Ideal install is to have the microphone screen directly in front or slightly high. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/lin-manuelMicrophone.jpg It doesn't matter if you have the microphone upside down or not as long as you're (usually) speaking into the company name.

If you have a C01U, why do you need the G-Track? This is the Behringer version of the same microphone. C-1 analog (not USB). That's recommended spacing if you don't have a pop and blast filter. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/HawaiianShakaSpacing-NoScreen-500t.jpg This is an inexpensive micr...

There are production rules not obvious when you're starting out. The live performance should be as perfect as you can make it so you don't have to apply a ton of effects, filters and corrections later. If you can suppress the "Announcer Voice" proximity effect by backing away slightly, you...

Also, I can't exactly prove this, but it's possible to have speed issues if you try to combine two WAV files at different sampling rates.

I would like to try four or a different number. Why? Do you have a specific application in mind? Sometimes addressing a question like this in a vacuum isn't useful. The poster may misunderstand what the tools do and is narrowing the question to the wrong tools. "I want to [ real question ] to ...

Many sound mixers and other microphone interfaces promote the very high quality of their microphone preamplifiers. The show quality will never get any better than whatever the MicPre can do. The sound signal that falls out the bottom of an XLR microphone is super tiny and designers have to start wor...
