I've probably said it a zillion times already, but thank you duffyweber! I probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out without your help. If there's anything I can do to return the favour, please let me know. - Brittany Ann You're entirely welcome! I hope it's going a lot more smoothly for you now! ^_^ Also, no need to return any favors, just keep being an awesome VA, and if you ever get the chance, help someone else out. When VAs help each other, we ALL get better. Cheers!

I have a tad bit of room in my apartment and I just got a Blue Snowball Microphone any tips on countering reverb or unnecessary echo? Via either manual labor setup or audacity/adobe audition editing? Thanks.

Thanks. Sorry for a late response! An apartment, eh? Hmmm... Position yourself near a wall or other quiet, solid vertical structure. Preferably a structural wall, with brick or concrete, and not just a drywall partition. If you don't have foam, line the thing by hanging up a thick quilt or something (a dowel rod and some string, and you can hang up a lovely one like a tapestry.) Here's a common mistake. DO NOT FACE the wall. The mic's sweet spot is the side you address it from. If the mic faces the room it will pick up all the room noise. Stand with your back to the soundproof surface. (Likewise, the mic's backside is its "rejection axis" so point the back of the mic at the noisiest part of the room) If possible, also set up some sort of screen in front of you (hang another quilt on a tall rack/pvc structure. Easily taken down when you're not using it. Rugs underfoot help, if the floor is hardwood. Good rule of thumb, if you can hear your voice bounce, so can the mic. Best of luck! = )
