Note: LF-Rolloff affects noise because even though it drops rumble and other earthquake noises (that only cats can hear) with minimal affect on the show, those noises are measured in ACX testing. So it's one of the effective corrections that you can make that's very nearly "free." What are...

That's what I thought. Boost overall volume, very gentle compression (to increase loudness) and trim volume a bit. Screen Shot 2016-09-12 at 12.32.32.png So we officially have a studio recording and from here it's fine tuning, maybe lowering the background noise a bit (maybe tiny noise reduction, St...

I did entertain writing "Everybody Does This Wrong." Record your voice and then prepare that exact recording or sound file for posting without saving any steps in the middle. "My computer crashed and I can't find my work. I don't have time to read it all again." Also: "ACX r...

And again, we're designing a Phantom Power adapter. My original design was to a dry (no battery) 1/8" plug, not commercial grade XLR. There was no 48v and no other option.

You're something of a special case because you arrived already closer than most people. My bag of tricks ran out. You're not disaster recovery. You're already close. That may actually be harder.

ACX is very stern about consistency through the course of the book. So you won't be changing anything until after the first one. I live in horror of a Producer calling with the idea of scheduling a reshoot of a portion of a recording. "You do remember how you did it, right?" [email protected]#$%^ Effect ...

That one is much better apart from the Zener value which can be chosen. Somebody is paying attention.

Do you know the parameters of the mic in your setup? Mine has a voltage range 1,5-10V. Which theoretically should run on a single battery in your design. I was obsessive. The actual implementation in that illustration uses four AA batteries for a total applied voltage of 6v. The microphone has litt...

Audacity can't easily use ASIO, so that's not a good Get out of Jail card. Please note that headset in my illustration has the headphones on one plug and the microphone on another. Many modern, non-digital headsets jam everything onto one plug via extra rings and it's up to you to figure out what th...

My UM2 supplies +46 volts at the XLR when the phantom power is turned on. It drops to dead zero over about a minute (with nothing connected) when I turn it off. I stopped watching at .003v and sinking. Phantom power is required to actually go off when you turn it off. Some legacy microphones can be ...
