Hi All I've been subscribed to this list for a short while now, listening in! Is this mentioned Mic suitable for recording with eith Zoom HR2 or IPhone both environmental sounds and voice recordings whilst travelling. I know this sounds weird but I'm travelling for a year around the world nd I'll be recording both environments and interviews on my way! Any other cheap solutions too would be appreciated!

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Paul <mailto:newsandtraffic@xxxxxxx> To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 07:15 Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Recording levels Ron: As pointed out here.

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.
