    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

    I have used Wikipedia in the past for other info on songs, such as track listing of an album, etc, but never scrolled down far enough to read the info on cover artists. Wasn't looking for it at the time... But thanks for the tip. One problem I am finding with most cover performances is that they...

    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

    Well, it is very difficult to pass on the Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD for $60. I don't need MIDI, nor do I ever expect to. As far as USB power, I think my mobo has enough capacity. I will be using headphones mostly, and maybe connect my stereo receiver line-inputs to the line-out on the AI. I...

    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?

    Thanks for the link. I started using Media Monkey last night but did not go so far as to purchase it (purchase req'd to sync w phone). I will try Winamp first. Maybe if i can get the phone app to cross fade the way i want i wont need to create my own mixes. As fun as it can be, i dont enjoy...

    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 made a few changes to my sound system, and so far am quite pleased. I didn't spend a dime (well, at least not on equipment). I replaced the ear cushions on my Sony MDR-V600 phones, and compared to my Sennheiser HD-497, the Sony wins hands down. Besides that, I wired my Onkyo TX-SV313PRO...

    When is MP3 loss detectable?

    Thanks Dave; The UR22MKII got mostly great reviews, but I always look at the bad before I look at the good. I'm just looking for possible issues that I might run into. Actually, USB 2.0 would work for me, since I can use either my receiver or a pre-amp that I have to get more power to the...

    When is MP3 loss detectable?

    I found the UR22MKII on amazon for $122.39, but some of the reviews reveal that it has problems interfacing with some PC's, causing audio dropouts. I really don't want to spend $100+ and then have to struggle with the drivers, or make a lot of changes to the way my PC runs, since everything is...

    When is MP3 loss detectable?

    Well, I tried connecting the coaxial S/PDIF jack on my PC to the receiver's coaxial digital input, but I was not able to get any output. The problem I think is that the receiver does not receive S/PDIF signal. According to its manual, it will read Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM, but the software...
