I'm approximately 5-6 inches away from mic (three inches from popshield) and headphone monitoring isn't too loud (I don't think) ... If you try a short experimental recording with headphones unplugged you will be able to tell if headphone-bleed is the source of the problem. During the experiment in...

... The thing I don't get it that this resonance happens on with different mics and interfaces and mic positions... The resonance effect will be dependent on ... The frequency-response & sensitivity of the microphone. The position of the mic in the booth. How big the booth is. How reflective th...

I mean what on earth?! Now I get it: When the volume of your voice goes above a threshold there is a some harsh resonance . Possible causes of resonance ... Headphone leakage, (as an experiment try speaking at different volumes in the booth without headphones). Reflected sound within the booth, (tr...

I did a little reading and it seemed like possibly lowering his sample rate might do something, or is the problem with the mic do you think? It sounds like mechanical rather than digital noises, e.g...

weird modulation(?) on audio recording - please help!

If you mean the constant ~20Hz ripple, than can be removed with a rumble filter in Audacity ...

<20Hz is not audible, but you should remove it as it can interfere with processing.

Paul-L's free de-clicker plugin removes the worst of it ...

Manually removing each individual the click & pop with Audacity's spectral editing tools can produce a better result,
but will take an eternity.

Unfortunately mine doesn't have "Enable" buttons. Beats the heck out of me. When all else fails, it's time to read the manual....

Mine is version 2.3.0 , VST (not VST3) ...
