How come there is no sound above 100hz? Nobody is performing. The microphone is making that noise. Home microphones have to make it past Marketing, Promotion, and Publicity. Price point is paramount and getting rid of low pitch noise is large and expensive. So they don't. Unless you have a measurem...

I do have a pix. OlympusWS823-TP7.jpg I read somewhere the WS 823 was no longer being made, but I still see sales offerings. Yes, it does have a USB connection in its base. The WS823 will record in perfect quality WAV or two different flavors of MP3. You can put one of those in your pocket and recor...

one voice is quite powerful and the second is quite weak. You should pay attention to that effect. That's what happens when you try to record a chat interview wrong. It's no great shakes recording your own voice as that's a service of your computer, but recording the far side has to battle its way ...

If you're doing everything on one laptop, you may still have conflicts. The "telephone" software may insist on grabbing the sound channels (Skype does this). https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/olympus_TP7.jpg I thought I had a pix of the small sound recorder. That's another option if ...

I use an Olympus TP-7 microphone. It works with anything you hold up to your ear, landline or cellphone. It picks up you via bone conduction and the other side through the straight microphone. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/TP7SoundTest1.mp3 https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/TP7So...

There is one thing you can try that's a little odd. Force your microphone to overload. Keep speaking louder and louder and get closer and closer until the blue waves go all the way up and down. If you can't ever reach the overload point, then that microphone may not be good for you. If you have to s...

Your voice isn't loud enough. When I apply audiobook mastering the noise level is too high. You should be able to clearly see the blue waves as you're announcing, not through some digital tricks later. Waveform dB is a special way to look at the waves and doesn't change the volume. This is another f...

Here's one. This is a home microphone listening to Room Tone—noises without the performer. The graph goes down to 5Hz and the noise is still going. That's one of the two earthquake waves, and no, I don't believe anything in the house is actually making that sound. That's a microphone error. Human he...

What's the difference? Between the two Rumbles or Rumble and Low Rolloff? Low Rolloff is designed to have the smallest possible affect on a voice while still getting rid of common low-pitch noises. Its design was taken from field broadcast and movie shoots who run into wind and other low pitch nois...
