Re: Microphone question

That would be me. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/USBMicrophoneMacBookPro2Final.jpg I own one of these and I like it very much. You would be hard pressed to beat it for sound quality, room echo rejection and simplicity. It may not be for sale any more. I haven't seen it in a while. --- Mostly eBa...

Re: Advise me for Audio Book & ScreenCasting Narration Video

I'm only partially joking about the air horn performer. There was a performance of the "1812 Overture" on the Mall in summertime Washington, DC that featured actual cannons fired from Fort Myer across the Potomac River in Virginia. "Cannons, right? I know the Director General at Edgew...

Re: Advise me for Audio Book & ScreenCasting Narration Video

Just so you're not on the edge of your seat. That makes your legs fall asleep. You mean it is better to use two dynamics microphones like re-20 & heil pr-40? or you mean that using two mics will result in getting half the quality? Different quality. Two microphones on one instrument or voice is ...

Re: Recording ultrasonic sound

it would be interesting to see how it will pick up the faintly heard, to human ears - sounds of the industrialised areas/city or even at isolated/quiet areas. ...So I can take them to court for the noises they're making? You should be careful to pose the question so it doesn't sound like you're bui...

Re: Advise me for Audio Book & ScreenCasting Narration Video

My personal general mixer is a Peavey PV6. Probably its worst two shortcomings are the inability to run from batteries (I have not actually tried the car battery trick) and it uses knobs instead of slide faders for each sound channel. I have the analog mixer because my Mac has a very good stereo ana...

Re: Advise me for Audio Book & ScreenCasting Narration Video

This is an actual broadcast sound shoot. That's my stand, microphone with shock mount, the blast filter (barely visible) mixer and computer with Audacity. The client said the show went very well and he was pleased with the sound. The microphone is an AKG C 414B XLII. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audaci...

Re: Advise me for Audio Book & ScreenCasting Narration Video

If you use a stereo mixer, then when you plug an XLR microphone in, you usually have the ability to "fade" the sound anywhere from the left through the middle and to the right. If you plug in two microphones, whether they match or not, you can assign one microphone to the left and the othe...

Re: unable to open target file for writing

I am no closer to exporting my files to mp3. Can you File > Export to a WAV on the Desktop? MP3 involves export packages and is needlessly complex for troubleshooting. See if the WAV export works. If it does, the desperation method is create your MP3 in iTunes while we figure this out. Are you the ...
