This + Sound Recorder in Windows + the Reverse feature = hours(?) of fun.
Never could figure out the appropriate place for this thing on my desk.
I literally have the same one in black that I currently use lmao
My ska band used one to record a demo back in 99.
I had one of these for that game where Gowron teaches you to speak Klingon. I think I could still do that opening song.
I had this exact one. In fact I think its still sitting in a shoe box along with a bunch of old PCI cables, 14kbps modems, and other useless componentry.
I used to record music on one of these. Sounded shite!
Ok, but what about the sound of the recording?
Oh I remember those, sound quality was horribly bad.
There was no sound quality, good or bad.
There was a very simple space game on the computer (I think it came with windows, like hidden with other files or something?) that all the sound effects were just wav files.
For whatever reason, I used the microphone to record new sound effects but just sounds I could make like "pew" and literally saying the word "boom" and replacing all the files and playing it that way. Must've spent several hours on that project for sure.
Jean-Luc Picard: ICQ
Now there's a name I haven't heard in like 20 years. It occurs to me I still remember my old ICQ number, 3939036 (I think).
I loved recording my voice and then playing it back on our Gateway computer for my dad. After that it was time to hop on the Oregon Trail and hunt some big game.
Not that exact one, but yes! I swear mine was Altec Lansing, but I cannot find any pictures of one. It looked just like the Labtec ones.
For a very short time, yes.
yes, and that thing sucks (there's an unbearable noise)
oy you're killing me today lemmy
Ok, it the span of hours, c/nostalgia has posted my microphone and my pc controller. I'm starting to think they are just going though my shit.
If the next post is a Gateway 2000, I'm pressing charges.
I even recorded some (bad) vocals for some (bad) Fruity Loops tracks with one of these.
Reminds me of those dentist suction tube things
Yes.
Yea every few weeks for years.
Came with my IBM Aptiva.
Microphone.
Edit: Sorry, I somehow read it as "What do you call one of these?".
What do you mean "did you"? I know exactly where mine is.
I have the MicroKorg version.
I've been thinking about buying one again! I want to get better quality headphones than you can get with an attached microphone.
Yes. I put it under my desk along the front edge. Mine had a surface mount thing with it, and I used that for its placement.
Promptly never used it.
