`youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmWC1vInUrA`
### Goal: Figure out what I want to use for my audio setup √
End result:
- SM58 wins over H5 - With Noise Suppression - With Compressor - Without High Pass filter - With Pop Screen
### Test Notes
Here's the test notes:
Songs played during the tests:
- Doctor Momentum (lounder) - Deep Mind (sofer)
This shows how much I need to setup a playlist where songs have a consistent volume. Maybe there's a way to automate that?
When the Filters are active, this is there settings:
- Noise Suppression: -30dB
- Compressor: - Ratio: 10.00:1 - Threshold: -18dB - Attach 6ms - Release 60ms - Output Gain: 0dB - Sidechain/Ducking Source: None
