Posting removed?
Hello help bunnies,
is there a specific reason why my posting from 31/05/2018 has been removed?
I just asked friendly about my rejected audition sample which seemed ok apart the fact
that I didn't normalize. So the volume was too low.
I also uploaded the file again and as comparison the updated normalized file.
If I broke a forum rule with it then just let me know...
Regards
Alex

HI, Alex
Not sure why the other post got removed, but I was able to read it. That Geffel is a great mic (one of my personal favorites for female voices). However, listening to your audition there is a bit too much background hiss/white noise. This could be coming from the preamp or even from the mic as tube/valve mics can have more noise. I would try going straight to the babyface and see if that helps on that regard.
In terms of volume, we recommend normalizing to -3dB, but it's not a strict rule.
Looking forward to new samples. Make sure you post a link to Dropbox, wetransfer, SoundCloud, etc...

Hi Alex!
I was able to see the other post normally. I actually responded to it. Maybe there was a networking issue with the other post! I'm sorry for the inconveniences. I posted my comments there, but let's keep the communication here as Seb already replied
Hi Angela,
no worries. Didn't understand it first and thought it was removed.
Anyway, I re-recorded the audition clip and the spectral analyzer says only good news.
The recording is totally raw. Just normalized. If you want to listen:

Hi, Alex
There is still a lot of electrical noise/hiss. You can clearly hear it in the first second of the recording. This post might point you in the right direction regarding hiss: https://goo.gl/nlaCvU.
It sounds like there something in the recording chain causing it but it's hard to tell which of the elements is the culprit.

Hi Alex!
I agree with Seb with the hiss noise. It's quite present all over but it's much more clear in the first area. Can you try recording without the preamplifier and going straight to your interface? Also, do you have another mic that you can try and see if the hiss may be coming from it?
We look forward to your new file!
