Hey there,
a wonderfull good day to all of you. As the headline might be missunderstood - I am rly sure my problem is not according to Mike’s presets. Maybe its me, maybe I do not use them right (checked the tutorials) etc.
I’ve got some questions and need your opinion:
1. My first question is according the routing, as Mike descriped in his tutorials that each voice channel is routed tot he Voice FX Channel.
Well my „Voice processed“ channel seems not to be routed. But if I change Effects in the Voice FX, I also hear a difference in the „Voice processed“ Channel. To get me right, thats totally ok, but I do not know why the „voice processed“ channel does not show its routing.
2. My second question is according to the usage of the effects.
In Mikes tutorial I see, that Mike has effects on each Channel. Voice processed, Voice EQ etc. But then, I saw, that the effects are also on Voice FX (which each channel is routed to). That means, that these effects will be „executed“ 2 times. Does that not mean that the voice becomes „unclear and dirty?“ As I opened the preset the first time, the effects were not assigned to each channel – only to Voice FX. So which one is right?
3. My third question is according to the settings of the dynamik processor.
As you can see the graph looks equal. But the values have huge differences. How ist hat possible? Also I have big trouble to set up the values as I have to calibrate by mouse. Is there any opportunity I can set these values by typing in these?
The quality of my voice
Before we are discussing you might want to know which equipment I have. It is the Rode Broadcaster (arround 320 EUR) and the mixer Yamaha MG10XU (arround 200 EUR). I totally agree that this is not like a Neumann TLM 103 in combination with a good interface and a dbx. But it is also not a „poor“ Equipment. Should reach a higher quality with it.
As you might know, the Yamaha has the oppurtunity to set up Comp and EQ BEFORE the signal go into my pc. I have set them to very careful settings. Here you can hear an example. Also I will include a screenshot oft he settings.
Now we go to the „Jingle part“. Again, I totally agree that my result is not able to mess with mikes result but the quality I got is just „loud“ (and sometimes clipping …with hard limiter?!) . Also my voice sounds robotic on channel voice processed. Even if you are not speak german, you hear the quality of the file.

Seetings are Mikes Settings - no effects in voice processed, just in VOICE FX.
What I want to reach is somethink like this:

I would love to get your opinions and recommendations. Also it would be fantastic if you could help me to reach the best possible quality.
