Distance From Center - Sound Test (I am in the closet)

[Horton]

@Horton, I think the biggest issue is the volume difference between you and your guests.

 

Seems like you are turned up to a three while everyone else goes to 11.

 

You should probably stay in the closet........

[Jordan]

Oh @Horton In this day and age please feel free to come out of the closet! Too obvious?

[dvskier]

It sounds great to me. Much improved.

[andjules]

It's a bit better. I think it's more about the type-of-mic + distance-from-mic combo. Are you using a shotgun mic? If not, you may need to bring the mic closer unless it's a very directional mic. You might want to try a cheap lavalier (label) mic (which isn't directional, but is positioned so close to the speaker's mouth that it sounds more natural).

[Horton]

@andjules yes shotgun. I own a few cheap lavalier mics and they all suck donkey.

 

For now this is the way it is going to sound.

[bishop8950]

Still crap. We all thought it was the room/gear but maybe it’s just you and your voice? Hopeless?

 

 

[bishop8950]

Haha. Closet is better.

[Horton]

Seems @bishop8950 hates everyone.

Even if the audio does not improve, the hand puppets will be a great addition!

[aspski]

I turned the volume on youtube and my computer to max, still very quiet.

[igkya]

Sound is better but @Horton needs to eliminate the 'diffusion' for the shadow puppets.

Whenever you decide to really come out of the closet please keep it to yourself

As was mentioned before...I think the biggest issue was just the volume difference. Somewhere in your software (or any outboard equipment you may have in line) there is a level control....just bring your mic up a little. There is less room reflections in the closet, which is good, but it wasn't terrible before.

Can you straighten the backdrop or iron the table cloth. the crooked lines are distracting. Otherwise I can hear you fine.

[Horton]

Sometimes I think I just need to ban you all

[Bill22]

Horton that sounded fine. No problem with volume too low here.

[DaveLemons]

Who gives a shit. Just grateful for what you do. Is it perfect ... no but if I can hear it it isnt that bad to start with.

[chris55]

It sounds great !!!! Thank's anyway for what you do

[ALPJr]

Maybe try your living room?

[Chef23]

I thought it was better.
