Re: Voice-over set up with dynamic mic

I will have someone in Bali make a heavy blanket. Two. The design has a doubled-over heavy blanket on the table and a heavy blanket over the frame. It's a complete tunnel with only one side open. If you leave the table free, not only do you risk slap and comb filter effects (talking into a wine gla...

Re: Voice-over set up with dynamic mic

I got mine in person from a large furniture moving company somewhere in South Los Angeles. But I did find serviceable blankets from Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/72-inch-x-80-inch-movers-blanket-66537.html?_br_psugg_q=moving+blanket Screen Shot 2020-11-30 at 12.54.25 PM.png I think a...

Re: I pass the noise floor test until I start talking..

I didn't say so above, but you can still fail noise even if you do everything right. Home readers never pass noise. -60dB Noise (the ACX standard) means your background noise has to be 1000 times quieter than your voice. My house is pretty quiet, but I still have to hide the ticking wall clock and w...

Re: I pass the noise floor test until I start talking..

ACX Check is the obvious trick, but nobody can read directly into ACX Audio, so we publish Audacity Audiobook Mastering. https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering That's the long scholarly version. This is the short version. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/AudiobookMasteringSuit...

Re: Low pass filtering causing high pitch ringing sound

Bose QC 35 II headphones

Those are wireless, right? Does it happen with wired headphones? Wireless has an extra layer of technology between you and the computer.

Re: Loud hiss/feedback recording 2nd track

I can also drop an MP3 backing track with no problems.
We had a similar posting not too long back which resolved when the performer stopped using the imported backing track.

Re: I pass the noise floor test until I start talking..

they think they are recording into their new expensive microphone, but later find out that they were recording into the computers built-in microphone instead. You can do a physical reality check. Scratch each one. You may need to consult your instructions to find out where your computer's microphon...

Re: Voice-over set up with dynamic mic

The moving blankets are heavy. The ones I bought are 17lbs, 7.7kg each. Sound has to move them to get in. This is also why packing foam doesn't make very good sound material. Packing foam's job is take up space and not weigh anything. Sound foam's job is to weigh so much sound can't get in. MV7--- I...
