My Mic is Jumping Randomly in Audition

Question

Hi im new to audition forums. My name is Dax and I just started a podcast so thought I use auditon.

My question is when I record with my

Blue Microphones Snowball iCE (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B014PYGTUQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

My audio jumps and completly changes sound at some points. Let me get some examples

In my podcast listen to the audio at timestamp 2:00

Compared to audio at 29:10

I find there is a wierd echo sound. on my mic (im the guy with the headband and green shirt)

I also had issues with delay. I shot the audio in audition, and video on my camera. Synced them at the start but then as I watched later in the video the audio became 1 second out of sync.

Idk if anyone knows whats happening. It could just be cause I have trash 60 dollar usb mics but let me know if you do thank you.

Can't tell anything, because there is no link to your podcast - just a link to a microphone on amazon. What you actually did was align the mic and camera at the start, but you definitely didn't sync them - because if you had, you wouldn't have this issue. Unfortunately there's no way of syncing the mic and the camera - that requires a direct sync connection between them and that facility only comes on pro cameras, and there are some complications with using it anyway.

What goes wrong is that the clock signal in the mic, and the clock signal coming from your camera are very slightly in error. This is normal; there's a tolerance allowed and the amount of drift you are talking about is quite reasonable over half an hour, being about 0.055%. Some sample rates are actually difficult to arrive at - for instance, 44.1k samples generated with reference to the USB clock (which is what you need to do with a USB mic) always comes out with about 0.04% error anyway, because of the awkward numbers involved.

As for your wierd sound - well, we can't comment until we've heard it.
