Folks- I'd like to join in HearMe, so I bought a cheapo mike, that sounds terrible. I'm copying this from the recent Autoharp Hear Me thread: Subject: RE: Reminder Autoharp friendly hearme 5/14! From: BlueJay Date: 06-May-00 - 03:19 AM

JAB- I'm happy that this is coming about! I will listen if nothing else. But I need some help. Are you a "Computer Enhanced" individual? I'm megabyte challenged, and having some sound trouble. Briefly, I want to participate in "HearMe" so I bought a ten dollar mike at WalMart. When trying recording in "Sound Recorder", it sounds terrible. Static and distortion are really bad. I tried using "Help", changing from radio quality to CD quality with no improvement. I even went to Control Panel-Multimedia and messed with the audio settings, still no luck. My speakers are cheapos, but they've always sounded pretty good with other things, so I don't think it's the speakers. Unless you or someone else has any ideas, the only thing I can think of is that the mike itself is no good. Thanks for any help you can give. BlueJay
I'd really like to participate in HearMe, but I don't want to subject anyone to the crappy sound I've gotten from my system so far. Any ideas? Thanks, BlueJay
