Voice recording hiss - static - buzz

I'm trying to record my first podcast. I have a Macbook Pro, osx 10.5., a microphone, a imic, a M-Audio Buddy Preamp.
I have set all the midi settings on both the mac and GarageBand itself and I've adjusted every button, knob, and slider on the preamp and in the program.
I thought I had read every article I could find on how to get audio into the computer and from what I read this is what I should do, so I have layed out almost $100 bucks now. All I get is my voice that sounds like a whisper even when I'm holding the microphone right up to my mouth, and it is only audible if I'm shouting into the mic.
Now I know I could just use the built in microphone or just plug the microphone into the input but the hissing noise seems as loud as my own voice. How do I get a clear sounding voice like all the podcasts that are out there?
I have also tried using Sound Studio with the same results. I'm so frustrated about this I hope someone can help me.
Is there anything that can be done for the hissing sound also or is that normal? I don't hear that high pitched hissing noise on any other podcasts.
Thanks for any help.

I am guessing I don't have a Condenser Microphone, I googled Condenser Mics and they don't look like the one I have. It's just a mic that we use with our Karaoke machine and has 500 ohms on the side and I thought humm 500 is a big number, must be a good thing.... obviously not.
So I will go home from work tonight, and just for giggles, set the Imic switch to the speaker symbol and see what happens, but I think I've tried that. But I'm assuming it wont work without a Condenser Microphone.
Looks like I'm going to need to shell out money for a new Microphone, unless anyone can tell me how I can get rid of that hissing sounds I hear when I plug the Microphone directly into the iMic or plugging the Microphone into the Line-in port, the volume isn't an issue when I do that, it's the hissing sound that's so bad.
I'm sure there has got to be a way to muffle or cut out that high pitched hiss out of the voice recording, making it a clear voice instead of a voice with someone saying "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" over the voice.
I'll post again when I get home. Thanks so much

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

Muvo TX voice recording noise/buzz very h

bought yesterday Muvo TX 256MB (non FM), latest firmware installed (.0.05) and heawy noise while recording speach. Actually the noise has more intensity than what is ment to be recorded. The buzz/noise continues 00% of the recorded time, all time the same, and no matter what is trying to be recorded. Is the device broken? Or is this device just unusable by "feature" or is there some parameter that should be used (did not find any in the menus of the device)...
Is it just DOA? Or are all other having similar problems?

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.

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.

IPod Touch - voice recorder ...?

I've been hearing a bit of buzz around the hacker(s) who built an external device that plugs into the iPod Touch and records sound.
The reason I came across this info, is because I'm looking to purchase a digital voice recorder as a christmas gift for my boyfriend (who owns already owns a Touch). He once had a 3rd-party device that attached to his older iPod, that allowed him to record. With all this hacking going on, does anyone know if apple or other companies are already in the works of developing such a product? In this case, my idea for purchasing a (sony/ olympus...) voice recorder is not so exciting. I'm sure he rather have the extra piece to stick into his iPod Touch, rather than carrying around a clunk of gadgets. Anyone know of such plans? Is this a few years away? or coming up sooner than I imagine?
Thanks for your thoughts!

thanks VIP- but I don't think I'll be buying parts for marion to build for me. Even if it means spending a lot more on a brand, I just feel more comfortable purchasing the actual released product.
Or, since so many people are writing up on eok & marion, maybe I'll keep watching over the next week or two to see if people have been using it.
Is this device risky? Is there a chance of it screwing up the iPod?

Classic II microphone, voice record

I got an Apple microphone for my Classic II like the one it came with originally. But I can't get it to record a sound.
When I bring up the Alert Sounds and try to add a new one and hit Record I get a bunch of hissing.
When I try to open the Voice Record application it says that the program can't be run on this Mac.
Is something broken or am I missing something?

Dr Zaius,
"Is something broken or am I missing something? "
Probably neither. About a year ago a fellow in England asked the same question. I tore apart two mac audio ports and took pictures. Bottom line is that Apple changed jacks and the microphones do not interchange. One is longer than the other. (The pictures are on a different machine. I can post them later.)
Pull the plug out 1/8th of an inch and see if it works. Otherwise, the plug you have may need to go IN 1/8th of an inch farther than the plastic allows.
Here is the Apple reference with pictures and better explanations - they just give pictures of the plugs, no pictures of the inside of the socket :

Good luck.

Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

Wanted: Sample source code for voice recorder

I've been google searching for some sample source code to implement a voice recorder on my AudioVox 5600. I would like to learn how to read from the microphone and write to my SD card in a standard file format like wav, wma or mp3.
Can anyone help me understand how to do this?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Basic would be ;
RESULT_FIELDS -xxx = <SOURCE_FIELDS> -xxx
you have the source fields as source, and result fields for as the target. In between you can check some conditions as in other routines of transformation.
BEGIN OF tys_SC_1, shows your source fields ( in your case DSO chars and key figures)
BEGIN OF tys_TG_1, , shows your result fields ( in your case Cube characteristics)
Hope this helps

Voice recording for jabber client

hi,
is there any voice recording solution for the jabber client via expressway E?
seems there is no solution around, is it not supported?
is it possible to use TCS to record the calls made by external jabber client?
thanks.

1. Use span (no span-less\Bridge_option) ports (via "expressway c e" from outside)
2. Use span-less\Bridge_option and VPN access to connect from outside (without expressway).

How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voiice recorder?, How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voice recorder?

I just bought an iPod Classic, and in the shop, the demo model had a "Voice Recorder" option on the menu, and I read somewhere that my ipod could be used as a voice recorder, and I was just wondering how to do this? Do I need a microphone??

Yes, you'll need to purchase a microphone for it. Just do a simple Google search for iPod Classic microphone, and should get a number of good hits. Here is one such product that would work.

How can I use my ipod touch 2G as a voice recorder?

I'd like to use my old ipod touch as a voice recorder. It's an ipod touch 2G (8 gig) using iOS 2.2.1. I tried updating the iOS but an unknown error (-1) occurred. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro 10.7.5. Any ideas?

Error (-1)
Try on another computer
Also see:
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
Then see:
-1 error
-1 error too
If still problem that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If you get it to work I then the 2G iPod has a built-in Voice Memos app but you will need to purchase an microphone since the 1G-3G iPods did not have built-in mics. The mic plugs into the headphone jack.

How can I convert and/or import .3ga Android phone Voice Recorder files to iTunes playable format?

My new Android smart phone (Samsung Galaxy S Blaze) has a pre-installed "Voice Recorder" which creates .3ga files of whatever I record with that app. But I can't find anyway to play or utilize them on my PC. I'm new to iTunes (for Windows Vista), and I'm hoping it can play these files somehow but when I drag them to the iTunes window the red circle with a line through it shows up and the file doesn't get transferred. I've also tried importing via iTunes File > Add file to library > click on file on my PC, but then after a second the "Add to Library" window disappears and the Voice file is nowhere to be found in iTunes. Any ideas are welcome. I'm pretty low tech....
Thanks!

Zen Vision: M Voice recorder feature for school quest

Hello guys. I am very close to purchasing a Zen Vision: M 30GB MP3 Player.
My main concern is with the Voice Recording function since i wish to record
school lectures.
Will anyone who owns one of these or has direct information, please discuss this with me?
] How clear are the recordings? I'm planning to record 2-3 hour lectures at a time
2] I've been hearing there is a faint noise due to the hard-disk of the unit, does it present an issue?
3] How is the battery life, in terms of recording?
Any additional information you have dealing with recording, will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
~Dimitriy

Go to "Music Library" then select "Artists" and to your desired artist.
