Re: Audacity and Skype

I looked up Pamela, and it says the recorder is about 20 dollars.
Pamela Business and Professional only. Basic and Call Recorder only run for a short time and are leaders for the other two products.

Re: Setting gain while using a UCA-202?

The UCA202 has no provision to change volume, software or not. It takes a "standard" HiFi level and converts it into a USB bitstream very well, and is excellent for the price. There is a version of this unit that has a volume control and I'm looking for it. It's almost three times more exp...

Re: Sound Card Reviews

We're using the StarTech mostly for the audio output -- to drive headphones or, in one case a small sound system. Size was an attraction. The sound system in and out (both line level and stereo) jobs are being taken by the UCA-202. Nobody on the sixth floor could keep the built-in sound cards runnin...

Re: Taming the Wild Voice Recording

I left with the impression that the whole process needs to be crammed into a cigarette-pack size room. That's only at the microphone end of the system. At the other end of the process, after the stereo transmission line is a projection booth with two 6-foot tall racks and I can do almost anything I ...

Re: Cleaning up low quality speech for iPod FM x'mitter

Not just the sound quality, but the technical quality of the MP3 files is pretty bad -- if that one is a representation. The show has multiple different damages. I tried a several first-level patches and all I can do is make different damage -- and, of course, I can make it worse. It's possible that...

Re: File has wav extension but Audacity says otherwise

QuickTime is an Apple product. You can get QuickTime for Windows and it will allow Windows to play non-Microsoft audio and video files. Windows Media is the "official" Windows player, but it has a blind spot where Apple is concerned. I believe both Windows and Apple now have "Preview&...
