    Could you please at least do a 15 to 20 second pass for each example? One second isn't enough at least for me.

    Sure, thanks for your feedback!
    I'll record some more and then post it here. But unfortunately I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.

    If you bought the Aston have no worries, it is the best reflection filter with the most minimal of resonance of all the others that I have ever heard.

    I made a new recording and have now uploaded 3 different scenarios. To be honest, I'm not satisfied. It seems to me as if a comb filter effect is created.

    It sounds only like you've attenuated the room to me.

    Really? So you think I can make something out of it?

    From 10 cm it sounded to me as the room disappeared, at 15 cm I heard a hint of it. Which reflection filter are you using?

    Agree with Lois Lane, but your performance isn't that loud, if you plan on doing louder stuff, I would also test at that level.
    Something else: you might want to add (or get a better) pop screen/filter - or take a little more distance from the mic, cause some b's & p's are still affected.

    Cool! Thank you very much! I just somehow have the feeling that the recording with Mic Screen can hardly reach any heights. Could it be that the high frequencies are suffering as a result? But I'm also ill and perhaps too tired to judge that well myself.
    I'll think of something about the plosives! Thanks :)

    High frequencies aren't attenuated by the Aston refection filter, only the reflections of your voice bouncing off the walls as the filter is absorbing the energy. It's a damn good product and fulfills it's job in spades.
