And a side note. The ACX standards are really close to broadcast, so if you can pass those, you can post and submit just about anywhere.

What time zone are you in? That may help deciding who talks to whom.

Often a good-quality MP3 (lossy compression) can sound identical to the original (in a proper blind listening test). Yes, but. MP3 is designed to be an end-product. Make an MP3 and full stop. If you make an MP3 from an MP3, the sound quality is going to degrade and if you do it a third time, you mi...

The light on the front turns blue when the microphone is plugged in correctly. It turns green when the sound services are talking to each other. I was hoping for a multicolor light that can tell you your voice volume. I think one of the other Apogee microphones can do that. So that's it. As much as ...

Getting there. The volume control on the right-hand side controls your voice volume. Advance it and see if it doesn't make the Audacity blue waves taller.

There's a note that buffer settings can cause snaps and pops. Audacity has a buffer setting. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices > Latency > Buffer Length > OK. Write down where it is now and change it by a big jump. See if the snapping gets better or worse. Still no idea what the light does. Koz

I can't get the instructions to tell me what that knob on the right side does. It could be show volume or it could be headphone volume. I think the little light on the front tells me a bunch of stuff and I'll find out what stuff shortly. I do note that the microphone comes with a version of ASIO4ALL...

I finished the new screen example. A voice performance should look something like this. The bouncing sound meter occasionally tries to turn yellow from green and the blue waves approach half-way tall. Nobody hits this exactly, but getting close is good. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/Audaci...

Your voice as recorded is really tiny. It should be possible to boost your live voice so that an occasional blue peak gets close to half-way up. If you're viewing the bouncing sound meter, it should bounce up to about -6dB to -10dB. If you can make your voice louder, it's possible nobody will hear t...

That tiny thing at 5.4 seconds?
The thing at 2.2 seconds sounds like lip smacks. I am plagued with those.
