No problem Rusty. Another thing you may want to try is put something behind you. I also record at a desk and I used to have a slight echo problem and I experimented with an easle, some foam board, and a moving blanket drapped over and it made a big difference. I didn’t realize how much was slap back was getting to the wall behind me.

Hey Rusty,

You have a good level volume when you speak, but I would look at improving the audio quality. I hear electronic feedback during your words and in between, I would check if you hear those sounds after reviewing the raw recording, then listen again between processing steps to see what may be causing it. Sometimes an effect setting work one day, but you may find need adjustment the next time because they’re working too hard under new conditions.
Also watch for plosives, I caught one soft one at :12 and another at 1:01 in EOB.
There also appears to be an occasional creak or pop after a word like at :18 of EOB, maybe your chair is making noise.
You may also want to watch for occasional sibilance on your “S” there was a sharp one at :30 at the end of “scripts.” You can fix these sometimes by either lowering the decibel level on just that S, or sometimes just removing a small section of it and making sure it still sounds natural after. I didn’t hear any other spots that were particularly sibilant.

Aside from those bits, nice professional tone to your reads.

Hello everyone,
Below are two reads that I’d be interested in feedback on whether it be processing or technique.

Thanks
