There is totally a way to do that by writing checks. You strap two news-gathering microphones so their heads are together and talk over only one half. You need to make a special microphone "Y" cable with one microphone backwards. That's where your cancellation comes from. Plug that into yo...

Since you have live walls, you can view the wall as a source of sound. The idea is shrink the distance to your face and increase the distance to the walls. We're going with your microphone. I did my podcast test with a head-mounted theatrical microphone (not gamer headset). The room is irrelevant. Koz

If you don't use the books, how were you going to get the microphone close to your face?

Getting closer to the microphone may help with echoes, too.

The book and towel isn't just for height. If you have a microphone with no sound isolation (like yours and the one in the picture) it may pick up noises from the table and the floor. The Big Kids have shock mounts where they put heavy rubber bands on the microphone to keep noises down. http://kozco....

I did keep the URL, so I got them again. Click on them.

Which brings us to the Plastic Pipe Studio. One of the posters jammed some plastic water pipes into a 2M square studio and then threw some blankets over it. She's recording audiobooks now.

I have those pictures.......somewhere.

I am not trying to get professional results Thank you. I haven't been able to use this quote in a long time. I don't need professional audio. I just need clear sound at good volume and no distortion or noise . Most pros I know would kill to be able to do that. I think that the noise is coming from ...

You had me frightened for a while. I assumed you were going to appear on camera as part of your video. Sound in that case is much more difficult. I don't hear any boomy bass sounds. If you have a music system, it's not unusual for those to have boosted crispness and boomy bass. It makes your music s...

This only works well if you know what the original was. A certain tonal boost is going to have very different effects between a Glen Glenn sound recording and me in the back yard. That and not all corrections show up in the equalization. Echo and phase corrections don't necessarily cause volume chan...

export audio file, for example as .mp3 Any reason you're using MP3 for this step? Since your goal is a compressed video file, you are taking your high quality performance and compressing it twice, adding compression distortion at each step. We recommend WAV (Microsoft) for production and steps in t...
