Hello

Forgive the dumb question, but I am new to this.
For audiobook production, I am using the following setup and was hoping that you folks could let me know if I have left something out in a "...but where is your xxxxx" kind of way.

I have a room that is isolated enough from outside noise, and inside it is acoustically treated as best as a newbie can do it, I suppose.

Equipment-wise I am running a 27" iMac with Logic Express and Adobe Audition, with Izotope RX 2.
Microphone is a Rode NT1A but I have a Neumann TLM 103 on the way.
The mic goes through an Apogee Duet 2, and I monitor using Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones or M-Audio BX5 speakers.

Suggestions on anything else I might need?

Thanking you in advance.
 
A way to turn pages with out them being heard is always a major production.
Be sure and learn proper microphone technique.
 
I have a pop filter :)

"Be sure and learn proper microphone technique."

Mouth-clicks are a pain for me. Just seems to be my natural sound!
Processing gets rid of most of it and the I tweak the rest.
I set the mic input for 44 on the Duet 2 and am about 6 - 8 inches from the mic.
Any lower on the Duet 2 and I have to really push the levels up in Audition once the recording is done.

Does that sound right or should the inputs be lower?
 
To start. I feel that you should be closer to the microphone ..... but that's just me.

Just experiment until you like what you have.
 
I just had a sit down.....it's more like 4 to 5 inches distance.

Bobbsy had some good advice on removing the sibilance from this recording, but I will attach the link here again as it may give you a better impression of how close I am to the mic.



Thank you all again for your advice.
