Follow these tips to have a better voice output with VCS:
- Set the Advanced Tune close to 0.
- Do not adjust all Equalizer bands too high. You can use the presets or manually combine all bands.
Try this way: Drag the sliders down and gradually raise them up till getting the best combination. The five left bands are bass frequencies, and the right are trebles. Add more bass to have a warmer voice and more treble to have a high-pitched voice.
- VCS DIAMOND users can use the Frequency Morpher, Formant Morpher, Voice Equalizer and Sound Quality to get a better result.
- Do not open many applications while VCS is in use.

Probably you have your speakers placed too close to the microphone. Please keep away from the speakers and turn your microphone to another direction while speaking.
Using headphones is highly recommended for a better voice output. If the echo still persists, open the Volume Control (the small speaker icon at the right corner of your taskbar), click Advanced under Microphone and uncheck the box "1+20dB Gain" or "Mic Boost".

 

Simply adjust the Advanced Tune close to 0, and the problem will be fixed.

Open the Volume Control (the small speaker icon at the right corner of your taskbar) and check the MUTE box under Microphone. By this way, your original voice will be muted, and you will hear only one voice output – the altered voice.

- MPEG Layer-3 audio encoding technology license from LAME.
- MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology license from MPG123.
So, rest assured that you can play any mp3 files with VCS Player and save the recording in mp3 format with VCS Recorder, too.

VCS does not support creating/saving audio files into MP3 format by the mp3PRO or Fraunhofer IIS codec.
VCS, however, does employ the Windows Media Encoder (a freely downloadable media encoder developed by Microsoft) as one of its components in processing digital audio data to save/create/playback the MP3 files. When running VCS in Windows XP or earlier Windows OSs, this codec is presented under the name “Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced)” and is used for processing low quality MP3 files. But since Microsoft has stopped including the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 codec in its multimedia framework from Windows Vista on, VCS does not currently support the use of this codec in producing MP3 files.
