Help with Audio Problem?
Please listen to the attached file (it's just 10 seconds) and let me know your thoughts.
The first three seconds are the end of the canned intro. The last six seconds are the beginning of a particular episode. The sound in this second part is bad, and I don't know why.
I'm using an MXL V57M microphone with pop filter and foam mic cover in a foam sound box, a Behringer 1204FX mixer, and an inexpensive HP desktop computer with the stock sound card. I record with Adobe Audition 1.5, and the levels looked good when I recorded.
The mixer uses a USB port, not the computer audio input jack, and the first part was recorded with the exact same setup but a different microphone.
Any thoughts on what's going on here?
Thanks!

I am not an engineer, but one thing that comes to mind: Do you have a bad mic cable?

I solved my problem.
I unplugged and cleaned all the connectors, then re-recorded the program. It sounded fine.
Then I ran it through Levelator, and guess what - the fuzziness was back!
So the problem was with Levelator, not my equipment.
Guess I won't use Levelator any more.
ARG!

Dan did you ever take care of the problem? I was having similar issues using AA 1.5 as well but I think I found out what the problem was. It wasn't my mic or anything, it had to do with the processing of the voice file after recording. I think it was too much compression. Let me know if you fixed it and I will give you some thoughts...

Luis, it sounded fine before I ran it through Levelator. So I just don't run it through Levelator anymore!
You can hear what I sound like now by clicking on the top show here:
