5 On this next page you will choose your recording settings. Because this is a Screencast + Audio recording, the first two settings (Camera size, Camera input) can be ignored. We will use the third option, Microphone Input, to choose our microphone from the drop-down menu. The drop-down menu will list all available microphones connected to your computer. Choosing which microphone to use is an important factor in the quality of your recording. Mediasite Desktop Recorder: Recording a Lecture

6 Choosing a Microphone to use We will want to use an external microphone to record the audio for your presentation. This can be a headset microphone or a microphone that sits on your desk. Many external microphones connect to the USB port or the microphone input jack on your computer. These offer the best audio quality. Do not use the internal microphone that is built in to your computer or laptop, as these do not typically offer adequate audio quality. When the microphone has been selected from the drop-down menu, it is time to ensure that your levels are set correctly. Speak at the same volume level you will use when recording your presentation and make sure that the sound level peaks in the top of the green range. This will ensure that your voice will not sound distorted on the recording. If the levels are too high or to low, you can adjust the levels. This is covered below.
