voiceover recording

[catmen]

Hello, I use audacity for a voiceover which will later be used in Adobe Premiere Elements 14 video editting. I use a RØDE Podcaster (attachement) , but I have a problem with the playback of the recording that sounds like I'm talking into a tin pail who can tell me how I can adjust the settings or possibly effects to prevent this because the sound recording is completely not good and not really usable.
thanks,
catmen

... I have a problem with the playback of the recording that sounds like I'm talking into a tin pail ...

An example would be useful, see how to attach sound to a post here ... http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=72887

Try unchecking (unticking) software playthrough.

If you are in a small room you have to stop the sound which bounces off the walls getting to the microphone.

The attachement.
I use an plopfilter (screen before the micro)
Thx

That sound like a good recording to me, no "tin pail" effect when I play it on my machine.

It could be that your computer's sound-card is applying a pseudo-stereo/3D/reverb effect, so when you play any audio it adds a "tin pail" effect.

If that is the case the "tin pail" effect will also occur with store-bought audio , not just home-made recordings.

It sounds like a natural voice here, too. Can you play the sound on something else like a personal music player?

This is a simple left-right stereo sound test I recorded. I'm not a performer, but it does sound human.

This is how I found a computer was "helping me out" by adding effects. The Left only and Right only parts of the test failed. The opposite speaker wasn't silent like I recorded it.

OK thanks for the response, I will try again with the same text.
If I do not obtain the correct result, I'll be back.
