Title: How do I MAKE an mp3 or wmv of me playing??
Post by: keb1209 on January 20, 2007, 02:05:42 PM: I noticed a lot of people have posted mp3 and wmv clips of themselves playing and I'd like to know what software and equipment you all use to create them. I want to be able to record audio of myself practicing and the tape recorder and my cell phone ain't cuttin it...LOL I would appreciate any tips you can give me on creating some good quality, clear sounding clips.

As far recording your organ. It depends on how proper you want to do this. I've tossed around the idea of properly micing my leslie for recording purposes, although I've yet to actually look into what all I need to do. When I record me playing though, I just use a mic and place it about a foot away from the Leslie. The mic is plugged into a 6 channel mixer and the mixer is connected to the Line-In port on the sound card of my computer.
