Well, no mic, but I managed to may some relatively low quality ones with my cell phone:

How I generally speak.

My slightly calmed 'radio voice,' complete with a fuck up and one word I don't know how to pronounce (Credit to Harry for my stolen source material).

Last, but not least, advice for Darryl.

[Lines]

HA.

Darryl, I will find some advice and record it for you shortly.

[Spinless]

Between them, Joe and Taylor have basically made this audio thread better than the previous ones by a pretty wide margin.

[jhocking]

How did I miss her recording until just now? love love love her voice

ADDITION: I better unplug my microphone soon or I am going to take over this thread.

Alright kids, gather round and I will tell you a story.

[sean]

So in the vein of Jon, I have used my cell phone to record (shittily) my voice for all of your listening pleasures, since I know you all care so much about the new kid on the forums that nobody knows yet.

It is here!

Expect lots of random skips. It's really breathy as well. I recited tablature for all of you though, so you can learn a new riff!

[calenlass]

I think these are all pretty useful pieces of advice, Darryl.

MORNING SUNSHINE

best friends!

Here's me reading a version of popular fairy tale and also, here's some advice for Darryl.

[Patrick]

If you're gonna box.net PLEASE convert to mp3 first. Otherwise I'm just too lazy/unwilling to sacrifice what little hard drive space I have left.

[Blue Kitty]

um, this is what I sound like....sort of
http://www.box.net/shared/hq4kl38sos
edit: sorry, correction made

oh, and it turns out that the Rock Band mike works just fine on my PC

[jhocking]

aif files

These only work on Mac. Convert to mp3.

aup file

What the hell is aup? Again, convert to mp3.

[Lines]

For those using garage band, after you export to iTunes, you convert it under Advanced.

[sean]

Blue Kitty I love you now. Your post reminded me I had an old Logitech mike for my PS2 and lo and behold, it works.

I'll do better voice stuff later!

Edit: Joe .aup is the audacity format. For those using audacity, you have to export as wmv or mp3 to have it not be stupid aup stuff. Except mp3 is a pain in the ass cause they want you to download something else. Grrrr!

[jhocking]

huh, I use audacity quite a bit but I've never actually saved to it's file format; I've always just exported to some more useful file format right away.

Except mp3 is a pain in the ass cause they want you to download something else

I assume you got audacity years ago. I don't know exactly when it became part of the main package, but mp3 is no longer a separate download.

[Blue Kitty]

it was for me, I just downloaded Audacity and they told me I had to download LAME

[Patrick]

This is me introducing myself in Albanian. It says "I'm Patrick, I'm 19 years old, I'm from California. I've played guitar 4 and a half years, and I like music, running, and girls. I like pizza, Birra Korça and raki. Thanks, nice to meet you, goodbye!"

[jhocking]

it was for me, I just downloaded Audacity and they told me I had to download LAME

Really? huh, well I guess I just forgot about that then, because I certainly have mp3 export. I don't recall doing that, but I suppose it was a year ago.

[sean]

That's what I'm talking about!

It's quite easy to do though.

Step 1: go here.

Step 2: Download the file for Audacity and extract and stuff.

Step 3: When you export an mp3 file, audacity will be all like, bitch wheres the LAME. When it asks, just go to where you downloaded the folder and open it and click the little LAME file.

Wasn't that fun?

[McTaggart]

Taylor; wow.

[0bsessions]

Your computers all suck. I'm running Windows XP and have been able to play every single piece of audio here without an issue.

Also, more reminders for Darryl: Brush your teeth! If anyone wants to know Rachel's biggest fear about our relationship, look no further than this clip!

Also, in Katie's trend of fucking with stereotypical accents from our homes: MORE reminders for Darryl!

[jhocking]

Was that pen? Aside from the bit at the end, she sounds like such a mom. As in, if you called Central Casting asking for someone to voice the mom in your new Saturday morning cartoon, they would send her.

[0bsessions]

...yeah...Joe...that was me.

[KharBevNor]

I can't be bothered to dg out my mics. Last year, some people made a documentary about me, called 'From the Island' where they got me drunk and talked to me. It was quite fun.

Part one is here.

Part two is here.

[jhocking]

 

 

 

[calenlass]

aif files

These only work on Mac. Convert to mp3.

Except that I tried that and when I uploaded them and linked them in gabbly they didn't work for anyone.

[Patrick]

Try again. I want to hear it.

