you can hear a pin drop

And even if YOU can’t hear it, your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) will! Before first efforts at recording in my booth, I had little idea of extreme preparations and equipment necessary to eliminate even the most obscure environmental noises, and to capture quality audio; narration in my case. Recording software produces a “waveform” graphic on the computer screen. Zooming in on the graphic for what I think is the most pristine performance, the noise detection does not lie. You would think someone had driven a Mack truck through our house during my recording session. I hate to say it; sometimes shutting down the AC is what it takes to assure my software does not register what I’m sure it thinks is a hurricane! Needless to say, as Florida daytime temps continue to rise, this audiobook narrator will only be found in the booth before sun up!
