Recording condenser microphone produces high pitch sound?
You have whats called a "Feedback loop" This is caused by having the microphne too close to the speakers. The microphone is picking up it's own sound from the speakers and then that sound is going through the mike again, back out the speakers, back through the mike and on and on and on. Turn the speakers off and use headphones when youre recording (like we do in the studio) If you cant turn the speakers off,unplug them completely and use the headphones only. This can also happen on stage, that's why the amps (speakers) are in front of the performers and they NEVER step in front of them. Notice the sound engineer at the concert is wearing headphones too? You shouldn't have the speakers activated when you're recording with microphones. You could also try lowering the volume a little and standing BEHIND the speakers or TURN the speakers to face the wall BUT YOU STILL NEVER HAVE THE SPEAKERS ON WHEN YOU'RE USING LIVE MIKES. EVER! You can use the speakers when you're recording an instrument that ISN'T making a live sound in the room (Like a MIDI keyboard) But nothing accoustic. Again, thats why we wear headphones.

Why does my voice sound so high in recordings?
Without further detail, it’s tough to know for sure. The two most likely causes:Your audio recording equipment is picking up and/or recording more treble than mid and bass. Try recording your voice with lots of different microphones and equipment, even cheap stuff like your phone or a digital dictation device. Play around with any settings on your microphone and recording software. If your voice is high no matter what you do, thenYour voice sounds much deeper to you than it does to others. This is totally common—our ears hear what is resonating inside of our heads, not what is projected out. A guitar or cello would sound very different inside the instrument.My guess is #2. True story: my freshman roommate in college had the nerdiest voice I’ve ever heard in real life. Like, Steve Urkel nerdy. He had absolutely no idea his voice was that nasal until I told him halfway through the year. We recorded him so he could hear it and his mind was utterly blown.
Why does a microphone cause a whistle sound when it is near the speaker?
This is an example of a positive feedback loop. The microphone is picking up a small amount of sound at all times. This sound is being transmitted, amplified, and actually coming out of the speaker, albeit at a low volume. When the microphone gets close to the speaker, the mic is not only picking up the small amount of sound it normally is, it also begins picking up the sound coming through the speaker. This causes the sound coming out of the speaker to get louder, and the microphone thus picks up more sound, and the cycle quickly escalates until the amplifier or speaker is maxed out.The speaker is "feeding back" into the microphone. The highest amplitude frequency is the one that gets amplified (fed back) the most, which is generally a squealing sound, but can be a low rumble or hum as well.This is why generally the person holding the microphone is behind the line of speakers, although there is technology to detect feedback loops and dynamically filter out those frequencies.
My microphone makes a high pitched ringing sound in video calls. Is this my laptop (a Surface Pro)?
This is very likely Audio Feedback, just like the classic squealing of a mike when it is badly positioned in relation to speakers (or bad Trim).Because the built in mike is fairly wide field of pickup it hears the speech from the speakers, processes it, sends it through, and recycles on the other side. Low Bit Rate connections just exacerbates the issue.Unfortunately even a high end laptop can have this issue; the hardware is rather basic regardless. Most of the solution is software related with the Software using various controls and filters to improve the sound.Some Suggestions to improve:Check Window’s settings for the microphone. There are a number on/off settings for filters, including one to make sure that what comes through the Microphone is not processed through your speakers.Get a Bluetooth Headset.Check your Video Software Setting to make sure the microphone settings on there are properly balanced.Check your Wireless Settings, poor connectivity will exacerbate the issue.
High Pitched Sound When I Record?
I have a Condenser Microphone SF-666 and Audacity recording software on my computer. But! Whenever I record, there's this high pitched squealing in the background, that is quiet and there as I record, and then it get's louder and more noticeable every time I speak into the mic, or even when I record without a mic. What do I do to get rid of it? Is there some way to alter it using Audacity, or do I just get a new recording program, and or mic, and if so what new program and or mic do I get?
How to record sound using a microphone through c#?
Is it possible to access a microphone using just c# on visual studios without using any other API? I can't seem to find a namespace that defines that then gives me access to the microphone functions so that I can simply access the microphone and begin to record sound and use it on the visual studios interface. This article says it is possible http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff827802.aspx but when I try to use the namespace Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio it isn't defined when using visual studios c#. I am a beginner so I don't know if I'm making sense here. What I'm trying to do is record sound intensity using a microphone and convert this to a voltage via c# .
