A quick hint with Noise Removal. Don't try to establish a "studio dead quiet" background. Aim for "gentle suppression" in the noise and stop when you think most people aren't going to notice it. Noise Removal is a juggling act between actual removal of noise and destroying the sh...

Frying Mosquitos? If you listen to a segment of the podcast that supposed to be silent — or alternately, create such a short show as a test — can you hear pulsing or thrumming in addition to the overall hissy/buzzy sound? I'll call it a "hearbeat" variation on the noise, maybe twice as fas...

The gain control on the phono amp is actually that good You may have some extraordinarily well-behaved records. I couldn't get my collection to do that. I had to reset each record and sometimes during the record it would wander as the theatrical expression picked up. My system is of good quality an...

And only seven years ago. I only have fuzzy memories of that. I can reconstruct time and place from the narrative, but I don't remember actually doing any of it.

You have said previously that aggregating two UCA 202's and recording from the aggegated device produced excellent four mono channels. Not with my lips I didn't. This test was my first experience with multi-channel aggregation. And even at that, I had unexpected acoustic problems with the shoot on ...

Perfect. Now we get to rip it apart and see if we can figure out what happened.

I did an example of using two USB microphones with a Mavericks MacBook Pro. I have not seen these tools in earlier OS-X versions, so you do need OS-X 10.9.x. I ran through the audio test and then stopped. I didn't try any variations or adjustments. They're not simple vocal microphones, so don't mist...

That means the basic self-recording system is working and very probably the game is establishing special pathways. Is there provision for surround in the game? That won't go through the regular soundcard, or won't go through the regular way. Can you tell if the game is messing with the Windows Contr...
