Copeland low sound clip

Whistle
1

Thought since I’ve recently gotten a copeland low for the 2nd time, and eaten crow about selling the first one I had, I should post a sound clip or two, in anticipation of the forthcoming review :wink:

(slow, which I could do on the old one)

faster, jig tempo.

I’m fairly convinced this 2nd Copeland isn’t quite as rich and reedy as my first, but still sounds quite nice.

What do I need to record my whistle songs and make mp3’s of them like you do? I really would like to record some songs to see how I sound and maybe record some original stuff too. Can you help?

BTW I really appreciate the quick response to the question I asked you about the Copeland whistle. Love your website.

Ben:
I used Goldwave software to record my clips..

It used to be about $25.00 us, but I see the price has gone up…perhaps some folks here can point you to some cheap (or even free!) sound recording software.

Other than that, I just use a computer mic I bought at Microcenter, which plugs right into the sound card…it’s a pretty simple setup

Thanks. I got the program and I already have a mic so it looks like I’m open for business.

I’m impressed with your lung capacity, Wanderer!

It’s definitely time for me to start some better exercise regimen. Since I’ve left behind my Generation for Copelands, I can’t get as long a phrase in before I need another breath. On a low D, I’d be panting.

Sure thing – Audacity is free, and much better than I remember Goldwave being. (Admittedly it’s been several years ago since I last tried Goldwave.) Audacity is the only audio editor I use, and it’s fine for recording on computer as well. Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
