Hi there everyone, Regardless of the type of content you produce when creating your course the one thing that is always important is high quality audio. So the question is what settings do you use before hand to get the best results from your audio. I will start with my setup- Microphone: Blue Yeti (USB Microphone) Editing Software: Audacity or Adobe Audition (Mainly Audacity) Microphone Accessories: Mic Cover Windscreen For Blue Yeti - To help dull background noises Pop Filter - To reduce unwanted S and P sounds reaching the mic Isolation shield - To heavily reduce background noise Microphone settings: Mode set to Cardioid Gain set to around 30% or around 10 o'clock if you use the clock method Software settings: Channel input set to mono Gain level set to 0.80 I often find that getting the gain levels just right for the environment you work in is one of the most important things you can do when setting your system up as it defines how much background noise you can potentially pick up.
