No mic for voice input?

why does it take NO LESS THAN THREE steps to get a new window? EVEN THEN, THERE IS NO MIC FOR VOICE INPUT OR SEARCH! That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen!
The welcome screen sucks, too.

Your Android keyboard should have a mic button on it that you can long press to invoke the microphone for input. If not, you can try switching your keyboard to 'Google voice typing'.

  • Mic for voice comands

    I have tried two different mics on my G5 but both can not be calibrated they are to soft. I cant get any level out of them. I tried the same mics on my G4 laptop same problem. But when i use them on my PC i get good levels. Do macs need special mics? I want to use it for voice comands and skype. Can anyone help? thanks.

    If you have a machine that was built in the past three or four years, chances are you do NOT have a microphone input port.
    Look at the port you are connecting to. Does it have a little picture of a microphone? Or does it have an icon more like a squished variation of ">O<"?
    If the latter, then you are looking at a line-level input port. I can't remember the voltages off-hand, but while line-level audio is typically at 0db on an audio meter, microphones typically operate at about -30db. In other words, the signal coming from your microphone is about one-fifth the strength of what the input port on the computer is expecting.
    I've been looking for an inexpensive mic preamp to fix this problem, but so far I haven't come up with anything.

  • A Mic for voice-over and podcasting

    I have been researching large diaphgram condenser mics for podcasting, some vocals and some acoustic guitar . I am looking for a mic that is quiet, warm as opposed to bright for the voice work. My budget is about 150-250.I will be plugging the mic into a Behringer 1204FX mixer.Here are some that I have looked at (on-line) and some with my comments- the comments are based upon reading reviews as I have not heard any of these-I wish I could.
    AKG Perception 200 - $200 Warm low end
    Audio Technica $99.00
    Audio Technica 3035 - $199
    Rode NT1A -$229 Great mic but is very stark-
    MXL V67i - $149 some issues with quality
    Also, I would like a mic that would reject as much sound as possible after about 4-5 feet directly in front as well of course as from the rear, due to some noise in the room - is that possible, as some mics better at this than others.

    redshift,
    Here's just a brief idea of the difference:
    For a remote broadcast mike, you want a mike that:
    -Picks up the frequency range of the human voice, but not the other frequency ranges;
    -Has a very pronounced Proximity effect (meaning it picks up sound much better close, and not well at all far away);
    -Is Unidirectional (picks up sound well directly in front of it, not well at all behind or to the side).
    On the other hand, a studio mike could be any mike, depending on the application.
    For voice and guitar:
    -You would definitely want a mike with a broader frequency response, for example,to pick up the overtones (the upper harmonics) of the guitar, as well as the resonances of the lower notes.
    -You also want a mike with greater sensitivity to dynamics, and the ability to accurately reproduce the sound of the voice or instrument.

  • Recommend Mic for Voice Over

    I need to do a Voice Over with a customer and wondering about an affordable mic recommendation.
    Or is there a better quality way to record a voice track than a mic hooked up to the audio in port?
    thanks,
    Al

    Al,
    You can use almost any dynamic mic (via the audio-in port on your Mac) or a USB based mic. Of course better quality mics will yield better results. I use a pair of AudioTechnica Pro4A's that I got off eBay. And you can't go wrong with a Shure SM58 which you can get for $89 at B&H PhotoVideo.
    The Blue Mic Snowball USB mic is very popular and often recommended.

  • Earphones with Remote and Mic (for Voice Recorder??)

    Hello, today I find this Earphones with Remote and Mic on Apple store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770
    It will work on iPod touch (2nd generation), so does it mean the voice recorder app (bought from App Store) is going to work on the iPod touch (2nd generation) as well?? Or the Mic is just working for the phone function??
    Anybody know?
    Thanks.
    Raymond

    We were talking about the $29 ones...they seem to be out of stock online (?)..the $79 haven't been released yet....
    here's some real cheap ones on amazon....varying reviews....other options listed as well...

