Advice on Voice Recording
I need to record some voice messages for a “hold music” device on a phone system. I need to do this on a shoestring budget, but I am concerned about the audio quality.
The device can import mp3, wav, ogg, or wma files. It converts them to 64kbps ogg files and stores them on flash memory. There is a “music” queue and a “messages” queue which are crossfaded, so the audio level needs to be consistent.
My basic idea is using a mic headset (which I do have, and was intended for use with speech recognition software) plugged into a PC (does it need a good sound card?) and record into...some free software? Do I need standalone software? I think Windows records wav files...
For recording voice messages, can I expect a decent result? Or else, what would you recommend?
