Hi Joshua,
All our volunteers use headphones while reading, as this also gives them the 
audio channel to talk to the monitor when not in record mode.  We use the 
intercom mode within Studio Recorder.  I will attach a wiring diagram on how 
the equipment is set up.  With the intercom turned on, the microphones are 
controlled by the software.  In stop mode, both monitor and narrator mics are 
on so they can converse.  In playback, both mics are muted so you can be 
certain that what you hear is in the recording.  In record mode, the narrator 
mic is on and the monitor mic is muted.  I did get some resistance from 
volunteers at first about wearing the headphones, but they got used to it.  
Also, by having headphones on with the intercom mode, when you go into record, 
the software can be set to play back a few seconds of the recording up to the 
edit point, thus, giving the narrator an audible cue to begin narrating.  We 
completely eliminated the "green light".  Hope this helps.

I am wondering if there is a setting in Studio Recorder that you can turn on 
for our volunteers to be able to hear themselves in a pair of headphones while 
they are recording. Some of our volunteers want this and some don't.
Does anybody do this in their studio?
