the Scarlet Breast's London Solicitors are on line thr...

Re: 3.5mm headset to XLR adaptors please

I think I know of one reason Sweetwater isn't going to be interested in this. We're not actually converting a gamer microphone into an XLR-3 Male connection. We're only faking it poorly so that a very short XLR cable can get the performance into the mixer before it starts buzzing and humming. A real...

Re: 4 channel MS+XY to 5.1 surround

The Mid-mic of the MS setup will pic up everything in front, but not if the vocal is moved to one of the sides. And it can't. As a practical matter, the lead dialog(s) always happen in front. It's very disorienting to have speech move around as all the FM stations who tried stereo microphones when ...

Re: Edit multiple voice recordings

Matt is an actor and one of the things that sells these clips his "Valley Girl" presentation. That's what made it go viral. Without that, he would just have a weird voice.

Re: Edit multiple voice recordings

You've seen actors do impressions. They copy the mannerisms, rhythm and expression of the target person. That's what lets them do "One Man Shows" where they become different people on stage. I'm a bass and I did a passable woman once by crowding the microphone and imitate a woman's rhythm....

Re: Edit multiple voice recordings

Not in Audacity, but did you take Gale up on the software suggestions he posted?

Re: 3.5mm headset to XLR adaptors please

And speaking of Sweetwater, I have used this AKG microphone.

I used it with the battery adapter, but you can get an adapter that allows you to use it with 48 volt phantom power from a mixer such as your Behringer.

Re: 3.5mm headset to XLR adaptors please

I have posted a product request at Sweetwater Sound. This may be the second time I requested this. I lose track. I send people over to them all the time and I have an account there. I really like their product illustrations and technical details. I don't have to dig for stuff, so I interrupted their...

Re: Audacity record level vs. EMU 0404 input level control

You can adjust sound systems so the technical specifications miss each other and get some odd results. As an experiment, set the device for 44100, 16-bit, Stereo and then set Audacity Preferences for the same thing. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices > Stereo Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Qua...
