Catcher in the Rye Voice Recording

I definitely noticed the sounds you mentioned when you were closer to the microphone, and the same thing happened during my recording. The sounds of me breathing or licking my lips became much more apparent when I was closer than farther away from the microphone. However, I disagree about the sounds from the farther distance being clearer; they seemed fuzzier and the contrast between tones of voice is much clearer and distinguished at the closer distance, and so it felt like you were speaking with more emotion when you were closer.

^I'm sorry, I meant that the closer recording was much clearer than the recording taking outside of the critical distance (the far recording)

I commented on the Lord of the Rings, The Death of Allegory, and the 1Q84 Recording.

I agree that there definitely was an absence of background noise in both recordings, I also agree that the close-up recording is much louder than the recording outside of the critical distance. In addition to loudness, there is more bass in your voice in the close-up.

While your comments seem to be correct, I find it interesting that your consonants still come through just as clearly in the out-of-critical-range recording as in the critical range recording. Your t's and s's at the ends of words are almost equally as sharp in both.

I agree with Kristen. That isn't the kind of observation I'd make on my own, but now that she points it out, it is an interesting fact. I found the way your further recording echoes to be rather interesting. Its almost like a 'perfect' reverb effect - in that very little information is lost, it doesn't sound distorted, it simply sounds reflected. By that count, I might even say your far recording actually makes for a more polished piece.
