Recording Voices

[Guest]

Okay, I really want to record me singing, and I have a mircophone. But what
do i do exactly? I'm so lost.....


Where do i pug it in?

Plug the mike into the back of the computer. It's a little socket that
looks like the one you'd have on a CD or MP3 player and if colour coded it
"should" be red.

Now double click on the little loudspeaker icon on the bottom right.

Now click Options / properties / Adjust for recording / OK / click check box
for mic

Now Start / All Programs / Accessories / Entertainment / Sound Recorder.

Good luck.

Jim

PS If you get this to work and make a hit single - may I have a small cut in
the profits please?? ;-)

In Jim Robin had this to say:

The above will work just famously but won't be much good unless you want to
keep moving the slider when you try to record more than 60 seconds. If you
do then use the above advice, it's fine, but you might try the below
application which is free, easy, and fairly small as well as easy to use.

New to this so can't find where to type my question !!
I am trying to use sound recorder to edit a couple of sound bites by
deleting half of the file. Everytime I try to save the file, it says there is
not enough memory to complete the operation, close some programmes. There are
no programmes open !
can you help?