  • Using Mic for Voice Recording - and listening...

    Alright.. I have a MacBook and a Snowball USB mic. The Snowball works a-ok, the only thing is is that I can't hear myself while I'm recording. I can only hear it on playback. This might seem normal to some but I was hoping to have this set up like I'm accustomed to in an actual studio where you can actually hear your own voice through the headphones or even the speakers. I'm also using Garage Band. Anyone have any ideas on how to enable this? Is it just a simple little setting that I'm not noticing?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you're using Garageband then you should be able to hear yourself. Make sure the 'monitor' function is set correctly for the corresponding Garageband track by opening the right-hand panel and choosing it from the proper menu. Garageband also has a great 'Help' section in its top menu.

  • Condenser mic for voice recording - setup advice ??

    Hi All,
    Newbie to GB. Want to setup my condenser mic (3.5mm) to record voice tracks. The condenser mic was purchased with a HD Camcorder and works great for video. Currently the mic works through the "line-in" but at very low level. Done a little research and Hangtime recommends the use of a USB interface.

    (thanks hangtime).
    I'm now looking at the griffin imic as an inexpensive solution. Before I drop my $$ on this guy, is this the best solution. (or will it do the job right??)
    Feedback appreciated.

    My advice would be the same as CD's. If you have a Line-In, for the same price as an iMic you could get a small mixer like the Behringer UB502 Eurorack Mixer for about $38, add a 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor, and you'll have much better control than with the iMic alone.

  • External mic for voice overs

    I am making a small instructional video in Final Cut Express HD and am to the point where I need to add some voice overs. I guess I could use the built-in mic, but would really like to have something a bit better. Any recommendations? Also, would the mic plug into the line-in port or would it be USB? Thanks.

    I've tried a variety of things and ended up doing this--buying a good quality sanyo digital voice recorder and good karoake mic--record the vo seperately--import with itunes--then import to fce timeline and cut\paste
    dialogue exactly where i want--sounds complicated but it gives me precise control over timing with video and other audio files--importing with mac built in mic was tinny and noisy--mic into mac no better as mac fan motor generated low hum--doing it this way i could completely isolate myself from external noise(quiet room)and have added advantage of a small portable recording system--good luck

  • Audio input is gone. What plug/adapter do I need to plug in a rode mic for fcpx voice overs? Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    First time user.... Bare with me.
    My old imac had an audio input and I could simply plug in my rode mic and perform voice overs etc.... Now the new imac has no audio input.
    I gather I need an adapter, but am I really stuck buying the iRig Pro at $219? Will this even work for voice overs in FCPX or is there a much cheaper and cheerful option for this problem that apple could have avoided in the first place...
    Any advice will be welcomed and appreciated.

    Thanks Very much A Brody!
    None of the research I did came up with this option. Really appreciate it.

  • Dv6-LT069av has a input connector for mic or other input devices, to connect a LP player

    Pavillion dv6 has an input connector for mic or other input devices next to headphones connector on left side, to connect a LP player or other device thru the mic connector, what kind of cable is required? I used an RCA to male cord but no input on the notebook. And how to make it record from that mic input connector? Any settings need to be changed in Win7 to make it work? Thanks in advance.

    Get one of these ...
    http://www.amazon.com/Audiovox-Corporation-CRF907-​RCA-Modulator/dp/B0014KKV7W/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_0 
    Connect the RF (Coax) output of the STB to the Coax-in on the modulator
    Connect the Coax-out on the modulator to the TV
    Connect the Video-out and Audio-out RCA jacks on the DVD/VCR to the Video-in and Audio-in on the modulator.
    The STB signal will flow thru the modulator and allow you to watch TV as normal.
    When you turn the DVD/VCR on, the modulator will sense the signal coming from the device and override the signal and inject it onto the coax (converting it to RF first) so that it shows up on the TV instead of the STB output.   When you're done and turn the DVD/VCR off, the signal from the STB will automatically return to the TV.

  • IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

    I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset.  I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature.  Looking for ideas to make this simple

    You can't do anything with that problem.
    Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

  • How do I sample a frequency or voice input using labview in real time?

    This is my first time using labview to sample real-time!  I'm trying to setup a microphone, so that when a voice is spoken to the mic I can sample the frequency, and
    further customize the data in labview. The final goal is to amplify the frequency and output it to a speaker. If possible via labview. My question is do I need some type of evaluation board , microcontroller, to sample the frequencies and save the data sample to labview. Also, how would I go by doing this in real-time, or when the person is speaking to the mic the voice/frequency can be modified in labview instantenaeously. If someone can give me a step-by-step way of performing this, please let me know.
    I currently use Labview 8.2 and 8.5

    There are many LabVIEW shipping examples that are built to acquire sound samples from a microphone attached to a sound card.  There is also an example on how to play a sound file directly to speakers, that you should definitely take a look at.  These examples VIs are found in the Sound folder which is under Hardware Input and Output in the NI Example Finder.  Depending on how advanced your frequency analysis will be, you might want to look into purchasing the Sound and Vibration Toolkit.  For your specific application, it doesn't sound like you will need the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, you should be able to obtain very accurate results without it.  Please view the article linked below for more information on this toolkit.  Thanks!

  • Why MBA (Mid - 2013) doesn't support with Bose Headphones for Audio Input

    I just bought two MBA 11(mid - 2013)  and MBA 13 (mid - 2013) two week ago and I found out that it doesn't support bose audio headphone (MIE2i mobile headphone) for audio input. So I am having experience for audio input with it. When I am having skype or recording, the voice go slient if i use that headphone as external microphone. All of my friends who are skyping with me can't heard my voice if i am doing skype with my MBA.  Audio output is fine though, you can hear as usual in headphones. Internal microphone works though,  but it is not good for privacy though.
    Thus, I went to apple store (Five ave) to trouble shoot about it, they said that is because Bose has noise cancelling, (BUT Bose MIE2i doesn't have noise cancelling though). They gave me two ear buds of apple ipod (one is outdate version & another one is latest version - that representative sucked, because she doesn't value the customer, she gave me outdate ear-buds, but i didn't urge with 3 dollars ear-buds), apple ear-bud works for audio input and output, however apple ipod ear buds are suck, it hurts the ears all time if you wear for 1 hrs. that's why I use quality headphone such as Bose headphones. Unfortunately, my bose headphone is not compatible at all.
    Is there any one having experiences with audio input with your headphones when you are using skype or audio recording. Which headphone is compatible with your MBA for input/output?

    The MacBook Air has a single headphone port. The microphone or headset in question must be of the three-ring variety, just like Apple’s headsets ......, the Macbook Air has the “headset” port,  not a conventional 2-ring mic and speaker port.
    Many are using this,

    Youre likely going to need to get a USB headset to use with your Air.   OR, standard headphones plus a USB Mic.

  • Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express for voice over recording?

    Hello,
    I am wondering which software is best for voice over work? Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express?
    Any input would be great. I would add the standard effects/filters to certain voice overs and add sound effects and music.
    I have a midi/guitar and garage band is enough for me. I would not want to use Garageband as my software of choice for voice over work. I want markers and other more advanced tools?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Thanks for the answer.
    I was looking at the Dialogue Tools in Sountrack and they appear to be perfect.
    My main questrion is can record into Sountrack with a mic right? I have an m-audio saphire with a m-audio preamp.
    I saw a demo of Soundtrack at NAB and all the effects looked perfect for voice over. I think Logic Studio is overkill but Sountrack and Logic Express( for my guitar) might be a perfect 1-2 punch. I will get Sountrack with The Final Cut Studio as I need video tools as well.
    Thanks,
    Erik
