    Hi Veronica,

    Could you please share with us a link to the sample (dropbox, google drive, soundcloud etc..)?

    Oh, I thought I did attach it... Here it is...

    I think I know what the issue may be. My mic settings Input is way too High. So I am dependent too much on normalization. But what are your thoughts?

    Unfortunately, the sample does have a few issues:

    -It sounds quite boxy, it sounds as if it was recorded in a very small (but acoustically untreated) room.

    -Some parts of the audio sound distorted, this could be caused by applying too much gain on the microphone. 

    -Audio quality is a bit degraded due to the use noise reduction software or a low quality mic. 

    Hope that helps,

    -Seb

    Thank you, it does... 

     

    -  Does this sound better? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LEfzf9YEHrvbncmiEwl_dCf9fpCA_zvW . I am open to hearing your suggestions on how to acoustically treat a closet and mics that are better quality(but not expensive) thanks!

    Just FYI:

    • I do use a CAD U37 USB(I keep it 2 ft away from my computer) on Twisted Wave recording Software
    • I do this in my coat closet, with blankets stapled to the walls and my mic is between two pillows as well.
    • I also turned my Mic Input audio way down and adjusted the Noise reduction dB on Audacity.

    It does sound better than the previous sample but there are still some audible reflections/boxiness in your recording. Have a look at this post for some general tips on improving acoustics: https://goo.gl/vGqUIW
