Posts: 2 		Hi, I'm trying to record audio for a character in Muvizu - everything works fine EXCEPT for the fact that I can barely hear my voice.

1) I turned up the volume all the way in muvizu
2) I checked my headset using the skype audio test and everything worked loudly and clearly.
3) I do have a sound effect on the muvizu timeline - I'm a new user and am wondering if that might be the conflict? I can hear the sound effect fine but not my audio recording.

Please advise.

Thanks, Scott

I occasionally had conflicts with different types of audio within Muvizu. Some file formats seemed to work better than others. While not being able to help with your specific problem I can tell you how I adapted the way I work with sound to get the best quality I could.

First thing buy a damned good microphone for recording your voice. I use a Samson Meteor and put the microphone on a stand...a proper stand not the small types that sit on your desk as the mike will pick up the rumble of your computer. Then record your voice through the mike using audacity and import the file into Muvizu.

I only use the voice track in Muvizu itself. Everything else, music, sound effects etc and the original voice recording are all then mixed together on separate tracks in Audacity. When mixing I use a good set of speakers not headphones and I also check the sound through the bog standard speakers on the PC...most folks won't have top notch speakers when watching the animations...just to make sure everything is really clear no matter what speaker system people are using. I also stick to using MP3 for sound files in Muvizu but WAV for everything else in audacity.


To be honest designing and mixing the sound on a finished animation is one of the most enjoyable parts of the process.
