HI JOHN thank's for bringing that site to our attention ,I am trying to record some sounds '''simply'' without the use of computer just using a mike & recorder single track & Its not as easy as it seems i have found out. I have just bought a cheap ''boundary'' mike & it may help as i found ,normal mikes did not record my room as such??? .. THIS site may help me ,but as I have used up my fast download speed up for this month I will have to wait until the start of the next month to be able to d/load video's!!!!!!
thanks john & cheers to all ................barry..

THANKS for that offer brian but it would get a bit of a mission ,,,I only want to record some sample sound of my amp plus backing ,I have a mixer that will take up to 4 mikes & by rights I should have 2x sm58's or similar & place them in front of my amp & another in front of my stereo [bt's] but I don't have them ,,& $$$$$$$$$$ to acquire same.. WHAT I have just bought at jaycar is a ''boundary-mike'' & briefly tried it late last night ,listening with h/phones from mixer & with it sitting on a little table It has plenty of out-put & I think it will suffice with a bit of positioning trial's? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ? brian & john i don't have any computer recording nouse or the nessisary card's etc etc .,,what I do have is a phillips ''cd-recorder'' ,or tape casset recorder, mp3 player-recorder,,, only ,,, with the cd recorder [I have had it for years for copying cd's but it has analog,digital,&optical ''in'' for recording ,& if I go from mike,or mikes??? to mixer then analog out to recorder analog in ,then how to convert to mp3? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ?? ... If you fella's have some suggestions that would be a big help to me but bear in mind I wan't to keep it ''simple'' not computer based .. CHEERS ALL ..............barry..

Just use Google to seach for "wav to MP3" converter - there must be a zillion free ones out there. A lot of people would say Lame was the best, but there are plenty of others that will do the job. Keep the original wav format files though, you'll need those to write a CD and the quality is better than MP3.

Hi Barry, If the room is too lively, can you put some curtains or other heavy material on the walls? Flowers, bunny rabbits any pattern will do ;D Or the old cardboard egg cartons, might need to eat a lot of eggs though...
