In a heroic effort to find something good, If your system will pass 9Hz, it will record any performance you put in front of it. You can totally have noise coming up the microphone cable. Put a 1/3M loop in the cable and hang it from whatever is holding up the shock mount. Something else you can try:...

See attached. My first inkling of advanced trouble was my speaker grill cloths slapping. I've known people who bought "ideal" microphones under the impression they were workhorses. They were wrong. The microphones spent more of their time in a polished display case than they did on the job...

Because of the way that sounds (you need a terrific sound system to be able to hear it) I'm guessing you live under an industrial building air conditioner or something similar.

The microphone is an NT1-A, not NTA-1 and it's Rhode. The microphone has no provision to "roll off" the extreme low frequencies. It's going to relentlessly capture whatever is in the room. The 2i2 (not 2.i2) is not a mixer and has no provision to equalize or change frequencies, either. It'...

You're in feedback. You do need headphones even in the studio. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg The micr...

Production in MP3 has serious problems and this is one of them. It's nearly impossible to do precise timing. MP3 is part of a video format and has some baggage from that association.

Oops. Sorry. That doesn't work on this forum. Tell us the computer, operating system and which Audacity you're using. All three numbers.

Id like to ensure as far as possible I am definitely going to meet the requirements before I record another 16 hours of audio... Ask them if they will allow you to submit a sound sample instead of several gigs of damaged show files. (not even sure what rms is?!) Root Mean Square. It's an approximat...
