Hi all,
Major newbie here. I recently purchased my first microphone (Shure SM58) to record a podcast. I posted a week or go when mixing the last episode and was given the feedback to get closer to the mic. With the episode I'm mixing now, I'm wondering what I can do to avoid these audio spikes on my "s"s. Is there anything I can do mixing wise to make them a little easier on the ears, or is it all going to be in my mic technique? Right now I have the mic at a 45 degree angle from my mouth, with a pop filter, about 4-5 inches away from my mouth. This clip is with 10:1 compression at -20db threshold (I was given the feedback to compress at 20:1 ratio but Audacity only goes up to 10:1, which definitely sounds better than the 3:1 I was doing before).
Short clip (I'm too new to post links, sorry for the annoying format):

Thank you!
