Roxio Audio Levels: Maxed Microphone Recording Levels: Maxed (100) Microphone Boost Levels: Maxed (30.0 dB) Windows Movie Maker Audio Levels: Default middle position @Misty, @Karuta, since you two helped me, I am tagging you. :) What does everyone think?
Levels sound good. Only thing I would recommend is moving away from the mic a few inches; when you stay too close, your breath is often picked up and creates a strange noise. Most people stay too close naturally.
Thanks, Misty! That sounds like an awesome idea! I will do that! Ironically, I made a comment about my breathing in the test, haha!
Alternatively he could get a wind screen so that breathing wouldn't be picked up but that's only if you'd be more comfortable talking closer into the mic. I actually found a pretty good DIY wind screen tutorial on YouTube. I've got an old Guitar Hero mic I might use this tutorial for (if I ever decide to start recording stuff). But yes, your levels should be fine if you just stay back a bit from the mic. -Snow Queen
