Did you self publish "The Girl Who Can Cook"? Also, props on seemingly producing your own audiobook version. During your wife's narrations, is she "off mic" or using a different style of microphone? I'd assume the latter, her audio sounds how mine turns out when I try to use my MacBook's built in microphone vs. setting up my mics & mixer. Just curious.

Hey Joe,
Sorry for my late response, I forget that Goodreads exist. Kate was using the same everything, though she read it in a different position so it sounded different as the gates and filters were set up for me. I could have easily changed it once it was recorded but there was a certain tinny, uncertain quality to it that I quite liked and hoped wouldn't be taken as a technical issue because it's not like there were pops or problems. Or the files are wrong and I'd never know because Amazon's back end is worse than anyone could imagine.
The week that we did this I was afflicted with some sort of strange intranasal clicking disorder (I've never had a sinus issue) and I had to read the entire book from my back which required a pretty gnarly windscreen and mic set up (I think I used a YETI, but we may have used a normal stage SM58 through a direct box)
Hope you enjoyed it,
Mike
