Good old splicer
My first audio book, second edition "The DOS Tape" was recorded on an old Revox at (I think) 15 1/2 IPS. This gave a LOT more working space to cut out bad takes. Much better than 7 1/2 for the first edition.
I still have my metal splicing block, just for grins.
Later I...
Got this from a Goodwill online auction. At a loss to figure out what it does. Bluetooth in? USB? RCA loop outs?
Been searching online and can find nothing!
Just got it and it is obviously an MP3 recorder. But it looks for a specific folder named ????? before it can record to it and...
Hollywood actors, well known ones, often do VO work without IDing themselves. A: They are good at what they do. B: People may not recognise them, but the voice sounds familiar, C: It's not real hard work. D: Ad agencies tell a potential client they can use (famous name) versus no name voice...
I've got the master level and trim at 100%. The file WAV is transfered via USB or card reader. I can increase the volume 10DB in Audition, but it seems like I am missing some step with the unit. The same mic works fine with another digital recorder.
While I know my way around basic recording for radio, etc. I have never messed with devices used mostly by music people. So I am putting this in the newbie area, as in this case that is me.
I found a nice, working black Fostex MR 8 with a 1 GB card, bag, etc. for less than 40 bucks and said...
I was going to try to be funny and say I prefer making money with my voice over working for a living.
But any time you hear a recorded voice on anything, some recorded it and (hopefully) was paid to do it.
I missed this whole "baking tape thing" but I DO have a 1979 Mr. Coffee NON-ELECTRIC! Basically a plastic tub over a plastic pot. Paper filter and grounds go in, a disc seals then down and you pour the coffee in the tub! Same awful white plastic with the flower design. Makes great coffee.
What kind of environment will you record in? A "studio" mic generally needs a studio with sound treatments. If you are working out of your house, you may need something totally different.
We have a big 2 car garage and one car. I do vocal (spoken word) audio only and was thinking of partitioning off on corner for my simple setup. But then I was at Home Depot and spotted a snap/bolt together resin shed, pretty good size, for $500 with a door, vents, etc. I am considering placing...
Here's why the right to repair may hit a snag: a ton of formerly well-known brands are now "zombies."
Someone bought the name and slaps it on low-end Asian imports with NO repair facilities or spare parts. If something breaks, they give you the runaround, asking for photos or even video of...
"The client says the video actually is more important, while the performers want an audio recording as their main aim.."
Which one is paying you? Both?
You do the job the paying client wanted: video. If both, you have a problem.
Short answer is yes, you can record on tablets. Long answer needs to know what software you can live with.
I've recorded audio on a 10 year old iPod Touch with Twisted Wave and an adapter that lets me use powered and non-powered XLR mics.
I've recorded on an Amazon Fire with a USB adapter and...
This is an odd idea. I've considered putting in a small (voice, not music) recording setup in my 2 car garage and am looking at these small storage sheds you see outside Home Depot, etc. Any thoughts?
Unless you have a "pro" Sony unit, the digital route may be a problem due to their insane copy protection schemes. You may have to go the analog patch cord method.
