Got it.

I found the project folder in my backup drive Project folder.

I can’t really guess why at the moment.

Weird, but I’m breathing more regularly now.

Hello Mason and a belated welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Brian has given you some excellent information.

I will ad this. If you know what you’re doing, you can put audio into a Canon 5d Mkiii and have it sound OK.

Your Samson mics sensitivity and noise ratings (below) may prove hissier than you want.

-40 dBV/pa (10mv/pa) 200Ω
22 dB (A weighted IEC/DIN 651)

I have auditioned the Audix SCX-1 HC. It’s OK, but not as good as the best. Didn’t compare it to the Samson.

Hello Tom and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I use the Plantronics .628 USB headset. It’s not like a studio mic, but it is noise canceling and works for me.

I haven’t tried Camtsia yet, but I have tried Call Recorder with SKYPE. It records audio and/or video.

Hello Jade and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I will add to the good information provided by Richard.

In addition to the shotgun mic, you should also consider a good hyper or supercardioid.
Cheap shotguns, hypers and supers will cheapen your sound.

Film making these days requires much more than the pieces to which you refer. Here’s a tutorial I shot some years back that may help you.

A good mixer (person) may need to change the level of a mic subtly or drastically during a take. The gear to which you refer has iffy abilities in that regard.

It takes a lot of expertise to make it look so easy and sound so good.

The best sound never draws attention to itself.

Please DO jump in with both feet and have at it. Stop by anytime to let us know how it’s going.

Hard to say. Every SKYPE call we do sounds different. Some are quite good (for phone audio) others are pretty nasty.

I don’t know if having a Neumann front end would help you going into a iPhone. During the phone conversation, I’m guessing the bandwidth limiting of the connection would compromise and quality that a studio mic might provide. I find a Plantronics .628 USB headphone and mic work pretty well but it doesn’t sound like a studio mic.

Hello Chris and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Sounds like you have an incompatible mic to transmitter problem.

Some mics a two wire mics. Some are three wire mics.

If you could suss out any discrepancies there, you might find an answer.

(You’re right about the outer stuff you said.

Hello Bruce and Welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Sad to say, land lines are not always better than cell phones. I’ve been producing a half hour radio interview program for four years and while hard land line USUALLY sounds best, it doesn’t always.

Some land lines are really fiber optic bundles and have undergone significant data compression.

We record the conversations over SKYPE at the highest level possible with Call Recorder. The files are sent to me for editing mixing and NR. I rely HEAVILY on RX3 noise reduction as well as EQ, compression and limiting to make the person on the other end of the phone sound as good as possible. Sometimes it’s stunningly OK, other times it’s a PITA.

Try to have the luxury of time to try a different phone or simply a different call back on the same phone to try and chance your way into a better connection.

Dear Andrew welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I’m sorry for the excess acid in your stomach.

Let’s see what we can do. Is you final audio an mp3?

How bad is the sync problem? Is everything out of sync or do you just need one push or pull to make things work again?

Hmm,

I’m thinking, “broken.”

Maybe a badd connector or solder joint.
