While I didn't listen to the whole thing, I really heard no echo!

Subject: Issues with Mic Echo

Hi everyone.  Apologies if this post strays off-topic - I believe it's relevant 
to the list so I've put it here but I guess it might be debatable.

I've been setting up to work in audiobook narration and I recently made a demo 
recording.  One of the bits of feedback that I got suggested that there was 
echo on the recording, even though I deliberately purchased the Fame Mic 
Reflexion Screen Pro Set to prevent this from happening.  Also, despite using a 
wind screen (pop shield), there are occasional popping sounds.

Personally, although I can hear the pops, I can't tell that there is any echo, 
but this may be because my ears simply aren't finely tuned.
I'd be grateful if anyone who has the time and inclination could please listen 
to the file and tell me whether or not there appears to be echo and how I might 
be able to correct issues with both the echo and the popping ... bearing in 
mind that I'm using products to reduce both (perhaps there are positional 
issues or something else?).
Additionally, although I know it's not an audio-related question related to 
this list, if anyone would be kind enough to give feedback on the quality (or 
lack of quality) of the narration itself that would also be much appreciated.

If anyone is happy to assist, the file can be found at

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Take care, Danny

Danny,

I listened with headphones thinking that would be the best way to detect a 
subtle echo.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hi Steve.  Thank you for taking the time to listen and respond.

I'm afraid I wasn't given any more info on the issue but I was
surprised that such an issue was raised.  Out of interest, did you
listen with or without headphones (or both)?

Many thanks - take care.

Danny

RE: Issues with Mic Echo

2017-04-21 Thread Steve Jacobson 
Danny,

I listened to the attached file and did not hear any echo nor did I observe any 
noticeable popping.  In particular, I noticed the letter "P" in the word 
"example" and that seemed to have been handled fine.  I wonder what sort of 
echo was observed?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
