What's the best way to record a phone conversation to GB?

i am doing a small podcast with my best friend "the joseph podcast" and we have a few celebrities calling in to our show, we can't believe it either, Angela Kinsey from "the office" and Charlie Day from "it's always sunny in philadelphia" and we were wondering what the best way to record a phone conversation would be. we need help and we are pretty much poor so keep it cheap. thanks so much!

If I were trying to record something very important, likely "get one chance only" type of thing, I would not use GB to do the recording. I would use a tape recorder and then later transfer the recording to GB.
I'd use something like this BELL-SONECOR TR-70 Tele-Recorder Adapter for $13.

  • What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight?

    What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight? I need to just make a short (less than 5 minute, no special effects) video, but I can't figure out any programs that will make this possible for me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    you can use iMovie to record a video for free on a Mac with iSight.
    1. Open iMovie HD
    2. Choose “Create a new project”
    3. Name the project for example “iSight Movie” (first field). In the second field, let the default location “Sequences”, in the third one, video format, choose “iSight”. Push “Create”
    4. iMovie window opens, next to the scissors, choose the camera (Camera mode), then iSight. Now you appear on the screen, right?
    5. Press “Record with iSight” in the main picture window.
    6. Press the same button to stop. Your new clip appears now in the clip panel at the right.
    7. You are done!

  • What is the best way to record a project to an external recorded via firewire. Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac?

    What is the best way to record a project from the timeline to an external recorder via firewire? Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac and recordes in realtime? This is possible right?

    While theoretically possible, sometimes the camera people disable recording back to tape from the computer due to DRM (digital rights managment) issues. They will allow tape to tape transfers however.
    Test your process first is all I can advise.

  • What is the best way of recording bass

    Hi Peeps
    What is the best way to record a bass guitar in Logic. I'm going through a Fast Track Pro Audio Interface. The songs we are recording a disco cover, like get down on it and freak out, so need quite a warm rounded tone to them with a solid level.
    Thanks

  • What is the best way to record video games on my mac

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

  • What's the best way to record different articulations in 1 phrase?

    In my first violins I am using forte legato, pianissimo pizz, forte tremelo and forte marcato in 1 phrase within 4 bars. What now would be the best way to record this? I am using Peter Siedlaczek's Complete Classical Collection. Do I make a seperate track for every effect and record 1 bar on every track? Or do I use the Key Switch for every effect withing 1 track? What is the most easiet way of working and especiallyu, what used not all my processor power? I only have a PowerPc with w GB ram.

    Seems like you've answered your own question as those are the two ways to do what you are trying to do. Using the key-switch will be less CPU intensive than using multiple instances of the plugin.

  • What's the best way to record high SPL band rehearsals?

    I need a simple way to record higher SPL band rehearsals. I don't need studio quality or multi tracking. Just an audio recording that clear and as un distorted as possible. I know the built in mics on Idevises are not really made for higher volume stuff. My band has changed some of the structures of cover songs we are doing so practicing to the original artists studio recording does more harm then good. I just want to be able to record us rehearsing so I can practice to it at home. And get the changes and structure down before we play out live later this month.
    I have quite a few idevices but the more modern choices at my disposal are: iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad (3rd gen) ipod (4th gen)
    What device, app and hardware will healed best results. I've been told the mic on the earbuds have a better frequency response then the built in mic. So is it better to use that?  And what app is good simple and effective at auto controlling the mic's sensitivity to reduce distortion.
    Also I am the drummer and acoustically seated, in About the worst position for quality. So rather then have the idevice behind my kit where I can control it. I would need something I could place across the room and just record an hour or two.
    Thanks.

  • What's the best way to record on an iPad3?

    Are there any Apple apps or third party apps that enhance recording HD on a third generation iPad? And - is it possible to set the camera for Landscape or Portrait video shooting? In short, where would I find a clear set of instructions on how to make video recordings on a third generation iPad? Would be very appreciative for exceptionally good info.   Gratefully, jtune3

  • What's the best way to record live webcam video with Premiere CS6?

    We are producing an online news show and will interview guests from all over the country. We will have them phone in using Skype and or their IPad. We would then do all of the post in Premiere. We would like to capture guest video from either Skype or an iPad using Premiere. Any suggestions for camera/software combinations will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I would not attempt to use Premiere Pro to capture live video. There are better ways.
    Perhaps a screen capture utility that records to a lossless codec that is easily edited in Premiere Pro.
    I use a free program (CamStudio-Recorder) but there are others. Since I have the drive space, I record to the Lagarith Lossless Codec. Premiere Pro cuts through it like a hot knife through butter.
    If quality is not the issue, then there are other codecs you can use that are lossy, but still not too bad.

  • What's the best way of recording drum tracks onto garageband?

    I usually use garageband to record acoustic tracks, but I want to get some drums involved. The drum kit software on garageband isn't great and pretty difficult to use with just the macbook keyboard, should I get some kind of USB keyboard or drum kit software from elsewhere? If there's a good keyboard for this purpose could someone link me up, because I'd also like to involve a bit of piano/synths in my recordings.
    I should also mention that I'm a student and am therefore on a pretty tight budget!
    Cheers!

    Yes, i suggest you to use a MIDI-Keyboard, even a small one (like my M-AUDIO KeyRig25) is good and fun to use. It's also better to use some specific Audio Plug-Ins which you can use in GB. There are many freewares around.

  • What is the best way to record a podcast when the host lives far away.

    I want to produce a podcast but the host/star lives 3000 miles away.  He will be answering questions from people by phone.  Any suggestions as to how to record it from my own desktop and control the content?

    Obviously you will need a device which record from the phone line, and the feed that into a mixer which also takes in the local microphones. I can't advise on specifics, only that you should experiment with test recordings until you get a satisfactory balance - it's liable to be tricky. Use headphones for everyone - don't let the microphones pick up the telephone call.

  • Once and for all: What's the best way of recording vocals...

    hiya there,
    i'm listening to some of my own recordings and it keeps annoying me that i just can't get the vocals to be powerful.... And it's not my singing voice!
    I've put vocals by other professional singers over my instrumental tracks and it all sounds sharp and 'into it', whereas my vocals 9dubbed or not) keep sounding shallow and bleak. i use a good microphone, but that's it. How can i improve it all?
    Hope anyone can point me in the right direction...
