Karaoke Voice Recorder For Pc Free Download

[Billi Plancarte]

RecentlyI picked up a karaoke microphone (cost me about $15, so clearly - most entry level). It has an unbalanced output and I've used it with my PC (connecting it to the "mic" input) to record audio in Audacity, and also directly plugged to my small practise guitar amp (15W, 6.5" speaker).

For my untrained ears, the recording quality is not too different compared to what I have with some of the el-cheapo headphone+mic sets one uses with PCs. Probably, that is expected. Another observation is that the karaoke microphone seems to be able to pickup sound only when held very close to my mouth.

Wondering as to, in what all ways are microphones used for recording vocals different ? I am not talking of the high-end studio microphones, but microphones used by people who do gig in clubs, or sidewalks etc.?

"Bad" is situational and in the ear of the beholder. You will not get the same sound quality that is present on most (but not all) professional, famous recordings, since most (but not all) of those recordings were made with high-end studio microphones like the Neumann U87 or the AKG C2. However, some famous recordings (like Michael Jackson's Thriller album) have been made with much more affordable microphones that some might consider "less good" (maybe not "bad") for studio recording in general.

Your specific mic could be just the ticket for a punk, rap, metal, or industrial recording, either for vocals or instruments. Or there could be a silky jazz singer out there who loves the sound of their voice through that specific microphone. Production is an art, and like all artist's tools, no one can tell you what you should be using, and choice of tools is part of the process of artistic expression.

Store brand karaoke mics which cost $15 and have the 1/8" plug on the end to plug into a karaoke machine are likely not going to sound very good, but this has more to do with build quality and parts than anything. They build them cheap to sell them cheap and the audience they are trying to reach isn't really concerned with sound quality. However, if this is what you have to record with then by all means go for it. This is exactly what I started out recording with and a radio shack condenser mic for drums. We all have to start somewhere. Working with "bad" equipment and squeezing every ounce of life you can out of it will help you hone your skills and you will be more able to appreciate the "better" equipment when you get it.

When it comes to live and recording, there is actually a lot of crossover between mics that are used live on stage and in the recording studio. For example, the Shure SM57 is a standard for guitar amps and drums both live and in the studio. Mics used for kick drum/bass cab will work the same both live and in the studio. Drum overheads will also work the same.

A main difference between recording/studio and live/PA is that condenser microphones are very common for vocals in the studio, but for live they are less common because condenser mics in general are more sensitive and thus are more prone to feedback. Microphones that work well live will also work well in the studio. Todd Wilcox mentioned Michael Jackson's Thriller being recorded on an affordable mic...this mic was the Shure SM7 / SM7b which brand new is $350 (extremely inexpensive compared to many studio vocal mics). This mic was actually created as a broadcast mic, but people loved it for studio and live so it kept getting used. The list of pro recordings that have used this mic is off the charts from Metallica, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, John Mayer, etc., it's also used frequently live, and in broadcast the SM7b along with the EV RE20 completely dominate the field.

So really the main issue is whether the mic itself sounds good, not its price or what it's intended purpose was. The SM7b is not an expensive studio mic and it was not created for recording or live use, but it sounded amazing in these applications so now it's used all the time even by studios with essentially an unlimited budget...when a mic sounds good then it IS good! :)

hello everyone, I'm new in the forum and I'm creating an app to create songs by adding a recorded voice to the karaoke song. I have already set up the SoundRecorder and the Player, but I don't know how to save the track on the device with the karaoke song combined with the recorded voice. I had read about a plugin to export files to the SD but I am interested in the internal memory, also because on the SD most of the times the permission to save in the most recent devices is denied. how can I do? Thanks in advance.

Someone might be aware of a way to do what you want to do. I cannot. You can look at the list of sound/music manipulation tools available as extensions for App Inventor maintained by Taifun App Inventor Extensions Pura Vida Apps

I have tried my app. The SoundRecorder and the Player work simultaneously. By inserting the headphones into the mobile phone, both karaoke and voice are recorded together but with low audio quality. Is it because the karaoke audio is heard from the headphones microphone or is the audio recorded automatically with headphones?

Poor quality could be because of the quality produced by the SoundRecorder (the SR does not produce high quality audio), the characteristics of the device 'microphone' ... the simple hardware in a phone or a tablet will not produce excellent voice quality or something else might be degrading the audio (perhaps the processing capabilities of your device cpu). I seem to recall a post once where someone attempted to record the audio of a phone conversation...they ended producing a very low quality audio file. That is similar to what you are trying to do. Someone might be able to postulate a more concise explanation of what is happening. Sorry, I can't

The SoundRecorder documentation doesn't offer an explanation. The quality of the SoundRecorder audio is not great. To improve it, you need to increase the sampling rate to improve this quality, and possibly also set a different audio format, other than 3gp. This is not possible with SR, there is no method for changing the recording format. You might try Gareth's Mad Robots SoundExtension; however the link I have no longer works. This too Redirecting to Google Groups might help.

Use this Block to save the track probably using file addresses similar to used to set the sound Source in Taifun's AudioPlayer

taifunPlayer715178 35.6 KB . It is save where you tell it to save. You possibly need to place the SavedWaveRecording into an event handler if it does not use a default address and automatically save just by including the Block. Try it with a folder address and see if it does save; if it does not, you will need to use a Button or some other method.

I am singing songs of legendary Indian playback singer Kishore Kumar for nearly 45 years, which is my great passion.

I am thankful that there are other people in here, passionate about audio/music, from whom I can seek help.

Does anyone know if any song recording player/machine is available in the

market that can do mix, amplify vocals(with Karaoke background track),

while recording has feature to playback the performance, to save it as mp3 file & has USB interface to transfer the file to an external drive/PC?

The Karaoke music track is usually already pre-mixed, so I mainly need

mic input for vocals.

To summarize, I am looking for a recording device that has a few(at

least two) input ports, for voice input via mic, play karaoke/track music so I can record a song over a track, save it as an audio(mp3) file & playback the same.

Kindly let me know.

A Soundcraft Notepad should do this recording and playback at the same time pretty well. The 5 is the smallest and allows mic input, playback of computer audio, recording (via USB) and playback on speakers via XLR connectors.

Thanks for the reply.

However, what you mention requires recording via PC software, whereas I am looking for recording on the device itself & playing it back as well as transferring the audio(mp3) file to PC via USB to play it via media player.
