I am seeking advice about making audio recordings. I want to record a series of guided meditations for those attending my stress reduction classes. These recordings will have my voice only (no music), and I need to eliminate ambient noise. For some past business projects, I made recordings using my Apple PowerBook laptop, a very basic headset/microphone, a Griffin iMic, and software such as Sound Studio and Audacity. However, I have had a difficult time eliminating ambient noise. Also, I want better sound quality for my voice. One solution would be to utilize a recording studio -- if anyone has some recommendations on inexpensive recording studios, I would be happy to receive them. Alternatively, if anyone has recommendations about how to produce high quality vocal recordings at home, I would be grateful. Perhaps a better microphone along with some means of gaining distance from the computer (to reduce noise)? A home recording option may be best in the short term, as I would like to have something completed before my next "Taste of Mindfulness" class on February 26.
