      You can use an app like Audacity or the voice recorder app that comes with Windows!

      It should just be called “voice recorder”

    My brother bought a microphone few months ago. At first the sound was great. After a few months it got worse. I don't know why and how to fix it. It picks every sound in the room but if I get further from it, my voice doesn't really go thru. Also it's not clear (kinda echoes and you can hear it a little static).... please

    Thank you for this video.
    Just a quick question
    I bought a USB mic for my youtube channel. How do you record your voice and save it so you can edit it later on your recorded clips? I'm recording my vidoes on my phone and I want to record my voice via the mic on my laptop so that I can blend them together in a video editing software and create a video where I'm talking. How does that happen? Thanks

    • @TropicalTech
      @TropicalTech  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi!
      What I do is I record all of my audio in Audacity (I have tutorials to install and set it up if needed). Then I edit them together on DaVinci Resolve
