My advice: Move your mouth a little further back from the mic. It may help reduce the BUZZing even more.

action9000 · **Reply #41 on:** May 22, 2007, 02:02:53 AM

If you want to keep trying, just play around with settings until you get one that reduces distortion, background noise, and buzzing as much as possible. I personally tend to be a medium distance from the mic, with a medium level on the mic. Some singers like to be nice and close to the mic, but that Only works if you have an incredibly good mic. Otherwise the mic just buzzes, especially with male voices.

Hi guys!

Sorry it's taken me time to get my backside in gear but by a lucky coincidence, my new job told me to take the day off today coz a dinner party function cancelled!

Anywho, I guess I'm happy doing either version. To save the decision making process, Mr Cat on the Fence here will record both versions if that's savvy with you Action? Also, is it ok to record with the music you supplied playing in the background? I dunno if you wanted just the voice section minus the melody. But I suppose either way you can work your music magic on your end regardless

Anywho, I'll get recording them A-SAP and send 'em you ya!

(have earplugs at the ready, my performance might upset the neighbourhood dogs

)

LBTlover - you've a good voice there.

I don't know what you recorded your last three with but they're all muffled and lack clarity. What did you use?

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #44 on:** May 22, 2007, 08:35:22 AM

A highly advanced kareoke machine that I don't know how to use and a microphone that is built into my laptop. Just trying new things. Action9000 can use the one he thinks is best.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #45 on:** May 22, 2007, 08:45:26 AM

OK...finally done. I recorded 3 of each version (and with plenty of mistakes in the process! I did about 16 recording in all coz of missed lines, wrong words, hiccups, cock-ups and general amibent noise and disturbance around me

) Anyway, I'm gonna need people's opinion on the quality of the recording. I had to use the mic on my webcam coz the only other mic I had for some reason generated a stink-load of static before I even started recording. <_< Because the webcam mic is not directional, there might be a little disturbance from ambient sounds (i had to quit one recording coz an ambulance went past my window... sirens BLARING!)
Please ignore the fact that in some recording...at the melody parts were no singing is needed, I do in fact talk to myself. Weird I know but it helps keep me in check...so don't judge!

:^.^:

Anyway, here are my attempts...linked to Yousendit!

Best of Friends - Littlefoot1616_0002 - hit a few peaks in this one about 1/2 way through and sound distorts a little.

Apologies for the size of the files, I couldn't convert the saved files to MP3 because Goldwave couldn't locate an MP3 converter (apparently).

I wouldn't mind doing both versions. I am real sorry for not putting up a recording yet. I still need to buy a Microphone. If I don't get one soon enough I'll notify you 2 weeks in advance.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #47 on:** May 22, 2007, 09:16:25 AM

Oh whoops...and forgot the others too!

Here are the end credit versions I recorded.

Well I'm out of luck. I don't know if my microphone is even a microphone.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #49 on:** May 22, 2007, 06:03:59 PM

God. They're 5 bucks at walmart! Please go get one. Show me a pic of what you think the mic is.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #50 on:** May 22, 2007, 07:23:26 PM

Okay. I did three more recordings. I hope these are better. I just played around with the knobs and buttons some more. I really don't know what I'm doing. What do you think?

Got the latest recordings. I'm really getting a lot of material to listen to so I'll look at them in detail later, when we're closer to the deadline and closer to preparing the final song.

Hahaha, whoops...

I originally had you down, Petrie, as "I misplaced your recording, could you send it again?" Soon after I posted this, I found your recording on my computer so I removed that line from the post however I forgot to put your name in the "I have recordings from..." section. It should be fixed now; LOL.

Coolness! I got em this time. Geez, I really haven't been paying attention, have I LOL. Thank you. B)

Ok, I will have the songs up in a few days. I just wanted to ask if something was ok. Now, I don't see why it wouldn't be ok but I wanted to check just to make absoloutely sure. Plugging headphones into my computer would have been a huge hassle. So here's what I did. I found a way to get your MP3 of the "Bestest Friends "Music on to my I-Pod. So Now you won't have to worry about hearing it. I wanted to check if getting your music on to my I-pod and singing with that would be ok instead of putting your headphones into the computer?

Well Action9000, I plan on giving an updated recording once my schedule is a little more open.

Expect it within about a week.
