mine was done with a headset, btw, so there isn't really
that much noise in my room. I considered playing some synth
for you because mine got so boring, but that would be
"cheating."

I'm sorry but I hardly find the sound of my PC's fan,
juxtaposed with the audio duplication of me scratching my
genital area, suitable matter for converting to the MP3
format!

hahaha! on the contrary, dear sir! it is highly suitable!

uzim: I think I could ALMOST hear you breathing (headset
-10db volume), but I think it was just some crap on the
recording.. either that or you have 1: a really good mic 2:
heavy breathing.

aw, there's got to be more people with microphones on here..
or at least a headset (plug it in the mic-in, and it will
magically transform into a microphone (well, you can record
with it anyway))!

neat topic! here's my humble contribution. it might sound
like everything is really exaggerated but it's actually my
microphone (a röde, geeky audio buffs) that's kinda
sensitive and i cranked the recording input up to 11. but
i'll admit that the burp was slightly forced... pardon.

are you washing your hands or something in the beginning?

my second recording.. I tried making some more "action," and
played on the synth, but then I found something nice and I
made a track instead.. Your room

more action happening. the cd was skipping in my room.

speaking of consuming alcohol, here's a clip of my neighbour having a party at 2 a.m. a .... the guy who
lives next to me is the one trying to be some sort of dj/mc
and the noise is me trying to shut them up. it didn't work.

I have a cheap 10ish dollar microphone. It always has a fair
ammount of white noise in the background of recordings.
Anyone know if the microphone itself is likely at fault, and
if so what's a fairly cheap model with very little white
noise?

Generally, cheap microphones have a tenancy to add sound to
anything you record. I think it has something to do with
both the signal to noise ratio and its frequency response.
Its a bit long winded to describe, but if you look into one
of these - only $60 american (american dollars and Tuvalian
dollars are on par, right) - you should get a very good
recording. I haven't used one myself, but have heard very
good things.

Delta Electet

I use one of these.

On paper they are practically the same microphone, although
the frequency responce isn't as good with the sony.

Thanks for the help. I'll search for these used on ebay as
my computer is a very fragile ecosystem where it's not worth
the extra money for new when there's only a 50 percent
chance it'll work anyway. My computer hums adding to the
white noise, but I could maybe have enough tech
saviness to fashion some sort of long, "chord" in techy
terms, away from it.

I see. Might I suggest maybe insolating it in styrophome,
allowing space for the on switch, disc drives and the rear
part?

Also, if you were to go to a radio shack or a dollar store,
it would probly cost you around $10 to find or fashion a
cord longer than 15 feet.
