[Bruce Watson] “Turn down the mic feeds when they aren’t being used.”

I took this as “turn down the microphones that aren’t being used during the recording.” But based on the response I am now assuming you meant turning down the mics in Audition, NOT on the mixing board during the actual recording.

Sorry, all this stuff is new to me so I’m probably not explaining/understanding very well.

Either way, using a noise gate on the recording solved my problem. THANK YOU ALL!!

Thanks for all the suggestions.

The podcast is kind of an open format where anyone can chime in at any time. Often there are people talking over each other so turning down or off channels during the recording won’t be an effective solution but I will try the noise gate and expander.

Thanks for the advice. I will start with the noise gate.
