Re: recording my voice
I think that your first priority should be to determine what you are going to use this microphone for, that is to say if you are going to use this microphone for in studio production voiceover work it might not be the exact microphone that you should be looking for. According to the specs it is an excellent microphone for music and live concert work. The bottom line here is that electrovoice makes a number of microphones for various applications, and is widely used by broadcasters world wide. They are a little pricey, but that is to be expected for a professional microphone. There are less expensive microphones for home use that can do a fairly good job as well. - Original Message - From: Steve Matzura [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 3:58 AM Subject: Re: recording my voice Hi, Ray: On Sun, 3 Feb 2008 03:20:43 -, you wrote: Very good mic, and I believe Paul McCartney is a fan of it.

Re: recording my voice
CBC - Radio Canada Selects Gefell M930 for On-Air Broadcasting Vancouver BC: Recently, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation in Montreal went through an extensive series of tests in search of a new standard on-air broadcast microphone for both the French and English language radio stations. The Gefell M930 compact cardioid mic was selected. According to CBC Montreal Radio Operations Manager, Gaston Robitaille: We recently redesigned many of our studios to create a 'round table' format whereby often times, as many as 6 microphones are on at a given time. As such, we needed to find a mic that could transfer the natural characteristic of an individual's voice while providing sufficient pattern control to eliminate bleed from one commentator's voice going into adjacent mics, a problem we were experiencing with our old Neumann U87s. Early on, we tested the Gefell M930s and were impressed by the compact size and natural tone. It had that 'Neumann sound' yet also seem to be very uncoloured. Before deciding, we ended up testing over 30 other microphones, going full circle and coming back to the Gefells. The pattern control, compact size and their ability to handle huge transients without distortion made them a natural. We now have over 25 mics in action and are planning to get at least as many more in a near future. The Gefell M930 is a 48V powered compact cardioid condenser with a full 1 diaphragm that features a DC to DC optical power bridge that provides 80 volts to the capsule while reducing self noise to a mere 7dBA. The compact size coupled with the triangulated pedestal eliminates body refractions and comb-filtering to produce a more stable and controlled polar pattern. The large full 1 capsule provides greater sensitivity over small capsules, an advantage when trying to capture more detail and personality from a voice. Visit www.gefell-mics.com for Gefell history, product reviews, images and information. - Original Message - From: Bob Seed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 11:49 AM Subject: Re: recording my voice I think that your first priority should be to determine what you are going to use this microphone for, that is to say if you are going to use this microphone for in studio production voiceover work it might not be the exact microphone that you should be looking for.

Re: recording my voice
Audrey, keep in mind that any software program I know of that you choose to record your voice will give you the same audio quality. The difference in the price of these programs relates to the features they have and not the audio quality of the recordings. The $250 Sound Forge and the $40 Gold Wave will both produce recordings of the same quality. The secret is in your Sound Card but whatever you happen to have will probably produce recordings so good that most no-one could hear the difference between it and one that costs several hundreds of dollars.

Audrey, unless things have changed, you can only record a couple of minutes of audio with sound recorder, so if you have a lengthy project, you have to keep appending to the end of the recording. the main thing is to have a program that is efficient to save you time.

High Dan, That's not necessarily true about Sound Recorder. I have recordings of my voice that I made with Sound recorder in 32 bit stereo 104 Hz. And it is CD quality too! There is a type of setting that you have to set it up for in order to get that. I don't remember how I done it at this time, but I will play with it and get back to the list with how I done it.

Re: recording my voice
Ah ok, maybe I never was able to find that setting wherever it was lol On 21-Jan-08, at 4:38 PM, DJ DOCTOR P wrote: High Dan, That's not necessarily true about Sound Recorder. I have recordings of my voice that I made with Sound recorder in 32 bit stereo 104 Hz. And it is CD quality too! There is a type of setting that you have to set it up for in order to get that. I don't remember how I done it at this time, but I will play with it and get back to the list with how I done it. My best regards to you all!

So I'd get GoldWave, SoundForge, or one of those.

The difference in the price of these programs relates to the features they have and not the audio quality of the recordings. The $250 Sound Forge and the $40 Gold Wave will both produce recordings of the same quality. The secret is in your Sound Card but whatever you happen to have will probably produce recordings so good that most no-one could hear the difference between it and one that costs several hundreds of dollars.

Re: recording my voice
Hi, if you're looking for something simple, and cheep, to just record raw voice files with, Gold Wave is a very good solution. You can get it from http://www.goldwave.com. hth On 20-Jan-08, at 9:29 AM, Audrey Levine wrote: Hi everyone, I am new to the list, but I'm learning a lot.

Re: recording my voice
There are many programs that will do this. First, I am guessing that you already have a microphone? Then the programs: audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net GoldWave http://www.goldwave.com RecordPad sound recorder http://www.nch.com.au WavePad http://www.nch.com.au or windows sound recorder in start menu, then programs, then accessories, then entertainment, then sound recorder.

Re: recording my voice
Hello Audrey, There is a peace of software that comes with windows that will do this for you. It is called, Sound Recorder. It is in your start menu in the entertainment section. Just hit your windows key. If you are a JAWS user, you will hear JAWS say, start menu programs update. Hit the letter P, you will hear Jaws say, program submenu. Hit the letter A for accessories, then e for entertainment. If your OS is XP home, Jaws will say, Sound Recorder, S. Hit inter on it and it will open that software. Make sure the mike in on your sound card is engaged. Do a control+r and it will start recording your voice. I really hopes this helps you a whole bunch. My best regards.

Re: recording my voice
that's a little like asking how long is a piece of string I suppose, but you need to take into consideration what you want from the software. do you need multitrack capabilities? do you want midi capabilities as well? there's many and varied possibilities. cubass and sonar imho are great but I do also use cool edit for when I simply want to put together voiceovers and audio grabs. hth shaun.
