I use the RE20 for almost all of my long form narration and audiobook recordings. However as it was mentioned, it takes a ton of clean gain. I run mine RE20>>Cloudlifter>>Symetrix 528E>>Lexicon Alpha to Computer. I have used it with my DBX286A and the 528E, without the Cloudlifter, and find...

Try to get away from the door. The farther away from that backstop/reflector, the better. If you have an extra moving blanket to pleat and hang in front of the door, it would help absorb a little. When I used my closet as a booth, I usually left the door opened behind me. But you may have extra...

Drcane, Save your money and forego the "foam". You need sound absorption. So save your money and do a proper acoustic treatment. The closet booth was my original recording studio too, so I understand 'it'll have to do until....." For ideas of what is possible, watch the video in the "Hearing...

I also record audiobooks and am just curious: Does your audiobook producer require you to apply these effects as part of their specs for the delivered audio? Dale

Rose, This may not address your extraneous noise problem. But, have you tried Twisted Wave? It's designed for Mac and used by many professional VO talents, due to its power and simplicity. Download the demo and test drive it for 30 days. If you like it, it's cheap ($79). George Whittam highly...

Rose, Are you applying those effects (Master Echo, EQ, etc) while recording, in real time? Or afterwards, while editing your recorded AIFF file? Dale

Although it doesn't sound like any router I've ever heard pinging the network, do you have a wireless network router close to your workstation? Dale

I inferred from the context that the audio you posted was only the Mackie, without the 166 in the chain (mic>>Mackie>>DAW). I can hear the hiss when you normalized the audio. When you plugged the mic into channel two and recorded, did you get the same results? I couldn't find any drivers...

Flo, There are many variables in your set up that may be causing the hiss. I cannot make suggestions without more info on your gear, levels, room design/treatment, and how you have it connected. However IMHO, you have more outboard gear than you need for audiobook recording. Every additional...

Here are some samples posted by Potsy24, when he completed his cap mods to a 990: https://homerecording.com/bbs/special-forums/diy-mods-and-homebrew/mxl-990-mod-comparison-shootout-341930/6/#post3868693

Nola, I cannot help you create the beats. However in video 1, watching closely, I think I can see her singing that swoosh-sound that accompanies her hard downbeat on the guitar. I think you are overthinking the Second video. That clip is from O' Brother Where Art Thou. It's the chain gang...

Are you using XLR to XLR for the mic connection? Are you using the front, Chan2/mic controller to adjust the mic gain, and "barely audible" as in the headphones, or in Reaper? Did you load the Lexicon Alpha drivers so Reaper can see the Alpha? Alpha Driver v2.7 (Windows) | Lexicon Pro -...

I use the CL-1 for both my SM-7B and EV RE20, into a Symetrix 528E. Clean gain and quiet for audiobook recording. Dale

Great find DM.

Grant, A few years back, I was a SysOp for a massive multiplayer online flight simulation game. We used TeamSpeak for comms. You can set up separate channels for the players to connect, while the Admin can hop between channels. It requires setting up the software on a server that allow the...

Kearns, I created a mix-minus Skype patch using my mixer and the Corey Snow-method referenced in this article. However, this article may provide a solution WANT A SIMPLE PHONE PATCH? USE SKYPE AND A TABLET Dale

Deleted- I re-read the OPs last statement.. Dale

MJ, I saw that. The article triggered my inner-geek, to find out more information on Physics.org Researchers achieve near-perfect absorption of sounds waves They can cancel a series of freqs now. Maybe their next step is to create a parametric version. Imagine the possibilities.... hmmmmmm Dale
