About recording...

So I may be wrong at this simple point, but when I wear a headphone should it record just what I say in the microphone? Because when I try, my laptop also record the sounds of the place I'm in (like it was without the headphone). >_>

It is annoying because you hear this annoying sound. REALLY ANNOYING, because when I record I would like to hear my voice. =/

An example of this annoying sound here
Do not download it, just hear it through the link. It will take some time for the download finishes.

Simple and Clean. When I got interested in Chorus, to test Audacity I sang Simple and Clean.

SEE HOW ANNOYING THIS SOUND IS NOW?!
It's seriously annoying when I tried to sing and listen to my voice. :crashcomp:

Anyways, I won't be able to keep with the chorus and either try the Fandub.

Thank you. =]

 

umm, I don't see any link, so I can't see. But are you basically saying that when you record, your also hearing the song even though you're using a mic? Because I might know what you're talking about, since when I used the other headset I would end up with the song a little in my recordings even though it was on something completely unrelated

 

I get the same result with and without it.

EDIT: the link is in the "here".

 

that's weird. Now, I may be dead wrong on this, but what kind of headset do you have? I'm taking a completely wild guess, but maybe it's because you had it loud enough that your mic is catching the music coming out of the sides of your headset. Like I said, I'm probably dead wrong, but it's the best that I've got

 

The one I use is...


"Leadership".

I believe it's a computer option, because it seems like it records both the headset and the sound outside. I couldn't find any options for this though, just something that if I disable, it doesn't record the headset or the outside sound. =/

EDIT: The internal Microphone is the option I refer to.

 

Adjust the angle of your microphone and turn down the volume. Judging from the music volume and quality, you are not recording what is being played, simply picking up that and the noise surrounding.

 

OK, thank you guys. Now I found another thing that can help me with this. The EQ effect.

But can someone explain to me what Frequency (Hz) Gain (dB) and Bandwidth (oct) means for the sound?

Thank you. =]

 

Frequency is how broad of a sound spectrum you can hear. So for example, if something can play sounds from 14Hz-28Hz, you will hear what's within 14Hz - 28Hz, but not outside of that. The broader Hz, the better bass and treble.

Gain, dB, means Decibel, which is what we measure sound in. It's how loud it is.

Bandwidth, the only thing I can possibly imagine that being is how fast it will translate the music, which doesn't make any sense... Also, I would believe oct to be either Octave or Optical coherence tomography, which doesn't really make sense.

 

You were actually describing bandwidth when you were talking about frequency.


In terms of the EQ effect this is the run down.

Frequency (measured in Hertz) is the rate that the sound wave oscillates. So on a higher Hz the "crests" of the sound wave will be closer together. This is perceived as pitch with higher frequencies being higher pitches. The human ear can hear 20Hz to 20kHz as a general rule of thumb. Obviously it depends on the person.

Gain is a change in the intensity of the wave (measured in decibels). This is pretty basic math. If you have a sound with a dB rating of 50 and your gain is -10dB your output will be 40dB for that frequency.

Bandwidth (measured in octaves) is the amount of space you are actually effecting. It wouldn't be very helpful to apply gain to only a specific frequency so this allows you to control how wide of frequency range you are effecting. You chosen gain is the change at the center of that range and it fades out to a gain of 0 at the edges. You generally want this to be as small as you can get it while still being effective.

 

Thank you Mixt! =]

Please, someone lock this; I have enough information to go on.
Again, thank you everyone.
