Koz, Sorry, I guess I wasn't particularly clear either. No, I couldn't really hear the MMMM, but I'll try a couple of different headphones and see what I come up with. And yeah, I was trusting you on it since I couldn't really get past the hiss. I'll check the time and go through the steps you just ...

Koz, So is that last 120HzTone attachment the sound from the Test2 I sent? If so, I might be boned or have to start moving around the house again. And is the BananaBread.xml what I should use as opposed to the rolloff one in the list you gave me? Since I've gotten this far with it, maybe I'll pull t...

I'll keep working on my room, and do as little as possible in post. Koz, thank you so very much. I honestly can't tell you how much this means to me. When my friend (a self-published author) asked me to do this, at first I was like "Oh, yeah, that'd be great! I used to read novels to my wife at...

Great, thanks for all the help. Glad to hear I don't need much post-processing. Do you have any suggestions on anything to do now that the noise problem/ACX check is all in line?

Nope. I've got just a ceiling fan with a light in there but am keeping it off. Dressing light, tho it's only hitting about 90 here (and my wife likes the AC at 82) .

Ok, I'll try that. But I double-checked and turned the AC off. I even turned the ceiling fan in the downstairs room off. Again, I'm in a sub-division and could be pulling in noise from someone else's AC? I don't think my fridge is any noisier than average and it's a floor down and offset. And the fi...

Yeah, PJTest2.wav is without any processing.

I appreciate the info. It's all good to know. This narration I'm doing is for a friend, and if it works out, the first thing I'll invest in will be a new mic setup.

Also, good to know about the Mac and little noise. Might try putting it back in there.

Koz, Ok, here's a new raw file. I've also attached my ACX check. Just out of curiosity (fixing my ignorance) what's the difference between the two Noise Floor readings? I've got a real book under the microphone, and a several-folded up towel under that now. My computer is out of the closet, as far a...

Koz, I'm doing the recording on the second floor of my house. We have dual zone AC, and I turned off the upstairs one, but I don't think I did the downstairs. And yeah, the AC/furnace fans are right above my head up there. So I'll make sure I turn both of those off today and try it. No light or ceil...

Koz, I can't thank you enough for all your help! I've left as much clothes in the closet as I can and still fit in there, but I think I'll put up a blanket on the back wall that I'm facing. If I'm still picking up noise, I'll figure out a way to hang a blanket over the top of the closet that will dr...
