Re: choose microphone for art project

Based on that, I think that a Logitech USB Desktop Microphone would be a good candidate (as recommended by Kozikowski) If you look through this thread http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=36432 there are a couple of sound samples. The microphone itself is most likely just a cheap e...

Re: How do I describe this waveform?

Re: choose microphone for art project

How many microphones do you need? Are you intending to process the sound in any way before it gets to the computer, or only in the computer? Do you need low latency? (as low as possible, or just reasonably low?) How sensitive does the microphone need to be? (what sort of sounds are you trying to pic...
