Hi Keith
I suspect your inline mic picking up the screen reader is more to do with
the proximity of the mic to the earphones and/or the mic's characteristics.
I cannot imagine that being on the same cable would have an effect. One
thing you can be sure of is that if there is a sound you don't want recorded
it will be. Closed back headphones will certainly help to minimise leakage.
If you have your mic close, which is generally desirable, it is more likely
to pick up the screen reader.

Yeah, I was thinking of that. I have a cheap set of hedphones with an
inline mic. When I use them with my studio mic, I can have the volume as
high as 50% or so without bleedthrough. But when switching to the inline
mic, I need to turn the volume down to 5% or it gets the computer voice imn
the recording.
Its not so much about noise cancelling, the cheap earphones have lots of
leakage. I think its because when the speakers and mic are physically
attached, and share the same cable. , the bleedthrough is worse.

'll test some of these theories tomorrow when I get back to my recording
schedule.
