(Some audio boards require you to drop the sound versus a mute input option. In that case, a small piece of tape marking the correct setting to return to is a great visual cue.)

Tip #2: The closer the mic is to the speaker’s mouth, the more likely you are to avoid a tinny or hollow sound on playback. Just watch out for those hard syllables like p’s and s’s. Having the mic adjusted so it’s not directly in front of your mouth makes a big difference.

Tip #3: Pay attention to lapel placement. The microphone will pick up a jacket, collar or other piece of clothing rubbing against it and overpower the speaker’s voice. This is particularly true if you wear any accessories, like watches or jewelry, that move when you do.

Tip #4: Keep your audio fluctuations to a minimum. Variation in tone is a great way to keep your audience engaged but becoming too soft or too loud will impact the quality of your recording.

Tip #5: Remember things happen. Be prepared with a back-up plan.

I have been recording the services for weeks now. I have them all digitized.

There is, of course, no easy answer to this, but this article aims to inform you of the different features available for recorders, what they’re for and how they will (or won’t) be of use to you, as someone who is recording for transcription….

I’m glad that you found the information helpful. It sounds like you’ve got a good system going for you. As to setting up an RSS feed, you may want to check out the “Sounds from the Church: Podcasting Sermons” blog article.

https://blog.ourchurch.com/2006/10/31/sounds-from-the-church-podcasting-sermons/

In the article you will see a reference to blogging software by Word Press. FYI – You can install that software for your website using Fantastico in your Bronze package’s cpanel.

I have been recording the services for weeks now. I have them all digitized. Now I am seperating the sermon from the whole service. Next I want to post them in our website. I have learned that to do the best job I record the service at as good a quality as possible then digitize at the best quality and the last thing is convert to MP3 and that is where quality can come down at the very end without making the sound really sound poor. Thanks for the great tutorial. We have bronze so have the multimedia page in the package for Beacon. Now the next question is how do I add the XML to our site to provide a RSS feed.
Thanks so much,
Bill Larsen

Just record, upload, and you’re good to go! (side note: I’m not associated with it in any way.)
