I'm trying to get an announcing-style vocal track down, and I realized that the voice itself sounds much better/more powerful when I record slightly over a foot away from the mic (I've got a LOUD voice that doesn't quite get its full representation when any closer). Unfortunately, I'm recording with a 200$ USB mic, so the sound pick-up isn't TOO tip-top, and I'm left with a slight echo due to the room acoustics, making it sound a little shower-esque.
I know a recording booth would be the practical solution, but this particular room is the only room I can do any recording, the booth would have to wait quite awhile. So I'm just wondering if there's a feature on Cool Edit that can reduce or smooth out that shower-ish acoustic sound? Or if anyone has any other possible solutions?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
