Adobe Audition CC

I'm just starting out as a voice over artist and use a USB Mic & Laptop to record into Audtion CC....Occasionally the quality is a little wispy / distorted. Can anyone advise on a solution for this please? I have a home based studio.

Thanks

Tony

      What sort of meter levels are you seeing on your audio recorded in Audition? Are you working on a PC or a Mac? The way USB mics are treated by the two different OS's may make a difference to how the audio from the mic gets routed via the audio drivers into Audition. Can you post a screen grab of Audition's Audio Hardware set up page so we can see how it is set up?

      Hi Ry

      Thanks for the reply

      I'm working on a HP Netbook Laptop.

      Levels are around 18 which as you can see from what I've just recorded  are ok

      I notice looking at your Audition Audio Hardware set up that the Input and Output sample rates don't match. The USB mic is 44.1kHz and your on board sound is 48kHz. This won't help your audio quality because one of them will have to be sample rate converted by Windows which is not a good idea. Since it appears that the USB mic is set to 44.1kHz it would be best if you made sure that Windows Sound is also set up to be 44.1kHz as well as Audition's settings.


      Thanks Ry

      Is it easy enough to change the output sample rate to 44.1kHz ?
