Thank you, I appreciate that. I think about it a lot, but haven't had the time to devote to it lately (even doing retro stuff for myself).

The microphone volume has been a challenge for me. If I crank up the input volume, it picks up my breathing and noise from outside and computer fans, etc.

I've been trying to find a goldilocks zone where I don't have to increase my voice or become a sound engineer. :)
