Audacity Forum

Mine is a second gen. I'll just keep going and using the roll off EQ. What about the "rain barrel" problem? Solvable?

Another thing I noticed (and this may be normal, I don't know). I read on the forum that when you're setting up, you should watch the bars in Audacity while you're just talking into the mic, and adjust the gain until your peaks are just about -6 dB.

awesome, where did you get your blankets?
