Re: Improving Audio Quality in Captivate

Hmm. I've never found importing the files from Audacity all that laborious.
I've always found I get the most professional results by recording all of
my voice-overs first and then capturing screens while listenting to the
recording play back. It makes the timings so much more seemless. I also
really like being able to add true silence to the audio track in Audacity
for pauses in the audio, etc.

But in reference to your question, what audio settings are you using in
Captivate vs Audacity?
