QUALITY SOUND Part 2 VITAL RECORDING SET-UP

Greater detail of the importance of sound in how my recording set up is arranged & all the steps.  When there are technical concerns or challenges it does throw off the focus for voicing ,now is the set up that is ready for auditioning, recording a voice-over project, or podcast episode.
   
My recording system is on my Mac, it is GARAGE Band. Open Garage Band looking for my podcast template. Already has my intro. Firstly in the GB settings i will click on AUDI/MIDI & make sure output device is on External Headphones & input device is on krisp mic.

The black apple ... very top of my Mac far left hand corner. Click on system settings to see the sound output is on  External Headphones ...
 
Sound is controlled  by the Behringer audio interface &converts microphone  signals into a format my mac and recording system software recognizes. The interface also routes audio from my mac out to my speakers and recording system. Check the recording settings   0 dB means that you are right at the threshold of human hearing. A positive dB means that the sound is a few times louder than the threshold, while a negative dB means that you are a few times softer than that threshold.

 Hearing threshold is the sound level below...

Bottom half of GB to the far left in the recording settings. Below recording settings you will see record level. Check  the volume...
 At the top of that lower 1/2 u will see buttons of Track, Master, & Compare. Track & Compare will show as Blue Buttons now click on Master & it will show as a blue button & to the far right you will see blue buttons of EFFECTS, OUTPUT , & EQ,  make sure all those switches are off so there is no echo. When u click on EQ be sure that the line is flat with no variations.

Up to the top left hand corner & click on the scissors, the wave form of sound  & being able edit. We can do a sound test  to make sure the wave form is large enough  & shows in green at the top left where you set the volume button  for reasonable volume at minus 0.1DB.
