Minimizing Background Noise in Your Recordings
Podcast Engineering School
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.
