Thanks to All (KR bhai, KK bhai, AF bhai, OMkar bhau and others) for appreciations, tips, comments, suggestions. I used Logitec Microphone USB version, had problem recording as it was not acknowledged by Audacity, had to record in other program, to bring back to Audacity etc etc before presenting to you friends (does anyone know why Audacity does not acknowledge a usb versioned mic?). I must say new Microphone is very good and I recommend it if you are looking for an update (it is also very easy to use). Dost, even I had the doubt in my mind that Audacity might not detect the USB Microphone. I think you need to find the kind of adapter from USB to Micrphone Jack... Let me see if something like that is available in the market... Even I was going to buy such USB mic. Pudhchyas Tthech, Maagla Shahana Thanks yaar.. But really, even I need a fairly good mic. Lets find out the solution for this ur problem. Now, to our true "Guru Chela" OMkar bhau. Kya gaaye ho yaar! Agar Kishoreda hote to aapko bahot achche aashirwaad hi dete. Bas Guruki tasveer samane rakh kar gaate raho, abhi to bahot kuchch gaane gaana hai aapko. Very sharp, clear voice, well modulated, with correct emotions and very well sung (lagta hai ghar pe koi nahee tha, GURU ki tawveer ke siwa). Bahot hi magn ho ke gaaye ho. Keep it up. Bina Magan Hue, Yaar Main Gaa Hi Nahi Sakta. I dont even know when my eyes gets closed while singing. Lot of friends complain about that. Even whenever I have been on stage, I just get lost!!! But I remember the day when I sung few notes with Amit Kumar on the stage and he had appreciated my voice a lot to the audience, saying "This boy has the real talent"!! I can never forget that moment in my life!!! Thanks Amitda!! Someone tell me, how to get better quality songs in esnips widgets format (whenever I upload there is quality degradation)? Is there specific setting I need to pay attention to while uplaoding in esnips? Does anyone know how to? Ab other Bahiyon ko chaal chalni hai. Kyon bhaiyon aap duets ki soch rahe ho kya? Arey bhaiyon, pahele solo to upload karo without delay (but take your time). Thanks in advance. Sanjay Why do u feel it degrades the voice quality?? I am really surprised to know... Its pretty straight forward to upload song on eSnips and post the link on any web-site or here on HF. Harish, you might know something more about this! And yess, Anwarbhai, bahut ho chuka bhai!! Koi Achhasa RafiSahab Ka Gana Gaaiye Na please!!! Kabse Khade Hain Aapke Intazaar Mein Aapki Aawaz Sunne Ke Liye, Aur Aap Hain Ke Bas Aankhein Churake Chale Jaate Ho!! Only THIS MOMENT is in my hand and I just want to live that Perfectly!!! |

ohh, i forgot to answer sanjay's questions.
I don't think there is degradation in the quality on esnips. It's basically what you upload gets played. I also don't see why Audacity shd not recognise the USB mic. I guess the problem is that Audacity is still pointing to the old mic source, and it has not yet been told of the existence of the new mic. Sanjay, check the following 1. Under Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager, ensure that the mic is properly installed 2. Under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio >Sound Recording, ensure you have selected the USB mic as the default sound recorder 3. Under Audacity "Preferences", check the first tab Audio I/O. Check that the correct device is selected for recording. Harish When it comes to singing, first comes Rafi saab. Then comes God.

Sanjay, you said you record the song using ur USB mic and then import the track into audacity and mix it, right? How do you really align the tracks on the right beat?? you got my question, right? I want to know if I can mix the voice (which is already recorded) on the karaoke track?? Harish, do u have any idea? Only THIS MOMENT is in my hand and I just want to live that Perfectly!!! |

Yes I didn't realise sanjay saying he records using some other software. Which means he needs to check only step 3 as the first 2 shd be correct.
@omkar, I guess, when he records, he gives the source as 'mic' instead of 'mixer'. So even when he plays the karaoke music on the background (using any software), only what goes through the mic gets recorded. He then simply 'drags and drops' the 2 files in audacity. Of course, he needs to 'time-shift' the second wave which he can do for the first line only, and the rest will automatically fall into place. btw, i hope u guys use headphones while recording, else a part of the music u listen will also get fed into the mic, and clarity will be lost.

HK I tried to do this by adding time-shift to the second wave, but it need to be perfect and its sometimes difficult to calculate the exact timeshift. Is there any other way, Sanjay? Please let us know. Oh yes, Harish, I use headphones while recording otherwise it will be really bad bad bad recording. I am only worried for my current mic quality. Hope to resolve it in coming few months. Lets see how it goes!!! Only THIS MOMENT is in my hand and I just want to live that Perfectly!!! |

Dear Omkar, Thank u so much for inspirational words, i think it does make difference in my mood...............The only reason that i feel nervous is because i don't think i mean to appear this soon..........it's only 5-6 months i am learning singing..........and i was expecting this happen within a year or two......isn't it too soon?...........about the keyboard guy, he himself will continue the show in terms of singing..........caoz i won't be singing mast songs for dance part of the show.......it'll be kind of break time from dancing part.........and i am to sing some slow and romantic songs............i dun know what am i gonna do?.......and he's not my Ustad to ask him set the music on key 5...i dun know if he's professional enough! .....so much anxiety for me .......................................................................

Idol, nervousness is a good thing. so don't feel bad if u r nervous. Even the greatest of singers are nervous before a show!
Remember what will help you on stage is confidence. And confidence comes only from practice. So, basically there is only one mantra - practice, practice, practice! And practice doesn't mean singing only. It is singing AND listening. Do a lot of listening to the music you are going to sing. Record the songs u r planing to sing and put it up here. we can give u song-specific feedback. When it comes to singing, first comes Rafi saab. Then comes God.

In fact, I had already checked with the first two tips, but then I was expecting to see it (usb mic) as a choice in the recording option of Audacty (which did not appear, that is why I did not try further in Audacity). Anyway, now the things will get much easier. Thanks again. Sanjay |
