So in some of the wiki helps, I saw some advice for mics and Audacity, which was largely, Turn them both up. I have a Blue Yeti, which of course, has its own gain control. I keep it at about halfway for other applications I am using, but in Audacity, if I turn the mic level all the way up (and worse yet my fair Yeti), the sound is through the roof. I know that people read at different levels and what not, but for those of you Yeti/Audacity users, do you have a general 'magic' spot for them?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2019. Can use it to record in Audacity and so forth. The Blue Yeti will not work on USB 3.0 ports. I have a MBP 13' late 2012 running Sierra 10.12.2, a Blue Yeti Pro and Screenflow simultaneously on two monitors.

1. Get Close To The Mic No, Closer! Most people record way too far away from their microphone. Ideally, your mouth should be about a fist’s space away from the mic when you speak into it, and the gain on the mic (the dial on the back, if you’re using a Blue Yeti) or your recording software should be adjusted so that when you speak at that distance, the sound registers around -12dB.
2. I use a Blue Yeti. I have Audacity set to full volume and the Yeti in the middle of its range. I watch the wave form in Audacity as I record and tend to keep it fairly even. I do however, use the control on the microphone when I encounter a dialogue that I know I'm going to get extra loud (or quiet, tho that happens less often) with.

I generally do a test before I record, but once I've worked my way into my groove, I find that I am actually recording just slightly quieter than I need to and have to amplify in Audacity. I'm a newbie to LibriVox and would love to not have to amplify the sound after every recording. It's not really distorting anything noticeably at this point (very slight amplification), but, I don't know, do people find that they have to do some amplifying/leveling often or every once in a while?

Speaking louder into the microphone is the number one thing that will make your voices less quiet.
Being confident in your delivery and speaking as loud as your character would be in their current situation is what will help you project your voice and make it clear and distinct.

As well I know a useful trick that should do you wonders. It's an Effect called Noise Removal.
It will remove the background noise of recordings so you can increase the volume of your voice without making room noise super obvious.

I'll go through it step by step.

-Before you do a recording, hit the record button and let your microphone record for about five seconds without saying anything at all.

-After this period of time, do your recording as you usually would.

Mac update 10.11. -Highlight the time where you didn't say anything.

-Go to Effects and select Noise Removal.

-A menu will pop up, from here click 'Get Noise Profile'

(Now Audacity recognizes the background noise that your mic is picking up)

-Select the track your recording is on.

-Go to effects and click on 'Repeat Noise Removal' (it should be at the top)

-Listen to your recording again, if you can still hear the background noise, click 'Repeat Noise Removal'.
Repeat as necessary.

(WARNING! If you said anything at all during the silence period, Audacity will remove certain frequencies of your voice from the recording, which will result in you glitchy and unusual) Os catalina macbook pro 2012.

Your recording should now be mostly clear of background noise, this will allow you to increase the amplitude of your recording without making the background noise super obvious.
Keep in mind that a good delivery is the best way to get good volume.
