Equipment help
Starting earlier today my submissions have been rejected on account of this: "It sounds as if the audio was not recorded with professional equipment. Please ensure you are using a professional microphone and equipment to record properly."
However, it has been fine in the past. So, I am wondering, what could have changed to cause this?
I am also wondering if there are good mic suggestions by the community to meet these professional standards. Thanks!

Hi Cara,
Could you please share the link of that project with me, please?
And regarding equipment, what mic do you have?
We've found that a good mic for our pros is the AudioTechnica AT2035
Hope this helps
Hello!
Thanks for the advice. I currently have an AT2020, but I've been planning on the AT2035 for a while now. Is there any way the mic should be set up to maximize the audio quality?
Thanks.
Those mics would be good for the technical part, but remember, it's not only about the microphone, but it's also about your acoustic environment and processing too.
Regarding acoustics, you will find this article very helpful: https://help.bunnystudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203461624-Tip-5-Basic-acoustic-treatment-is-not-rocket-science
Now for processing, we recommend no compression only normalization, you could use a mild noise gate, but we suggest using fades for silence between phrases.
I hope this helps
