Just noticed you said Shure sm58 was okay .... Just noticed, Richie, that you thought that choice was okay. Good then. I'll go with it. Unless you think something else would be better. Cheers! Joan

You are so right, Richie. I'm off to get the Tylenol as soon as I print this out. One more thing: Oh, dear - should I opt for a condensor mike or a dynamic mike considering I'm in a very small space here. I'll have to put a big board or something between my Mike and the computer. Oh, and...

Greek to me Hey Jimistone: You are clearly far more technologically saavy than I. I have no idea what most of what you said means. But I appreciate your response anyway. I'll keep reading and maybe something will click. Joan

isolating a compute hum Hi NY Morningstar: How do you 'isolate' a computer hum? Also, do I need a single or duel preamp? Thanks. Joan

Preamp Hi, and thanks for your quick reply. Being ultra low-tech, I'm trying to keep things as simple for myself as possible. The preamp suggested is A-Audio DMP3 mic preamp. I'm not sure that that is dual or single. (Does anyone know if they have a deesser? (Canadian $299.00) My new...

Re: Re: When do I need a mic pre-amp? Narrating books/stories - (I've decided after reading a mountain of info on microphones that because my room is small I should use a dynamic mic to cut down on background noise such as the computer hum - will I need a preamp here? I'm thinking of a...

Thanks everyone Will do, guys. Thanks so much again. What would I do without you. Joan

I want to narrate children's stories for audio publishers, so they need to be professionally recorded. I'm extremely low-tech as I've said. Will the recorder on my machine do as well as Cool Edit 2000? It's just that it seems so much easier to learn. Can you edit out flubbed words on the...

That's thilly! j

Yes, I did know how to spell sibilance. But I looked it up, anyway. (Smile.) Thanks so much everyone for your help. Much appreciated. What good ideas. Joan www.joanhallhovey.com I'll have sound bites on that site one of these days.

Thank you. Where do I find that? I know very little about all of this (which is why I'm a newbie) but did download goldwave from goldwave.com yesterday; it's a shareward editing program, and very affordable at $55.00. Canadian

Does anyone have some easy tips to accomplish softening the 's' sounds in voice, particularly a word that ends in 's'. I'm narrating audio books, and I cringe when I hear that. Probably more exaggerated to me than anyone else, but I'd really like to eliminate it if I can. Thank you.

I'm going with the computer software I'm going to upgrade the computer and get the software. I thank all of you very much. That's $1000.00 Canadian, by the way. I don't know if I'll get away with it, but I'll stay as close as I can. By the way, is the editor and cdburner part of the...

Option? I'm very indepted to you for you help. I've written everything down for future reference. Finally, in lieu of the computer route, (and I realize that this is no doubt the best one) what would be the best digital recorder I could purchase for this purpose?

Budget Under $1000. Is that impossible?

My computer - well, read on... I thank you so much for you replies. It is much appreciated. I've written everything down. However, my computer is old -a Pentium 75, so is there an option? Is there one digital recorder you feel would work for me. If I go with working on the computer I will...

Hi all: I am absolutely low-tech, and most of what I'm reading on the boards is Greek to me. However, I am looking for help in deciding on a digital recorder for the job of narrating books from my home. It is only my own voice I am recording. The recorder needs to have editing capability and...
