Hello,
We currently have 3 options for microphone recording:
Do not record
Always record
Record on button down
I tried using the "Record on button down" feature and it caused nothing but frustration. The recording seemed to actually cut off what I was saying a good 1-1.5 seconds before I actually let go of the button (an obvious flaw in the codec). Therefore, "Always record" is preferable but it also has one flaw -- It records EVERYTHING. My annoyingly is the light clicks of my mouse and keyboard. But also, my mic is sensitive enough to even pick up a random car driving by outside. My liquid cooled PC can even be heard in the background of my recordings... and that thing is super quiet!
With that in mind, a fourth option would be nice: Voice activated. Being voice activated or "Noise Gated" like Teamspeak or Skype can be, would be ideal. The best of both worlds! It would be always recording without the need to a PTT key, but it also wouldn't pick up all the small background noises that my nice sensitive mic can hear!
Thoughts?
