Need Tutorial for Simple Voice Recording

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited me to submit a statement along with a MP3 audio file. I asked a question on another forum about software that can be used to make MP3 files on a Leopard platform, and I was told to use GarageBand.
I viewed the video tutorial for Podcasts and also checked out another Apple tutorial, but they don't go very far. In contrast, GarageBand 3: Getting Started is overwhelming.
I would like to start by making a very simple audio - nothing more than a two-minute recording of my voice, with no overlaid music, no images, loops or other enhancements.
Can anyone list the steps I need to follow, from recording my speech to converting it to an MP3 file?
I've cliked the Male track, recorded my voice, stopped the recording (though probably incorrectly), then double-clicked on the file to play it back, but nothing happens.
Thanks.

It's very easy:
• Create a "real instrument" track and select a voice preset or no effects at all.
• Hit "record" to record your voice, hit the record button again or the stop button to stop recording.
• Move the playhead to the appropriate position for playback.
• If you like your recording, select "Share to iTunes" from the menu and select compression with MP3.

  • Audio Input Frustrations for simple voice recording.

    I have been trying to make some simple podcasts using garage band, but have had difficulty with audio input. Internal microphone picks up a lot of the ambient noise in the room, and attempts at activating line-in audio have failed. I have gone to system preferences and changed the setting, under "sound">>"Input" to audio line-in port. I have plugged the jack in to the slot next to the headphone. The audio audio line-in input level registers nothing!
    Is there a way for me to test the port, or is there some other setting that needs to be changed in order to get input other than from the internal microphone.

    Hi there:
    I'm not sure what other microphone options exist with that configuration,
    but some users of Macs have gotten a USB device called the iMic from
    Griffin Technologies and that allows in and out audio, including stereo.
    Good luck in this matter, and happy computing!

  • Simple voice recorder/save for curve 8320?

    Can anyone recommend a simple voice recorder for the curve 8320 where I can record voice notes and save them directly to my phone instead of emailing/mms'n them using the built in send voice note feature on the phone?  I have tried using handango and their software sucks, stuff doesn't work and I tried the vr+ voice recorder program they have and don't like it, I just want something simple.
    Does it exist?

    soon, a Handheld OS version 4.5 will be available for your carrier (if you're at AT&T it already is). Inside it there will be a video mode : you'll be able to take pictures like today, and also 3GP videos.
    If you want, you can install it from AT&T and delete the vendor.xml file on your PC before launching the Desktop Manager to upload the OS on your Blackberry.
    Apart from that, I can't install applications on my Blackberry so I lag a bit about available wonders other people can install on their Curve.

  • Simple voice recording into itunes

    How can I record my own speech using itunes please? or point me to a previous thread?
    Can anyone suggest a not so expensive microphone which can reduce background noise? I see the ones in the mac store. Are they any good?
    Thanks

    This link is specifically about creating a podcast, but it talks about voice recording in GarageBand. Check out this link:

    And if you have iLife, you should have GarageBand.

  • How can I make a simple voice recording with no instrumentals?

    I just want to record a song or two, save them individually and then burn to a cd.  I don't need all of Garageband whistles and bells.  I'm intimidated at the new 'event/project' start menu.  I don't want to select a key or timing.  I just want to sing the song using the mic on my iMac. This is not going to be posted for the general public and I don't want or need fancy.  Suggestions? Guidance?
    I mistakenly posted this first to the podcasts site.

    there's nothing to fear there, pick "Acoustic Instrument" for a simple "no bells" recording track

    then don't.
    if you don't intend to use any of GB's tools, then the key and tempo don't matter

  • Does anybody know any recorder application for streaming voice recorder for vocal talkbacks?

    Dear all,
    I am urgently looking for any software application recorder
    to implement in a Web portal for recording streaming voice
    talkbacks. I need both the product and its API / configuration
    required in order to implement and integrate it into Web based
    portal.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi and welcome to the forums yogadad!
    A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101     Tips & Tricks
    Sounds like you need to reload the OS on your device.
    Get a good backup of your device: BB device backup (I keep all my backups in a separate folder created for that purpose so they are always in one place and easy to find.)
    2. Download the most recent version of device software for your carrier: Downloading BB device software
    3. Reinstall the device software: Clean reload of device software
    4. Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart.
    5. Once you have the device OS successfully installed you will then need to reinstall any 3rd party apps you currently have on your device: Install applications using the app loader tool
    6. Complete another battery pull routine after each 3rd party app installation to reclaim memory and refresh your BB.
    Let us know how your are doing and if you have any questions/issues; search in the forum for your BB model (search box at top right of page) Can't find what you're looking for? Start your own thread. Other users will be there to help.
    Just be sure to keep coming back. Happy to have you here!

