The overall sound quality and clarity is much better with those new settings. There's just a hint of P popping and breath noises. You may get rid of that by backing away from the microphone just slightly. I think your intelligibility improved too, possibly because you're speaking a little slower. Yo...

When I did my Skype/Podcast experiment, I played show music (intros, outros, themes, bumpers, stingers, etc) from iTunes in the computer into a sound mixer.

I liked the first one because past the good quality and clear voice, he seemed to be really excited about the game and he knew how it compared with other, similar games. He pulled me into the game with him. I have crystal clear m...
