covered with moving blankets from home depot
My Home Depot didn’t have the blankets, but the Harbor Freight did.
I went looking for “furniture pads” and the signs sent me to those little sticky fabric things you put on the table’s feet so they don’t mar the polished wooden floor. No cigar.
I can listen to a story in that voice. In my opinion it has just enough breathing to prove you’re human without gasping or rasping. Good interpretation and theatrical expression. I didn’t hear any background noise problems. That doesn’t have a noise gate, right? You’re doing all this with a good studio and gentle noise reduction?
And no dogs?
Essing.
You do have a little crisp Essing. Punched SS sounds. You may decide to go with it the way it is. It’s not a job killer (in my opinion).
It’s rough to see in Timeline Spectrogram view, but it’s a more obvious in Analyze > Plot Spectrum.
You have the Essing Haystack.
That bump on the right is not natural and some microphones do that because it’s “more professional.” It’s not tone controls and it’s not equalization. It’s a dynamic effect, so it’s a little rough to suppress without throwing a blanket on everything else. I applied Trebor’s DeSibilator.
At these settings.
And this is the new track.
Some microphones have gritty, harsh, piercing Essing that’s hard to listen to, but yours is probably good without any corrections.
