Man, thanks for the continued discussion guys. Sorry for the long absence. I was out of town all weekend and just got around to getting back over here. I should clarify something I worded poorly in my previous post. I didn't originally have the mic pointed at the ceiling. I moved it to the...

So I did try that last night as I was setting up. I couldn't tell much difference, but in monitoring or in playback. I do have the mic positioned oddly though, to make room for my hands and such, so I had it either pointed up at the ceiling or down at the table. But in both scenarios, the...

So, sadly, $800-$1,000 isn't in the budget for those two mics. I'll do some googling of this question, but any quick suggestions of roughly similar mics that are $50-$100 ish? Perhaps I'll have to live with the current set-up until the higher end mics are an affordable purchase. Maybe I can...

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. I've always liked the vocal results of those mics (esp the MXL), but I've been disappointed with their use as a spoken word mic (the AT 2020 has performed better than expected, though.) I've been hesitant to move to a dynamic mic because I'm worried that it...

Thanks for the interesting thoughts guys. Really appreciate the help on this. I have to confess, I'm not too sure how to go about de-essing using a comp or EQ, but I can google and read up on that. Setup is pretty good, esp for podcasting. MXL 770 (for me) and an AT 2020 (other host) into a...

Looking for guidance on a de-esser for spoken word/podcast. I know usually people would say to de-ess through editing, but for spoken word, and weekly episodes that amount to 1.5-2 hours of content each week, that's not really an option. Is there a plugin that anyone would recommend? For some...

Well, I listened to it and it sounds like there's a host of things to consider here. Given the dynamic range of his natural speaking voice, monitoring might make the problem worse unless you can feed him enough volume to hear himself well. If he doesn't get enough volume out of his headphones...

Doesn't he listen back to his own recording? If so, you could just emphasize why those things he hears are happening. Although maybe he realizes there's a problem and just doesn't know what the issues are. In which case you're back to square one on the monitoring.
