Re: Improving audio quality through hardware

Here it is.
http://reellife.podomatic.com/entry/201 ... 1_40-07_00

The show is "Reel Life Show." The production values are just so-so, but the sound quality works OK.

Re: Improving audio quality through hardware

And yes, I did use Mix-Minus from the mixer so New Jersey's voice didn't go back to New Jersey. I'm in California. Most of the problems with shoots like this is people try to smash everything into one computer and the balance fails. Some people do make that work. They're celebrities. I can't find it...

Re: Improving audio quality through hardware

Re: Terrible playback sound

Is the implication that I need to re-record everything with these settings disables in order to get quality playback? Yes. Windows Enhanced Services grabs the show during recording and applies the "corrections." So you most likely have damaged show files or Projects. You should make a new...

Re: Underwater quality sound when singing into external mic

You may have banged into Windows Enhanced Services which is an automatic filter that Windows applies to make speaking, Skype and conferencing clearer.

Re: Db(A), Db(C) equalizations should not miss in stock auda

which are extremely common in audio measurement. Yes, but not in isolation. Their full family names are dBA-RMS and dBC-RMS and are generally associated with Sound Pressure Level measurements.
