Making a recording of a little drumming bear toy for a Play
Making a recording of a little drumming bear toy for a Play
I have now a recording of the little drumming bear toy which is pretty good.
Its a rather specific sound, "squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak *drum* *drum* *drum*" and its good the sound weve recorded matches the toy (who will be on stage an performing also! :)
I havent done sounds before for something like this.
This is my recording setup now:
Karaoke microphones -> DVD -> TV -> laptop (TV has audio out).
Works pretty well. The microphones are from Lidl or Aldi.
I first used mobile phone to record stuff. Then Bluetooth sounds -> laptop. (and ffmpeg enabled for amr converting) Thats not great. Flat
Im using linux so mostly Audacity for sound editing, Ardour for playing, VLC/ffmpeg for converting.
We shall see this weekend how they sound in the theatre! Ulp! :)
This is what it is for: http://www.milltheatre.com/shows/seasons-greetings
