If so get your prostate checked.
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.
I remember recording clips of songs and used them to replace windows sounds. Those wav files took up a lot of space when your hard drive was only like 100 megs
Your first asset flip!
This + Sound Recorder in Windows + the Reverse feature = hours(?) of fun.
I even recorded some (bad) vocals for some (bad) Fruity Loops tracks with one of these.
Oh I remember those, sound quality was horribly bad.
I had one of these from my first Creative SoundBlaster… i forget which model. But basically it worked so well I used it for 15+ years. I sounded better than most. Half of analog mics was just proper mic boost configuration, the other half was having a system that wasn’t rife with noise. It didn’t matter how good the mic or soundcard was if the mobo was noisy AF.
You also needed to know where to hook up your wires! I found that nearby plugs tend to interfere with audio input A LOT. In my case I had multiple audio jacks so it was preferred to use the one where I’d usually plug nothing in nearby!
I had one of these for that game where Gowron teaches you to speak Klingon. I think I could still do that opening song.
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.
Never could figure out the appropriate place for this thing on my desk.
There was a mount that’d stick to the side of your monitor for it
