I need to record voice responses from my participants in 30 second intervals at 9 different occasions during the study. I found the setup for the voice recording in the DirectRT help manual, applied it, and it is recording perfectly. The only problem is that the QUALITY of the recordings is terrible. You can barely tell that a person is talking in the .wav file that is generated. I need coders to be able to listen to and code each audio file, so this is a problem. I have the "RT threshold" down at 1 (on the soundcheck option in DirectRT), and the microphone seems to be registering, it is just the .wav file that is very static-y and inaudible.
The professor that I am working with on this project suggested that I email you and see if you had any suggestions for improving the quality of the sound file. Any insight that you have to offer would be greatly appreciated!!
