You know, that's a very good suggestion. At times folks have told me my vox is a little low but I wasn't sure how to check. In windows it's maxed out and has the dB boost enabled, and in AH I've tried putting it at 90% (to minimize extra noise on the mic), but had to put it back to 100% recently. Was never really sure how clear it was.
My problem is i have a cheap-o 2-cent mic (came with pc) and the stand is by the monitor, so unless I lean forward my signal will be low (mouth further away), and when I'm busy or bored I don't always lean forward.
Thanks for the "tune to yourself" tip, y'all.
