... different distances away from my mouth because it has a proximity effect. New to using condenser microphones ... It's not the condenser microphone. Directional microphones have proximity effect due to the vents, channels and tricks needed to make the directional pattern(s). Were you able to get...

"Moxie" = energy or loudness. White isn't the only one, either. White has equal energy per frequency. Pink has equal energy per octave which is a bit more like your ear actually works. There is a Brown one, too and I don't remember what that one is. We are warned that putting white noise i...

mp3 files are 192. That's a good thing. Audacity default is 128. Terrifically excellent would be 256 or higher. You can prevent the sound from getting any worse by exporting to WAV and not back to MP3. The trip back to MP3 creates the problems. "How come my song sounds honky and bubbly when I ...
