DAW, Man!
Entering into the foray of voice acting, I am now saddled with the process of both recording and engineering my auditions. When it comes to editing a track, I am a self-proclaimed genius; however, I am not so great at engineering prowess. Trial and error is both my friend and my nemesis, more on the error, less on the trial.
Recently in recording, I’m finding that even with the EQ and noise gate filters is properly set, the recording still sounds to hot, so the obvious culprit is the gain setting. I will be playing around with this setting for the next few recording sessions. It’s important to get the gain correct while your recording than trying to fix it in post.
