..? The audio is good on my end, and I do have an XLR mic? Would you like me to send it another way or another recording? It's possible the file corrupted? I made sure levels were in the -24db to -18db range per industry standard. I could up the gain as well on the original to help, as that shouldn't affect quality. Edit: I'm not sure to what you're referring, but I opened the file once more, checked the levels/gain/line-in, and several other things and cannot see where any volume issues would come into play? I will submit an additional take, but I do possess an XLR-microphone, wind/pop filter, echo/sound absorber/shield, as well as mounts to prevent reverb and proper in-line audio feedback to listen to my recording as I perform. What about the recording indicated I was use anything else? Edit 2: I have submitted a second time, encoded with .wav to ensure lossless playback and no compression, increased gain levels. The first voice may be the reason you're assuming I'm using a USB mic or otherwise? There are 2 voices in the recording I attempted. Is there anything in either that speaks to it being poor-quality?
