Subject: RE: Tech: Help Me Make This Recording-speech/flute
I did something similar to Suinbhne but all you need is Audacity and your Zoom H2 (and maybe your favourite Audio player on the PC)
- Record the speech on your Zoom H2 (already done), copy it to your PC.
- Playback the speech to the flautist over headphones and record her accompanying music on your Zoom H2.
- Copy the flute track to the PC.
- If desired edit the two audio files separately for audio quality.
- import both into Audacity and mix the two together.
I have dubbed background music on to video of my granddaughter, keeping her chatter using this method.
There is a pretty good tutorial on the Audacity website on mixing tracks. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Category:Tutorial
I have an Edirol R09 rather than a Zoom but the consensus seems to be that the sound quality from both is pretty good, even using the internal mics.
