How to you mic a harp for live sound?
403045
Have you thought of a ribbon mic?  The problem with harps is that their sound develops a couple of feet away from the soundboard, so its difficult to keep out bleeding while still getting optimal sound.  Good luck.

Pretty much all recording devices will work as long as you can upload the files onto your computer hard drive.  Audition can open a large variety of formats so you should not be limited.  \n\nI'm not familiar with preamp stuff but it sounds like you want to mix on your computer rather than through a sound board.  Some sound cards (like $250 ones) allow for multiple channels in and out.  They are also 1/4" jacked.  \n\nOtherwise, you can record keyboard and vocals separately.  Then layer them in Audition.  (you'll have to sing with headphones on to isolate your voice from the keyboard) \n\nHave fun.

first connect your mic to sound card (red small connector)\nthen go to :\nstart-all programs-accessories-entertainment-sound recorder\npress record button and talk-then stop-and then play\nsee if your voice has been recorded.(you should have speaker or headphone connected to hear your voice)

It would depend on your skill level to a large degree, but find a TUBE amplifier !\n small tube amplifiers include : \nFender 'Champ' 'Blues Jr' or bigger '59 Bassman' (which need tubes replaced, and just not as great as a vintage), or a 'Deluxe'.\nMarshall amps have incredible tone!\nI use a Trace-Elliot Velocette, which works great with an equalizer.\nGot money to burn and want a great harp amp ?\nSonny Jr. makes a couple of great sounding amps for around $1400.00 . \nMaybe a custom made Holland amp for around the same $$...

You could try what the previous user mentioned, but a better way is this go here:\n\nStart -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Just press the RED button, start talking into the mic, hit stop. Then play what you just recorded. Works like a charm.

Hi seaside,\n\nYou can buy a mic and start recording. After you record a mp3 you can enter it into an enclosure file inside the rss feed and you're done.\n\nThere are other ways for you to create podcasts easily like the Jvw Podcast creator at http://www.jvwinc.com/podcast-creator.php\n\nIt can convert the text into a podcast recording and then also create the RSS feed with the enclosure for you.\n\nYou may also check on various tutorials on podcasting.\n\n\nRegards,\nASHISH T.

You would need a MIDI converter and possibly some software, go to your local music store and ask them for advice.

You can do this in  3 steps.  You might need to experiment to get the audio gain (loudness) right.\n\n1. Connect your cassette recorder's output to mic input of your PC or macintosh.  You might have to buy an adapter that adjusts the "audio gain" to the right level - so signal does not come in too soft or too loud. Since you are sending a slightly amplified signal into that mic jack and mics usually do not put out a lot of power, you don't want to overpower the mic input of your computer.\n\n2. Run a program to capture the audio. Sound Recorder is the name of the one that comes with MS-Windows. If you have a different computer, check your owner's manual.\n\n3. Play the cassette.\n\n4. Save the audio into a file.  If you can save it to MP3 directly, do that.  If you can't, then try saving it to something like WAV or AIFF.\n\n5. If the file is not already in MP3 format now, try getting your MP3 player to load it and try to get it to convert it to MP3.  If you can't get it to do that directly, I can tell you a trick.  Burn it to a blank CD-R, then "rip" (input/encode) it to MP3 audio format. Yes, it wastes a 50 cent CD-R but it should work and is pretty simple to do.  If you do not have a CD burner in your computer, that is a CD drive that reads and writes, then you will have to hunt around the web for a WAV-to-MP3 conversion utility.\n\n6. Now you can just reference the MP3 file from your web page.  An old, MS-IE only way to do that was with the non-standard BGSOUND tag in HTML, or a Netscape-only EMBED tag.  Now it looks like the in way to do it is with the OBJECT tag.\n\n<object data="http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOURFILE.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">\n   You do not have a player for MP3 files defined in your web browser.<br/>\n   Just download this file and then open it:\n   <a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOURFILE.mp3">YOURFILE.mp3</a>\n</object>\n\nYou are going to have to put the correct host name and filename in - YOURSITE and YOURFILE are just placeholders I put in to show you where to do that.\n\nI included some URLs for pages for you to refer to in case I overlooked something.

If you want to record the sound as it is being played you can use a trial version of SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder 1.25 - download from http://www.download.com/SoundTap-Streaming-Audio-Recorder/3000-2168_4-10580128.html?tag=lst-0-5\n\nYou can search for many other recorders on www.download.com - search for RECORD SOUND PLAYED ON COMPUTER \n\nJust be sure to check limitations listed to make sure it doesn't have some nasty things like only 60 seconds of recording while using trial or saved disabled or junk like that. \n\nIt is good for recording audio streams too. \n\nIf you are wanting to have the file "grabbed" and converted you can try doing a search for audio converter followed by the type of file you want to convert and type you want it converted to (ex: audio converter midi to mp3

You need a microphone, an internet connection, etc. I agree that you should visit the about.com site listed above.

Firstly you'd need an Instrumental version of the song(s) you want to sing to. Either official or MIDI file (Midis are basically polyphonic ring tones). Then you'd need to have a microphone connected to a good recording program. Sound Recorder (bundled with Microsoft Windows) is good but only records for 60 seconds at a time. I tend to use Audacity which is great for these kind of things as you can insert the original music you are singing to and pressing the record button plays the music while recording you singing. When you play it back, both the original music and the voice will play. Audacity is spy ware and virus free so no worries about that. If there was then I would be in trouble. The link to download it is below under my sources. Under the plug-ins tab you can also download a free mp3 encoder to export directly to mp3 and share the embarrassment with friends and colleagues ^_^

Use an equalizer and turn down the midrange.\n(you may have heard the phrase "cut the midrange, drop the bass" it refers to this).\n\nPlay around with it...it's not perfect but it can be done.\nAlso, try audacity\nhttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Many ways. The easiest is perhaps dbpoweramp a free software download from dbpoeramp.com. You can also try musicmatch at musicmatch.com.

You can have that done, yes, depending on the gear that the studio has.  At the minimum, most have simple equalization, reverb, delay, compression, chorus, doubling, etc. Fancier ones will have pitch shifting and other more advanced sweetening methods. \n\nOr, if you are cheap, you can sing it dry, and sound like the American Idol tryout competitors.
