  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-01-02)
  
  I have a ATR2100x-USB mic from audio-technica. I've been recording some tutorial videos and overall like the sound quality.
  
  But the inherent sensitivity of the mic picks up a lot of residual mouth noises. Like inhaling, exhaling, smacking, swallowing etc.
  
  Is this a problem of mic placement? Audio settings? Lack of dampening equipment of some kind?
  
  Not sure how to begin trouble shooting this problem.
