creating voice packs

[KenG]

IMHO you need a few things to record a voice pack.

1. A very quite place in which to record, the mic that I had recorded the sound of the fans in the computer and retouching in Audacity while
a technique led to inconsistent voice across multiple samples.

2. A good mic. I have a cheap set of Logitech headsets that I can use either on my desktop or my laptop when I am on the road. I wanted a
plug an play for Skype use to save money on cell phone bills; international calls are really expensive. While good for telephone quality I
think if I had a high quality electric mic for my PC plugged into the sound card I could have done better.

3. Windows Vista just seems to be less friendly than Windows XP when it comes to audio. I don't know maybe it is just me but audio
under Vista is not as deep and full spectrum sounding as Windows XP and this may also include recordings as well. I think some of the
bass in my voice did not get recorded. I also had to be very careful when recording anything with an "S" to avoid spikes in the audio.

If I could hook my David Clarks into my home PC I would attempt recording through them as what could be closer to reality then through a
real Aviation Headset mic? But trying to get the impedance right would cause much headache.

Best of luck on recording audio.
