The ambient noise is the biggest problem such as HVAC noise or street noise from outside. On location I always get the people there to get them to shut off the HVAC/Blower noise and you can get a low ambient noise floor. If I don't see a -80db noise floor in my software I stop and find out what is causing it. I also never use mics that have over a -15db noise floor and look for mics with under -10db. pf self-noise. I also don't like compression that is over used. I love music that sounds alive and real and if you have a low noise floor you have plenty of dynamic range, remember even 16 bit has 96db of dynamic range, if you are at -80db with ambient noise you still have plenty of head room.

Can you tell some budget mic options with under -10db self-noise please?

I'd love to see a lewitt mic with a flatter midrange and a boost to just the treble. I lvoe the design and look of lewitt mics but the 4kHz bump coloration on all of them is not to my taste.

How do I remove annoying neighbors? I tried water but it made the noise worse.

Maybe would be possible to remove the ambiance by making an impulse response of the microphone in that position with the source where your mouth will be then phase cancelling it in post?

That's a very interesting thought. Sounds like a topic for a longer discussion with our engineers 🤔

Be careful not to eliminate all reflections and air around your microphone. It can sound sterile.

Most of these tips are great, but holy cow, please oh please don't record vocals in the closet! While the clothing may help, the 4 walls a foot away from you will not, and no amount of clothing is going to fix that. I deal with tracks waaaay too often where people do this, and it's not a good time! Loved the rest of the video though
@lowandodor1150 Ай бұрын
While i never heard a vocal recorded in a closet, at least i don't think so, i also thought, that is terrible advice, but hey, who am i?
