I've cleaned up hundreds of hours of tape recordings, admittedly the easy stuff like humm, clicks, airplanes overhead, etc. So I'm still a totally nube, but I don't even know exactly what it's called when it's like the microphone is too close to their mouth and there is a reverb harshness to each word.

Hi all, I am new around here.
First a quick who am I.
I work for a local radio station in Queensland Australia, I am the Drive producer. I have always worked in sound somehow or another, growing up I taught guitar at the local music store.

My question is, I am fairly new to recording sound outdoors, and wind is becoming a real pain in the backside.

Hi guys,

I'm stepping into voice-over work and am considering options for recording at home. I already have a Shure PG58, but when testing with Garageband it doesn't sound too good. It's connected directly to my macbook via XLR female / standard jack male cable (quite long), then thru a 3.5mm adapter to the microphone line-in input.

A few issues:

i'm amateur software developer, and i'm writing a program that will "read" given text. i record phonemes, one-by-one, but because i don't record them in studio (actually i'm recording them at home, with sh*tty microphone), every .wav file has different amplitude, frequency, etc, and after gluing, it sounds terrible. what can i do?

I am going to be doing some mic testing shortly. I joked in another thread that it would only be on guitars, as there is not a mic in the world that could flatter my singing voice enough to tell if it was any good.
