6/14/2009 in Tech Arts by micah: We were discussing the PMD660 on Twitter the other day, and I also reviewed this unit on the Geeks and God website. I've decided to post the test recording I made using the internal mics.
The attached file contains totally pointless content. Its only value is to hear how the recorder changed as I...

11/24/2008 in Tech Arts by micah: Tonight's rehearsal of our annual musical drama, A Christmas Tale, was a night of different perspectives. I wasn't really thinking when I snapped this photo with my cell phone, but it fits.
When we started out tonight, neither of my lighting guys were there, so I stuck my teenage daughter on the...

10/30/2007 in Tech Arts by micah: Recent changes to our recording process in "the cave" have made it necessary to record to Audacity in mono.

This short-lived arrangement became very cumbersome until we found a good solution that included...

11/1/2006 in Tech Arts by micah: In the previous article, I explained how to use Audacity to process a recorded sermon to ready it for podcasts and radio broadcast. The resulting WAV file is rather large, and cannot be conveniently stored or streamed, and so it should be converted to MP3 format. The LAME encoder is used to create...

10/31/2006 in Tech Arts by micah: We normally record directly from the sound system onto the computer using Audacity, but there are times when the message must be imported from a CD for processing. Recording the audio portion of the CD introduces an extra conversion (from digital to analog and back again) that is not necessary....

10/31/2006 in Tech Arts by micah: Pastor Tim's sermons are available on the Cornerstone Web site. We now support streaming, download, and podcasts as delivery methods. This page documents the methods used to prepare sermons for the web.
Update October 2007: These instructions are also being used to process the recorded intros and...

10/31/2006 in Tech Arts by micah: Audacity is a free, open-source audio editing tool. I have found it to be very useful for recording, processing and manipulating audio files.
We use Audacity to record our worship services, and then for post-processing Pastor's messages for podcast and radio broadcast. We also use Audacity to...
