Do you actually have headphones or a headset, a combo of microphone and headphones? If you have a headset, you may need driver software that "knows" how to deal with that. How is it connected? What's the model number?

That's sounds like the Yeti Curse, although that's not likely because you don't have a Yeti microphone. In a Yeti, that's the USB management data chugging up and down the cable and leaking into the sound. Before I associated it with a Yeti, I used to call it "frying mosquitoes." That sound...

I am now having a look at those reflection/isolation booths Make sure you need it before you pop for that much money. They're intrusive and not cheap. Behringer UM2 seeing as you said it was pretty good I said I liked it. It seems to do everything I need although that's not my first choice. http://...

Sorry. Didn't answer the question. I don't know of any reason a tablet would interfere with a reading. Is the work completely on the tablet, or are you downloading the work in real time? Being professionally obsessive, I would turn off any radio services: BlueTooth, WiFi, Location Services. I totall...

I am learning so much that I didn't know doing this process! You are replacing a recording engineer and studio.

I'm midway between a police station and a hospital, so even with a well-soundproofed room, emergency vehicles are a problem. You can get a slight advantage with wall hangings by not jamming them against the wall, but leaving a small gap, say inch or two. Drape rods or curtain hanging hardware can be...

To be clear what that shock mount is doing, I built one out of plumbing supplies and postal service rubber bands. It's perfectly functional and I've used it for actual shoots. The pictures click. http://www.kozco.com/tech/pvcShockMount/shockmount.html People make mic stands that work like an arm-sty...

I have put it on some of the piled-up boxes in the store-room That's one of the recommended installs. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MicBookTowel-500t.jpg The blue furniture moving pad keeps desk echoes and slap reflections down, the towel and the book in combination keep floor and desk vibrati...