  • How do I make a simple voice recording that can be attached to an email?

    I want to record a short message, mp3 or any format is fine, and attach it to an email. I've tried opening Garage Band to do it, and downloaded Audacity, but I have no idea how to use either one. I have a microphone that plugs into the audio port, and know how to switch to "use audio port for sound input" in preferences. But I want a simple command that says "start recording" instead of the complicated control panels I see in the two programs I've looked at.

    dianefromeliot wrote:
    Thanks for the software suggestion - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/Audio-Recorder.shtml - it looks good. Why do you use it instead of Garage Band?
    Had it before GB existed; I use other audio software for other tasks, but this one is probably the most easy to use app (of any kind) I've ever used. Click, speak, click, click. Done, with file sitting on my desktop.

  • Need an high quality voice recording app that does mp3s.

    I need an app for my ipad (can be iphone only app as well) that will, best case scenario, record AIFF allow you to edit and then convert edited file to mp3 and finally allow e-mailing the file. If it only records mp3 and allows editing and subsequent e-mailing, that would be a close second at this point. I have found a ton of apps that record AIFF but don't then support conversion to mp3...anyone have any thoughts?!?!
    Thanks in advance.
    FatherTime

    Record in QuickTime Player, save your recording as a file and drag that into Pages:
    Quicktime > Menu > File > New Audio Recording (control option command n)
    You start and stop the recording by hitting the spacebar.
    Menu > Edit > Trim > drag the ends in
    To remove any silence or unwanted sounds.

  • Audio/Voice Recorder for iPod [video] classic 160 GB Silver 6th Generation?

    Hi, I'm looking for a voice recorder for my iPod, but I'm not sure which ones are compatible with my version, and which one is best.
    i.e. Belkin TuneTalk, Griffin iTalk, etc. (I don't know which one is compatible, and then which one is best.)
    This is the iPod I have:
    Apple iPod classic 160 GB Silver (6th Generation)
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-classic-Silver-Generation/dp/B000JO7RVC
    I've been doing research on the matter, but due to conflicting reports, I am left in ultimate confusion.
    So I thought it would be best to ask the experts.
    Thanks!

    tunetalk & classic: No way.
    I am having endless trouble with Belikin Tunetalk stereo & IPOD classics.
    I've asked Belkin & Apple & had nothing useful.
    background: Been using Belkin tunetalk stereos (2) with 2 Ipod 5G (video) for more than a year. They work ok: [given the well know issues of harddrive noise picked up with internal microphones.]
    Two modes available: "low" 22050 MONO & "high" 44100 Stereo
    Had a ipod die on me, so upgraded to classics.
    Recorded away, got nothing but 44100 MONO. Not supposed to be able to do this mode. & since I was recording TWO channels, I lost data. Belkin site says for classics only with the lastest software".
    I've reflashed the ipods multiple times I one ipod records only mono (BLACK), the other (SILVER) records about 1 in 10 mono. Of course you can't tell till you're done whether you're going to get mono or stereo!
    As iDude80n said about asking experts? Any one know if I go buy TWO MORE ipods, eg nanos, will these things actually work? Will post as separate question.

  • MuVo Voice Recording Qual

    I've been a happy MuVo NX user for over a year, EXCEPT for its voice recording. I use it to record parts I'm supposed to sing with a chorus. When more than a few people are singing, the result is lots of loud static. I don't need a high-quality recording, but I would like to be able to avoid the static. Do any of the more recent MuVo units have a better voice recorder? Thanks.

    I've bought a Muvo TX FM 52 and I'm having the same problem. The buzz/noise is too high. My friend has a different one (also TX FM 52) and the recordings have some noise too but it is acceptable. I'm so disappointed with this function of this player. I installed the new firmware but it didn't help at all. I intend to return it if I cannot resolve the problem.
