Hi all... Our church is on a tight budget. We want to post the audio sermons on-line and also have a welcome video w/audio. We have tried recording this with a normal video camera, and I'm not sure what we used to record audio-only stuff, but in each case, the quality is poor. You can hear every background noise loudly. Can you recommend how to record audio and video so that it is higher quality? What kind of affordable equipment do we need? Our priest likes to roam when he gives a sermon, so he doesnt stand at a podium. Any recommendations you could provide would be helpful. For His Sake, Christine B |

Would your priest be interested in wearing a small recording device on his belt clip, attached to a clip-on microphone? That would be my first idea. That way, it wouldn't have to run through your sound system at all, but would just capture what he says, wherever he walks. I haven't researched specific devices, but I'm sure there are plenty of gadgets out there that can record .mp3 files or .wav files directly through the microphone jack. Just make sure it has a capacity large enough to hold the entire length of his sermons. Anybody else know of specific devices that could work here? |

If you can get the sound to a computer, you can record it using Audacity, a free audio application. From there you can export to an mp3 using a host of encoding and quality options. |
