It doesn't matter if the microphone is upside down or not. Both work OK.

I’ve been able to clear enough of the static in the background so you can hear my voice clearly That may be a serious restriction right there. The included interface is likely to be noisy and low volume. Reducing noise and boosting volume can create a honky, wine-glass distortion that the audiobook...

AOKEO OBSIDIAN AK-60.

something dumb (like send file at 48K and not 44.1) They're sticky about that because they convert your work to other formats and they have to have predictable results. Post back with their comments.

In other words, if you walked into a sound studio and did that, you should be able to walk out with a good track. The microphone makers all assure us we can take their microphone home and...

The thread above is the differences between the variations. The sample rate is in the work window lower left. Some of the odd...

WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit is very ordinary and those will play anywhere on all three computer platforms. That's the sound standard for Music CD. Converting MP3 to WAV will give you a very high quality sound file with MP3 compression distortion. That can work for you if you want to edit or use the soun...

One very clear difference between the two clips is fidelity or frequency response. The WAV, clean clip has sound tones out to 13,000 Hz. FM radio goes out to 15,000 Hz, so that one is not in the best shape, but it's sounds OK. Not so the other one. That one stops dead at 4,000 Hz. That's the fidelit...

is not appearing as an output option anywhere. Even the System? Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Sound > Output. These System panels have a volume control in addition to other settings.
