Yeah, I'm painstakingly reading out a novel I wrote and recording is hard. We had to scrap last nights recording because there was a hum at the place we are recording and even turning off all breakers we couldn't figure out where it was. Turns out it was a bathroom fan that was hooked to a different breaker in the house.

I'll be writing some music for the intros of chapters and some special sections for suspense.




Hums are the worst. And the quieter your space, the more hums you seem to hear. Good luck!

There's a few good folks on youtube that discuss some of the more nitty gritty details, if you're interested.
