I see.
Well, I’m looking for a free platform with high audio quality. If the blind
community uses TeamTalk, then I guess the sound quality must be good!
I hope others in the list would chime in regarding this topic! I don’t mind
only recording with one track if my friends’ volume settings are consistent,
but it would be cool to have individual tracks for them!
I’m curious – will it go out of sync if I just align them together?
Anyway, thank you!!!
David

TeamTalk is used widely as a voice chat service for a lot of blind community.
It to has the capability of recording each person in the chat room on its own
separate file. This too is a viable option and without time limit. However, it
may be a little tricky getting set up. This is beyond my expertise, sorry. I do
know that you can set up the room to be either mono or stereo sound. Keep in
mind, though, stereo sound takes up twice the bandwidth both in the broadband
aspect and the file size aspect.

David,
Since there will be three people on the call, your zoom session will be limited
to only 40 minutes. In the recording settings, you can set it to have a
separate recording for each person speaking on the call. This is especially
helpful if you want to put each person’s file into a separate track in
audacity. In other words, you have three files for three people speaking and it
takes up three tracks in audacity so that you may adjust volume for each of the
three tracks.

To add to the question, what do you guys think of TeamTalk? I’ve heard people
mentioning that platform in the past. Is it good?
Thanks!

you could record using zoom but if it is not a paid zoom account you can only
record to people or if you require three people you are limited to 40 minutes.
You could also use Skype and record through there. The only drawback to Skype
is that as a post to zoom you will only have one audio file. Zoom will allow
you to have an audio file for each of the people on the call.

Hi friends!
This is David. Some sighted friends of mine wanted to start a podcast. They
used the Anchor app to record, but a couple of things rendered the results a
bit less than desirable:
1. The person in charge of the recording tells me today that she wouldn't
always want to use her phone for recording, but if she used the website on the
laptop, it could only record for half an hour;
2. She also said that her voice and her friends' voices are not balanced -- she
sounded like she was in a room, while they sounded like they were far away from
her in the recording.
We've talked about using Facebook Messenger, where I record with Audacity, and
they connect using Messenger to talk, but I'm sure there are other high quality
platforms for this to be done.
Note: the friends are in different places. Two of them are in Cincinnati, and
one is in Toledo, which is 3 hours away from Cincy.
Here is where you come in. I would love it if you could suggest better
platforms for my friends to connect with me, either through their phones or
laptops (probably cross-platform apps like Messenger), but with high audio
quality better than Messenger, if possible? Does such a platform exist that's
free and easy to set up?
I could do all the set up and recording if needed, they would just need to call
in and be connected.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
David
