[App_rpt-users] Audacity and tailmessages

[Chris Curtis]

For me, I decided to make my nodes mp3 capable.

Using notes from:

http://ki6psp.blogspot.com/2010/09/arrl-news-on-allstar-node.html

this way I could 'work' with my audio and then output in a format I liked using across different platforms.
I use soundforge as I've been using that for years but certainly doesn't make the audio better or not :)

I have a recording of a doorbell as my courtesy tone instead of computer generated tones.

The best advice I can give you with audio quality is to make sure you are recording the best audio to start with.
Use a high quality sound input and feed it with a high quality microphone.

Now, I don't mean hundreds of dollars, just use the best equipment BEFORE you get 'digitized'.

Garbage in garbage out even with the filtering capabilities of your software.

Good luck!

I hit send early but anyone have any suggestions. For polishing audio for reply over a repeater?
