i've been using Audacity and other free programs to try and get speech from an audio recording i've legally taken ( my state is a one party record state) from my bedroom. i can make out some of the words but most of it i can`t understand.

Hi All,

Have 29 sec audio need to know what is being said. Total novice. Use the Donnin and it makes it understandable. But not by everyone. Any takers? Email-stuckwithcheater@gmail.com

I've cleaned up hundreds of hours of tape recordings, admittedly the easy stuff like humm, clicks, airplanes overhead, etc. So I'm still a totally nube, but I don't even know exactly what it's called when it's like the microphone is too close to their mouth and there is a reverb harshness to each word.

Good day

Hi all, I am new around here.
First a quick who am I.
I work for a local radio station in Queensland Australia, I am the Drive producer. I have always worked in sound somehow or another, growing up I taught guitar at the local music store.

My question is, I am fairly new to recording sound outdoors, and wind is becoming a real pain in the backside.

Hi guys,

I'm stepping into voice-over work and am considering options for recording at home. I already have a Shure PG58, but when testing with Garageband it doesn't sound too good. It's connected directly to my macbook via XLR female / standard jack male cable (quite long), then thru a 3.5mm adapter to the microphone line-in input.

A few issues:

Today, I gave an instructional speech for beginners on the basics of mixing professional audio for a record release. I've uploaded the reference materials in a zip file and posted them to DropBox.

i'm amateur software developer, and i'm writing a program that will "read" given text. i record phonemes, one-by-one, but because i don't record them in studio (actually i'm recording them at home, with sh*tty microphone), every .wav file has different amplitude, frequency, etc, and after gluing, it sounds terrible. what can i do?

I am going to be doing some mic testing shortly. I joked in another thread that it would only be on guitars, as there is not a mic in the world that could flatter my singing voice enough to tell if it was any good.
