How to record sermon if pastor keeps moving around?
Hello, I'm trying to record my church's pastor sermon. He wears a wireless mic and keeps moving up and down the isle and side to side up in the altar. So I can't use a steady microphone to capture sound. I can't either capture from the mixer because it doesn't have output for digital audio. The sermons are curretly being recorded to cassette via the RCA output through the mixer. They want to continue recording to cassette for people that don't have PCs.
Any ideas? Here's the hardware I have:
laptop with regular ports (USB, PS/2)
recording software
external hard drive via USB with 300GB capacity
Remember my details, he already wears a lapel wireless mic. He's already being recorded, to tape. I have to either record him straight to digital or somehow convert the tapes to digital. Any of those answers would help a lot. Thanks.
A lavalier microphone is the best way to record when the pastor won't stand in one place. It is clipped to someone's jacket or tie. It has it's own battery pack and the sound comes through loud and clear. (I used to have a "wandering" pastor and this was the way that the sound team was able to capture his sermons on tape.) The URL below will take you to a page with more information about such mikes.
Digital Mixer â the Revolutionized Mixing Console
A mixer, or mixing consoles, audio mixers, mixing desk, or sound board, is an electronic device that combines or “mixesâ€, routes, changes level or dynamics of audio signals. There are 2 types of mixer – analog and digital. Though analog mixers remain popular because of its simplicity, digital mixers have remarkably making its way over the past couple of years. Below are just some of the key advantages of digital mixers:
Special Features
Most models include special effects like parametric EQ, gating, automatic feedback reaction, compression, reverb, tap delay and straight delay. Other digital mixers have spectrograph, real time analyzer, and can be integrated with loudspeaker management devices like crossover filtering and limiting.
Remote Access
System technicians can make adjustments from a distant using wired/wireless laptops, tablets or touch screens. Modifications can be easily monitored and controlled thus a more responsive mixing platform to address changing conditions on stage.
Sound Quality
A digital mixer utilizes a mic preamp which is followed by an ADC that quantizes the audio stream. Consequently, overloading and clipping are appropriately managed to produce a more accurate digital streaming. Many digital mixers are also quieter than their analog counterparts. They are more resistant to external interference from radio transmitter for instance walkie-talkies and mobile phones.
Usefulness
It allows groupings of inputs by internally reassigning functions thus providing convenience. Also, space requirements can be saved by sharing channel adjustments. In addition, saved data can be accessed via external storage device such as USB flash drives.
Virtual Mixing
Using special computer software and coupled inputs, recording hardware and output, digital virtual mixers can save cost, physical space and media archival.
