Minimizing Background Noise in Your Recordings

Never forget: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Here are 3 basic things you can do to minimize background noise:
Choose a place to set up your studio which has the least background noise (see list of noises below)
Keep your mouth very close to the microphone when speaking (1-4 inches away)
Use a dynamic microphone instead of a condenser because condensers typically pick up lots more background noise.

Noises you want to be aware of and then minimize:
Inside your “studio:” Air ventilation ducts, computer fans, squeaky chairs, etc.
Outside your “studio” but inside the house: Other people in your house making noise (kitchen noise, TV’s, kids playing…), pets making noise, etc.
Outside the house: Passing cars and trucks, lawn mower noise, rain, dogs barking, etc.
