Quality?
 
Do any of you know ways to improve your quality? (w/o buying a new mic, etc.)
I've heard someone say there are a few little things you can tweak on Audacity to improve your quality.

So if you guys know anything or have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks.

equalize and limit

T lite 11-21-07 06:04 PM

If anybody uses mixcraft too, your opinions are welcome as well.

T lite 11-21-07 08:27 PM

Hey does anyone know if a mic for my karoake machine will work to record on my laptop. I know the cord input thing is too big...but I can get some sort of adapter to get a smaller one right?

I don't really know what the crap is called, so I might not be making any sense? But if you understand what I'm tryna say, holla back ha!

WhoAmI 11-21-07 08:33 PM

ok am i right in assuming your kareoke mic uses a 1/4 inch jack?

thas cool if you buy the lil convertor thing

but are you recording through your pc's factory sound card or an audio interface?

American Tiger 11-21-07 08:35 PM

Well. It depends. What program do you record with?

T lite 11-21-07 08:48 PM

Dammit so many questions... so few answers I actually know lol.
  • Um, I'm gonna say it does... I'm not really sure. It's one of the bigger ones... Like bigger than what would fit in a typical computer.
  • What little converter thang? Like what exactly is it called... a plug adapter?
  • Factory sound card I guess? Idk... right now I record through plugging my headset/mic in the side plug-in on my laptop...
  • Right now, I am recording with Mixcraft and Audacity. I lost everything when my laptop had to be completely reset.. so these are what I have right now.


thanks for all your help guys.

Dark--the big one in this pic is the size of my karoake one.


American Tiger 11-21-07 09:19 PM

well fella.....you do need real equipment.
For free I suggest Cool Edit 2.0 for software on a PC Base.
Mac Base- I use Garage Band and it works fine.

You need a Phantom Powered mic. Not that junky lookin thing u got up above me.
And with the mic.....your gonna need a amp to power it.

Or......you can go old school like i did and get decent quality.
Grab one of em ps2 mic's that u got with socom navy seal and plug it into ur labtop.
type ya lyrics on the screen an spit em thru the headset while u record.
its pretty effective cus the mic level stays the same when ur hands free and its attached to your head. It aint pretty.....but we dont get to see what u look like when u record ne ways.

T lite 11-21-07 09:27 PM

Not a fella.
I don't have that mic, I was showing Dark the size that the karoake mic I have is.
I've had Cool Edit, and I don't like it that much. Mixcraft works just as well in my opinion.

But I just need the info on what I need to make the mic I have fit for my laptop, because if I don't have to spend the money to get a new one then I definitely won't lol. What I use now gives me somewhat decent quality, but I'd like to upgrade at least a little bit, and I'll be happy.

American Tiger 11-21-07 10:04 PM

Well if you want to "in my opinion" yourself into bad quality feel free. what are u a chick? If so I wont even attempt to argue you you into decent quality. Bitches neva listen. Ya know?

T lite 11-21-07 10:08 PM

No, I don't know.

No I said this doesn't have to do with the program I am using, I need a new mic and I am asking what the hell the thing is called that I need so the mic I have will fit into my laptop, and if I use the new mic and see no quality improvement, then I am going to go buy a new one.

American Tiger 11-21-07 10:10 PM

O shit its a bitch. Neva mind there cupcake. U asked a question, I answered it.

T lite 11-21-07 10:11 PM

Good call.

And actually no, my question was what in the hell do you call the thing I need to be able to get the plug-in to fit in my laptop.

American Tiger 11-21-07 10:26 PM

Yuhp, me too.

I don't really care about beefing, although the previous may make it look like that haha.

I just like to get shit popping.

:D

American Tiger 11-21-07 11:22 PM

Good. well. I aint soft like em pop-tarts so keep eatin my cheerio's. I will check in within aloted time due to the restrictions of turkey day and all that good football.

T lite 11-21-07 11:23 PM

LOL. Nah, I'm not a big fan of eating breakfast. Sorry :( Pop tarts are more of an all-day type treat, haha.

Mhm mhm.

American Tiger 11-21-07 11:37 PM

I must warn you though. Audio Battles tend to sweep away in obscurity here......it'll get like 2 votes and then just die out. and thats just cus audio heads wanna see if I'm ne differant than I was before back in the day. U'll see like 50 or so views and no votes. and that means.....I won but they aint givin me the simple sweet satisfaction of summin that I already clearly know. so U'll put sum effort.....I'll use none...I'll be up 2-0 till about 2009 when strobe runs outta money to keep this site runnin. Just a lil heads up. I am callin it tho.


O yeh.
and just so u know.......people that dont battle audio. aka no audio records.....do not vote on my battles. I dont allow for that petty FrontLine transition that you newbies like to refer to as "vote on my battle I'll vote on urs" shit. I dont care if u put honestly at the end of it either.....cus it neva eva is ;)

T lite 11-21-07 11:47 PM

LMAO.


And newbie haha, youngun I been here since 2003.....so stop talkin' NEWB! ;)


I just so happen to have a life as well.
