Can anyone recommend a microphone / audio setup for recording audio books? I'd like to record some and I want to avoid the quality problems some Librivox recordings have.
Actually, more important: is there an app that makes recording audio books easier? Like, can I record in one shot, and mark places I want to cut out so I can just re-speak one passage, and later on it'll automatically be cut together like I want? I could probably jury-rig some keyboard-based app to do it...
- themodelplumber 5y agoI did some podcasts using a Blue Yeti and it sounded great as long as the knobs and switches on the mic were properly configured. Afterwards I used Audacity for noise removal, some EQ for things like bass roll-off, and TAP Scaling Limiter for adjusting levels. It was helpful to compare to other podcasts on the same speakers or headphones. Doing the same today I would probably give Ocenaudio a shot, as I like it so far. Good luck. Edit: Yes, apps that allow you to mark and quickly edit are common.
- aasasd 5y agoYoutube is likely full of advice on this topic. With live examples.
