Criteria
I knew I wanted a new mic, but there were some specific things I
was looking for. For the new one, I had the following criteria:
Not a USB mic. Straight XLR
Must sound good for close-talking voice o...

While at MADExpo last week, I interviewed
several members of the Menchville High School Robotics team. They
brought their awesome robot to demo, and explained how the team and
the program works.

What follows is a raw excerpt (before copy editing or final tech

Action. This is just a small portion of chapter 20, which
covers the media element, streaming, using IIS Smooth streaming,
using the Silverlight Media Framework, creating raw video and
audio, and using the webcam and microphone APIs. I've blogged bits
and pieces on this t...

You can’t record that sound as nothing is coming “back” to the PC. Howev...
