[DECtalk] something i heard

Tue May 10 15:47:02 EDT 2011

Hi,

Since I wanted to use DT 4.4, I used TotalRecorder to record the
actual audio at 44100hZ so it's probably coming from TotalRecorder
itself. Then I just used Audacity to mix and add the reverb. I tried
recording the actual DT audio at 11025 but it loses some high
frequencies in the recording process. I agree, GoldWave's resampler is
a piece of junk.  They tried fixing it or improving it but actually
made it worse IMO.

I don't have APH Studio Recorder but will keep that in mind, hear it's
a great audio editor.
