You may be able to use a USB headset as well, but that may not mix very well with game sound. Jury's out.

As above, it's not the sensitivity of the microphone but the directionality and/or positioning. A good headset microphone is terrific because it automatically follows you around and is far closer to you than it is to the fan noise. Directional microphones are good here, too. If you get a good one, y...

Just don't call them Apple products. He hates those.

There is one consideration about the Peavey that's not immediately obvious. The analog Peavey with a UCA-202 gives you a way to perform "perfect overdubbing" by giving you a place to plug your headphones. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo.jpg I don't know that you c...

So how does one decoder manage to keep the original duration? It's broken. Oddly, this is a classic maintenance problem. I didn't recognize it until you did the exhaustive analysis.

If that doesn't work, change an Audacity setting: Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] Playthrough. 2) Audacity doesn't have scrubbing like some other sound programs so you can't...

That's one problem, another problem is recording your voice and recording sounds playing on the computer tend to be two different control panel settings, and they don't mix. Do you know somebody who's doing it this way? Koz

Maybe the errors ffmpeg reports while converting the mp4 into WAV are a clue to the cause here: So FFMpeg is complaining there is something seriously wrong. This is not a graceful conversion. Since this seems to be one unresolved spaghetti pathway after another, I want to back up a step. Where, exa...
