Linguistics recording setup
Posted by mholmes on 25 May 2015 in Labs, R & D, Activity log, Documentation
Linguistics have a rather confusing audio setup in their booth which is basically using an entire mixing desk to supply phantom power to a mic; they also have problems with playback to the in-booth speakers because the're missing a Y-splitter cable to feed mono 1/4-inch jacks to a stereo mini jack to the speakers. Greg and I spent some time working around the problem, and arrived at a setup which works perfectly in Audacity and has nice level settings, but it's not working with the VocaliD system which runs in the Chrome browser; they're going to contact tech support for VocaliD about that. I wish they had a limiter on their mic input too; the head-mounted mic very easily clips.
