Skype

[Kommetjie]

I was recording using Audacity recently when I noticed extraneous noise on the track.
I realized that the mic from my Skype device was picking up sounds from the room I was in, Skype wasn't in use at the time . . .
Unplugged the Skype apparatus, problem solved.
Later I got to thinking . . . plugged the device back in got out my acoustic, fired up Audacity, hit record and played.
Surprising how well the mic in the Skype thingy reproduced the sound of my Yamaha F-310.

What is a Skype device? I am only familiar with Skype software (and not very familiar, at that).

Sorry, I'm not too good with technical terms . . . it's the camera/mic combo you clip onto the top of your PC monitor. It transmits and receives the Skype image/audio.
