The Condenser Mic
9 Feb
For Christmas my brother bought me a Samson C01U Studio Condenser Microphone. That’s basically fancy talk for a high quality microphone I can hookup to my computer:
I always wanted a nice mic but never got around to buying one, and now I realize all the fun things I can do with it.
For example:
- I can speak like I’m on NPR radio and talk like the Saturday morning classical music announcer. Today we’ll be listening to Concierto Number 5 by Beethoven.
- I can even talk like God.
Silly stuff aside, I can record written posts into audio, all in a high quality format. I have some expensive software such as Adobe Sound Booth, but the free and open source program Audacity is by far my favorite and easiest to use so far.
I wrote this post simply to have a script to read from. You can now hear the whole thing here:
(or if that doesn’t work, download here).
lol i love the God voice you used. incidentially your transcript is off “talk like God” in the post. and “talk like I am God” in the sound recording :)
Oh shut up!
haha GREAT! :D I like the ending part : ))
what software did you use to create the audio for this post? Audicity or Adobe?
Technology. This is awesome. Sounds like you’re having fun and enjoying the gift, and most importantly, learning lots of new things and being creative. I would love this gift. I’ve added this link to my favorites so that I can share.
