MIC TO RECORD RECORDINGS?!! Oh snaps!

[emotron inc.]

can anyone help me out? I like sampling from movies and what have you, and I don't know what kind of mic to use; one without lots of fuzz in the sound, with direct focus on the speaker producing the sound (not anything around it). Hell, any help would be grand. thanks!

I'd probably just take a direct out from the TV or VCR/DVD. Cancel that...I WOULD take the DI.

...even better, if you have it in a digital medium, like dvd etc... de-mux it!


you can strip out the pure audio... no worries about signal path!


...look out on the web for software that allows you to rip dvd's to mpegs... and then you can use software to demux the audio (I know mplayer does this)...

SmartRipper will allow you to do stream processing, so you don't even need to futz with the video and demux - it'll copy just the audio stream.

BeSweet will allow you to convert the audio (most likely ac3) to wav for editing purposes.
