Thanks for the tips. We all have some good mics and pop-filters. We even bought new mics after starting. Two of us have Audio-Technica ATR2100 mics that are used all the time in professional settings. I set my levels each time, and run all tracks through normalizing and clip filtering. I’m using audacity. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Are there any plugins that you know that would do this better that? We are trying to get better, and it isn’t always the same host doing the editing. If you know of some useful resources that we can use that would be most helpful.
I usually listen in my car, so I don’t notice the speaker issue as it doesn’t seem that bad in there. I’m not sure why it is okay there. Maybe my care tries to normalize the sound.
. I think the issue right now is that its not always the same person doing the edit. We trade back and forth depending on who has time. We’re working on making that process more consistent going forward.
It made Anna sound insane for taking forever to respond and then laughing randomly and Chris and José sound rude for talking over her before she finished speaking.
