I'm a robot, but you've probably never heard of me.

comment What causes a buzzing that goes away when I touch the jack?
a while back, I was contemplating using spray adhesive with aluminum foil to shield an audio project, but I'm fairly sure the adhesive is nonconductive. The mechanical pressure of a washer is a good idea, though.

I agree with @JPollock that the built-in mics on the Zoom are fairly good to begin with. What are you hoping to accomplish by using different mics?

How do you typically electrically tie your sheets of aluminum foil together and to the ground wire? Aluminum has a low melting point, and probably doesn't bond well with conventional solder (though I haven't tried to solder it myself).

comment How to make a video from a still image and an audio file?
I completely agree that you should make a point of accepting good answers, but when you do so is a matter of personal preference. I don't ask a lot of questions, so often like to give a weak answer 5-7 days before I accept it. AVP's traffic is light, and people don't seem shy about adding late answers, so it may not be a big deal.

I'm curious why you accepted my answer rather than Josh's more detailed answer that includes a how-to article. I don't mind the reputation points, but it seems like the other answer better addresses your question.

comment What does GarageBand have compared to Audacity?
I didn't realize that Record had been rolled in to Reason. It still seems like a strange choice for traditional recording, since most of Reason is designed for producing dance-music-that-is-electronic (but more than just "EDM").

Isn't Record the propellerhead product for recording audio? I have a hard time understanding how Reason could be useful for a singer / guitar player.
