I sit down with Jennifer Houseal to explore the challenges of urban noise on voiceover recordings. We delve into her musical theater background, initial success in a suburban closet, and the technical hurdles faced after moving to L.A.
Discover Jennifer’s relentless quest to eliminate noise using star quad cables, Faraday fabric, and even moving within her building for a quieter space. Find out how I navigated an apartment move due to a noisy neighbor, tested new spaces with quad cables, and employed RF shielding methods like metallic-thread curtains and Schoongite stickers.
We share insights into our current setups, featuring tools like Sennheiser 416 microphones, Audient ID4 interfaces, iZotope RX 11, and the importance of mouth click removal. Plus, get practical tips on cooling techniques, essential acoustic treatments, and innovative products like alien tape for audio tiles. Tune in for a comprehensive guide on mastering a professional-grade home recording environment.
