			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Yeah. I use Incompetech too. The problems are small, yet they're there. Sometimes it messes up my timeline, or won't play. If you watch my (crap) video Zach's Christmas, about nine seconds in, the music kinda freezes, then plays. (I exported it from garage band in MP3)

It'll be worth it to have good sound quality.
[quote=Edmeier Animator]Also, MP3 is a very bad thing for Final Cut.[/quote]
What?  I've used Final Cut Pro at school and I put Incompetech music in it no problem (all of the music from that site is in MP3 format).

Maybe it's just Final Cut Express that has a problem with MP3s.]]></content>

I don't really think that's a good idea. 

You should record the lines on an audio program like Audacity or GarageBand (if you have it) compress it into an MP3 file, then drag it into your timeline on Final Cut Express.]]></content>

I remember.  It's 1=good, 2=background noise, and 3=too quiet.

Are you using Audacity or some other audio program?]]></content>

[quote] sensitivity while recording[/quote]
[quote] then turn the volume up for the recording[/quote]
Are you doing that in your recording software? Try this:
Go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording [tab] > right click your microphone > properties > levels [tab] and then turn that up if it's down.

[i]EDIT: It's also possible for realbrick's post to be the answer[/i]]]></content>

I have had the same problem as you.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[So. I got a Blue Snowball mic for christmas, but I have one problem. The volume of the recordings. Every time I record something, the sound is good, but too quiet. When I try to turn up the sensitivity while recording, I get background noise. (BTW I'm recording in a perfectly silent environment) Even when I record it, then turn the volume up for the recording, more background noise. It only sounds good when I export the video, then turn up the volume on my computer. Any ideas to make the video decent volume in the first place? :)]]></content>
