Also, obviously you've heard Daniel & other podcaster types really singing the 
prayses of this mic. It really is a great mic. You shouldn't need XLR 
connection unless you're running the mic through a mixer, the VeriCorder XLR 
addaptor for iDevices, etc.

  Hi Sean
  Your USB have two cables: USB and xlr. Isn't it? I'm about to buy it because 
it very cheap, but never heard about xlr cable, so dare not to buy.
  Thanks

    Also Ron:
    Consider your mic when you're setting your audio levels. A Condenser mic, 
the type found in most computers, USB mics, etc. In my opinion need to have its 
audio set much louder than a  dynamic mic, tipicaly found in studio setups as 
you're tipically right up in a dynamic mic. Also, condenser mics will much more 
pic up background, around you noise than a dynamic mic will. So, you need to 
make sure that a condensers mic audio is set louder to drag your voice out of 
the around you, background noise. So, being right up in a dynamic mic will keep 
out background, around you noise. & you can set your audio levels a bit lower 
so that your voice doesn't overdrive the mic & clip the audio. For voice 
recording, I currently use an Audio Technica ATR-2100 mic. This mic is both a 
USB mic & an XLR mic. However, this unlike most tipical USB mics is a Dynamic 
mic. I like this mic for the fact that I can both use directly in to my 
computer as well as directly in to my mixer. I also like this mic as I can use 
using the camera kit directly connected with my iPad. Hope that this helps & 
wasn't either off topic for this list or over technical for this list.

      Ron:
      As pointed out here. This is a good podcasd, it may be a good idea to try 
to go back through some of Daniels content here & find some of his eps where he 
discusses audacity indepth.

          Hi All.

          Once I've recorded something I always do a "normalise" to try to make 
the volume sound as normal as possible.

          Recently I have recorded  something where the volume is over all far 
too high.  Would a normalise actually fix this, or is there a way I can 
decrease the volume say by 5-10%.  My aim is to make all recordings the same 
level as, mp3 music or sound.

          Any help would be appreciated.

          Ron
