Oh and you're never going to split the performers from each other. One thing you can do is soundproof the room. I can't find the example right his second, but I have talked to someone ten feet away in a glassy, insanely echoey room. I can watch their mouth move, but I can't understand a word they're...

It tends to start skipping at louder noises. We in America call that broken. Or that's somebody's experimental software. Can you imagine explaining to the executive producer that you were on the scene of a massive explosion but you don't have footage because your recorder doesn't like loud noises? ...

if I can have each mic only picking up one person at a time. You're all in the same room? I saved this layout for illustration. This is (or was) the Charlie Rose studio and that's the spacing he needed to get good isolation between his voice and the guest. He and the guest are well-behaved and not ...

Puzzled puppy looks all around. There is one other possibility. Audible is a very large, complex, evolving company.

You never said what your microphone was. Does it have a volume control on it? That setting should probably be higher. Your raw annoucning is very low volume. If you make it too low, the electronic noise of the microphone will start to interfere with your voice. Your voice recording blue waves should...

The raw closet test reading will not pass noise, but it's much closer. I applied 9, 6, 6 noise reduction and I got the ACX Check posted here. Screen Shot 2020-02-25 at 18.51.33.png It does pass noise, but not by enough. The limit is -60dB. Your Closet Test with Noise Reduction is -63dB (quieter), bu...
