Hi friends :) I bought a cloudlifter to use with my EV RE20 and focusrite 3rd gen solo and now I'm hearing what seem to be very faint radio signals. Some basic googling says this might be an issue with my XLR cables? I currently use this kind of cable (Tourtek Pro TPM), do you think that is...

Not really a home recording question, but I figured you guys would have good recommendations. I'm looking for some discrete headphones (so not gigantic) with decent bass that I can bring to work. Can be over ear headphones or in-ear/airpod style. Bluetooth preferred but wired is fine, too. Would...

I have a Scarlett Focusrite Solo Gen 3 interface for voice over/voice acting work. Its fine, but I'm not really happy with it. It makes a weird clicking noise from time to time that I've tried everything to solve and the gain knob is really hard to work with. I'm doing a live streaming project...

I'm fully stumped on this one. I noticed my interface was making a clicking noise (not what you hear here, just a little blip noise) and my cord management isn't the best so I untangled all my cords and got them all straightened out and separated from each other. The clicking went away but this...

Hello friends, long time no talk. :) I'm thinking of finally getting a LDC mic for my voice over work (I currently use an EV RE20) and am seriously looking at the Rode NT2-A and AKG C414. I'm not particularly on a budget, I'm hoping to get something that will be a "forever" mic. I was...

Hey everyone, I've posted a bunch about doing voice over. I'm not like a character actress with a bunch of voices, but I do do audiobooks as well as some other projects where it is requested that I do at least two different characters. Curious if anyone could recommend any programs/plugins for...

I'm not planning on making any purchases any time soon, but I would like to add a nice large diaphragm condenser mic to my arsenal as many clients require one and currently I only have dynamic cardioid mics (A shure SM58 I never use anymore and an EV RE20 that is my main mic now) I was looking...

I have an EV RE20 and a focusrite scarlett solo interface and I'd like to start doing live streaming. From watching other live streams I see that people are able to put on a noise gate for live streaming among other things. How does this work? Is this a program I need to download? How can I do...

So I'm editing an audiobook and the way that I do it is that I completely eliminate background noise and breaths from my vocal track and then I lay a room noise track under it. I do this because its way easier to work with the vocal track if I don't have to worry about making the room noise...

I’m on voice over tiktok and just curious what this mic is. Photo attached. Thanks!

So I'm working on editing an audiobook that has some very dramatic scenes where characters are yelling at each other. I'm hesitant to post a clip since it isn't released yet but I have a screenshot that shows the variability. I've done plenty of audiobooks but none with parts where raising my...

I'm working on an audiobook with a female werewolf character. The author specified that in werewolf form she speaks in "otherworldly trills". Right now in the recording I'm trying to do my best monster voice, but I'm not super happy with it. What would you suggest doing to make her sound like...

I don't really know anything about different voice effects... I have a commission where someone wants it to sound like its a voicemail. How would you go about that? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I currently have a Scarlett Focusrite Solo 3 gen and an EV RE20 for voice over work (thinking of buying the Neumann u87ai sometime in the next year or two). I feel like I have a decent grasp on microphone differences and quality but I have zero idea what makes a good interface, what I should...

Hello audio daddys This weird noise started appearing on my recordings today. I dicked around with all my cords, unplugging and plugging back in and moving them further away from each other, which is the extent of my troubleshooting knowledge and did nothing to help. thoughts on what might...

I do audiobook narration and its generally good practice to silence/reduce breaths and then shorten the gaps by at least 30%. My current process for audiobook processing is to create a duplicate of my vocal track and the apply a noise gate to one of them set at the average RMS amplitude to cut...

After normalizing, adding compression, deesser, and noise reduction I'm left with a small rustling noise, heard here under the words "welcome back" and "like the ultra heavy" and "military". Is this a mic technique issue? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hey besties I figured y’all would know how to fix this (see pic) what do I do? Also why are the Sony MDR7506 cords 25 feet long? Thank you in advance 👏

Hey guys I've posted here before about the fact that I do adult voice acting work. People often want SFX/foley work involved and for the most part I can figure it out or find something on a sound effect site. Things like creaky beds, ass smacking, etc Sigh... you guys are going to love this...

I recently posted about upgrading from a Shure SM58 to an EV RE20 for voice over. I really like the EV RE20 overall and will keep using it, but I do think some of the nuance is lost with it and most VO most people recommend a condenser mic, so I'm thinking of adding one to my gear collection...