[Dimmukane]

Are you sure aiff's don't work on PCs?  Or is aif a different file type.

[jhocking]

Well they will play if you have Apple media software like iTunes or something, but the fileformat was created for Macs.

[Lines]

Yeah. It's what Garage Band gives you instead of an mp3/m4a.

In iTunes, go under advanced and click "Convert Selection to AAC". That's what I did and it works.

[jhocking]

Speaking of which, my computer didn't recognize your m4a files. Technically I could listen to any of the other filetypes people have used, it's just mp3 is most convenient. However, yours I couldn't play at all.

[Lines]

Weird. I know other people's m4a's were being played in QuickTime instead of iTunes, but they all work for me. WAVs also go to QuickTime, but wma's won't work (as I'm not on a PC). I don't know why they won't work then, so I'll try to fix it.

EDIT: I don't know how else to convert it, but it says it's encoded with iTunes and QuickTime, if that makes a difference.

[jhocking]

Probably just a codec thing. My computer actually did recognize the files enough to give them the icon for Windows Media Player, but there's an error when I double-click on them.

What are you recording in anyway? You've mentioned GarageBand a few times, but that's a silly tool to use for recording a voice track. Download audacity, it's free and available for OSX as well as Windows.

ADDITION: Oh wait now I remember what m4a is. That's the filetype Apple created for people to use instead of mp3 on Macs and iPods. So it may play in iTunes if I switch it to that instead of Windows Media Player, but again it's not a filetype that is widely used outside of Apple products. The same place you can tell iTunes to convert to AAC, you can also choose mp3.

That was kinda cool.  I have a feeling you and a friend of mine, and vicariously me, would get along like Larry, Curly, and Moe.  If we didn't live 3,000 miles across a very wet landfill.

[Liz]

This is me introducing myself in Albanian. blah blah blah

That was pretty sweet. Also you need to do the Georgia accent one, I request it.

[muteKi]

I have a few YouTube videos of me narrating while I show videogames being played -- will that work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITfigcznjHk

[Jimmy the Squid]

I suppose.

Here is another story!

Also if you wait like 10 minutes I will re-upload my other recordings in mp3 format.

Also i suppose if you want to hear how I normally sing you can check this out but I dare say many of you have heard it before.

[Lunchbox]

I will take care of you Darryl!

[calenlass]

The same place you can tell iTunes to convert to AAC, you can also choose mp3.

It probably can! The question is whether or not it will.

[Jimmy the Squid]

This thread is too much fun. Way too much.

Fuck you Liz-biff. Fuck you hard.

[SilentJ]

I think these are all pretty useful pieces of advice, Darryl.

MORNING SUNSHINE

Katie, I had to listen to this file through iTunes since it's an m4a, and because your name starts with a K as soon as I heard you say "RISE AND SHINE MOTHERFUCKER" it went into Highway to the Danger Zone.

I just wanted you to know that.

I'll probably sing or something when it's not 5 in the morning.

[Lunchbox]

Don't stress Pat, I have a similar problem.

[calenlass]

Man fuck you, Patrick, that is not a real Southern Accent.

(Mine is not either. A real southern accent is like what I did before.)

[Patrick]

Hah, that actually kindof amuses me. I only lived there 4 years and I've been gone for 6.

But now that you mention booze again, I have a mostly-empty bottle of Grolsch sitting here next to me and I've got something like 3L of 180 proof raki downstairs. If you want to get into a booze-fueled Accent Battle To The Death.

Also if you want to get into an Ebonics battle I will fuck you up, ho.

[calenlass]

Caution: herein raps a white girl.



Honey-chile don't even. I will do the snap-snap-snap thing so hard you will actually take it seriously, foo. But i's cool, dawg, cuz what is what it is. We go.



Edit: Squidday this is for you. I was going to do some simple 6/8 percussion (drumming on books) but I couldn't keep a steady beat (I blame alcohol). Also it fucks out in the middle but I do not really want to fix it right now. Also also it sounds like a sea chanty to me, and I find myself leaning towards a brogue anyway, so I just went with it.

[pen]

Also, more reminders for Darryl: Brush your teeth! If anyone wants to know Rachel's biggest fear about our relationship, look no further than this clip!

I really wish I could hear this at work.  Damn blocked sites!

That should be me picking a random (yet tragic) story out of the newspaper and reading it. If it's not...*shrug*


If I get creative, you might see a Sunset Rubdown cover show up over the weekend.
