    Best mic for recording 'sleep talking'

    I have never had any luck with using my phone; the mic may be too small, and/or the phone gets buried in bedding, causing the sound to be muffled. One of the problems is that I keep 'meditation' music playing through speakers next to the bed all night, so talk is more difficult to pick out. That...

    Best mic for recording 'sleep talking'

    The file isn't a problem. I have enough space on my SSD, and Reaper will automatically break up the files into manageable size. From this list of condenser mics on Amazon, which one - $100 or less - would you choose...

    Best mic for recording 'sleep talking'

    I do have a Sony ICD-UX570 voice recorder which I hold in my hand while falling asleep. It works very well when I'm holding it, but it always falls out of my hand onto the bed - or the floor - when I fall asleep. I had a thought about the mic I was looking for: If it's either hanging on a cord...

    Best mic for recording 'sleep talking'

    Too bad you didn't have a timer to start the recording after a few hours. About the microphone: I could suspend it from a hook in the ceiling...

    Best mic for recording 'sleep talking'

    Hey guys; I'm not a pro in any sense of the word, but I do have a good knowledge of analog and digital electronic, A/D, D/A etc. I know that I 'sleep talk' a lot. I wake others up sometimes, but I sleep alone, so that's a good thing. Thing is, I sometimes come up with some pretty creative stuff...

    Mixing same song performed by two artists

    Hi; I have found an interest in creating mixes from different renditions of the same song. The purpose is solely for my own personal enjoyment. I do not distribute (or share) my creations. Most of the time I mix renditions by different artists, but sometimes it's the same artist but slightly...

    Behringer UMC202HD power requirements?

    Hi; I am getting a lot of clipping on the mic/line input of the Behringer UMC202HD. I have read that this is pretty much normal operation for these inexpensive AI. The problems is worst for signals coming into the mic/line inputs (via the "Midas designed" preamps). This unit draws its power...

    Need audio transformer for RS Highball 2 mic

    Hi; I have a pair of RS Highball 2 mics, which do not have the internal transformer to convert to hi-z. They are 600 ohms fixed. I want to use the mic with my Behringer UMC202HD which needs 3K ohms input for line or high-z for instruments. I can use the mic as is, but need to turn the preamp...

    Looking for an inexpensive audio interface

    Hi all; I am not a professional, but enjoy making "radio /dj style" mixes and adding fx to songs I have ripped from cd's or purchased one way or another. I am currently using the on-board sound system on my Windows 7 (also have Win 10 dual boot) system, which is Realtek "High Definition" and...

    How do you catalog mp3 files that are mixes of multiple songs?

    Hi; I am not a professional, but I like to create "radio style" mixes from songs I have on my hard drive (ripped to .wav). I have been using Audacity to create mixes, which are nothing more than the entire songs "cross-faded" into each other so that they play a continuous stream without gaps...

    Good lightweight headphones?

    Hi; I have 2pr of headphones that I use for listening/editing music on my PC. Sennheiser HD-497 weight: 4.8oz Sony MDR-V600: weight 9.6oz I like the Sony better, as they have a much better (clear, crisp) high end, and generally better lows and mids as well. But after wearing the cans for an...

    When is MP3 loss detectable?

    I'm not sure if this belongs here, or in the Computers/Digital recording forum, so please move it if it does not belong here: I am a non-professional, but enjoy listening to my CD's and other purchased music (mostly iTunes) on my PC and my Android phone. I have always used the mp3 format, and...
