<p>For future reference, my advice to all reporters is that if Skype is going to be used, just use it for the video portion and use a normal speakerphone for the audio. There are lots of latency issues (lag of audio/video) when you use Skype to stream a depo. Do you remember old speakerphones back in the day; they had a lot of 'lag" in them or response time. Its the same with Skype nowadays. Using the speakerphone to supplement the Skype is the best of both worlds. If you need to record…</p>

Its the same with Skype nowadays. Using the speakerphone to supplement the Skype is the best of both worlds. If you need to record audio, your microphone should be literally on the speaker itself as long as you can control the level of the recording. If not you should err on the side of caution and place the microphone near the speaker otherwise you will blow it out and distort the audio.</p> I have never had a problem wi…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2016-05-09:1736041:Comment:13373562016-05-09T21:34:09.071ZJaniece Younghttp://csrnation.ning.com/profile/JanieceYYoung

<p>My Dia does provide good audio but it all depends on the quality mic I use. If I use a cheap mic, the quality is not as good.</p>

<p>Do you guys actually get good audio quality from your writers? I have the Diamante, and I listened to the audio once just out of curiosity, and it was garbage, certainly not good enough to ever be relied upon.</p>

<p>Was the Skype session on the computer you were writing to? I've had this happen using other products that stream video. Is there any audio from your writer?</p>
<p>If you did change your time in your RT file, trying listening to the .wav file in a program like Audacity or Express Scribe.</p>
<p>If a video connection is necessary, I use a secondary computer. </p>

<p>Did you change the time on your computer while your RT file was open? That will kill audiosynch. Otherwise, can't imagine what happened. This is why I use two digital recorders as backup to my audiosynch. Too many accents and out-of-control speakers out there to take a chance. And obviously you have the VAOFR audio. I even use the recorders on a video. I just love redundancy!</p>
