Years ago I did broadcasting and know a thing or two about mic discipline - controlling my breathing, moving away when I should, keeping a consistent distance, but my co-host, not so much. I still have some bad habits myself and somewhat of a lazy jaw anymore, but he's starting to drive me crazy. Lip smacking and tongue clicks, as well as swallowing, are all issues.

Is there a way to solve this though audio means, because I don't think I'll be able to change his habits? I'm right up on the mic, and he takes that cue from me, but should I tell him to sit back and bump him up on the mixer? He may sound a little too hollow that way, I think.

I use SM7Bs and they tend to pick up everything. I tried to edit some of it out of the audio, and did, but there's so much that a 1+ hour show is a little too daunting.

Any advice.
