Someone please explain how to record a voice "file" for use within a website as background or narration

Question

I know that I will need a USB microphone, and that I must plug it into a usb port, but then what? Don't laugh, I am usually pretty adept at figuring things out without much assistance. Maybe if I alraedy had the microphone, I'd be able to figure things out from there. I guess I am doing what I often do... Wanting to know something before hand.

What I am really asking is where does the recorded voice get saved to, a file? If so, where would the file be saved? in windows media player (which is the only program I have for sound media)
Some one mentioned something about needing quicktime player, is that really necessary? I'm wanting to keep this very simple, as the voice/narration will only be used to describe photo's posted on a website and within Powerpoint presentations on CD's. I do want the best results I can get though, poor quality wont cut it, I'm going to sell my end results, so it's got to be good. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Answer 1

The easy way is to use the sound recorder in your computer. You do NOT need a USB mic. Get a computer mice at K-Mart / Walmart / Radio Shack etc. and plug it into the pink mic. jack on the back of your computer tower. You save the file anywhere you want on your computer. This will end up a pretty large file.
For a smaller file size, record onto a cassette tape and use an authoring program to capture the sound file. (Nero / EZ CD Creator etc.)
