Hello from the UK
Posted: November 8th, 2017, 1:47 pm
Hi everyone, very happy to be here.
I've been listening and lurking for a long time, as you can see from my registration date! Been intending to volunteer to do some recordings for some time, and now I have a nice new microphone I can actually do it. I'm based in the UK, retired from a career as a patent attorney a few years ago, and have spending much of my time doing Wikimedia stuff (Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia UK), and on photography. Recently I've been trying to help out with some recordings for the Mozilla Common Voice project (https://voice.mozilla.org/). I'm using Audacity on a Mac with an Aston Origin mic and an Audient iD14.
I've been reading through all the introductory material, and looking at the videos. It's still a little unclear what's important and what's not but I'll try jumping in. Have just completed my 1-minute test.
Michael
