Great video, so much good information. With the microphones you’re recommending, do they pickup mouth noises and breathing? I’ve been using the Apogee Hypemic, which is a usb mic, but I’m learning it’s not ideal for this. It picks up mouth noises and breathing…. I’m wondering if there’s a microphone that won’t pick up all those small sounds. I’m recording voice 6 inches from the mic with a pop filter too, and I’ve been able to avoid more plosives now, but it still picks up mouth clicks. Or does everybody have this issue no matter the microphone?
super smooth video with awesome information , although I was waiting to hear about speakers (Which ones) and little bit about plug ins : ) hoping next time - Cheers
I have a room that is 4x7. I was built for a treadmill by a previous owner. However, there is no door, just a pocket in the room. Should I use an acoustic blanket to cover, or is not that big of a deal? It's just me, so I won't have any distractions in the home.
@@thehomeaudioproject I know this may vary, but being a small room, I thought about covering the walls 100% with acoustic foam/pannels. Would that be too much. Thanks for your help.
Is it possible to have a USB microphone and then edit the voice recording on Audacity without buying the audio interface? If so, Would it be the same quality results ? Thank you so much❤
I would personally avoid USB microphones due to the lack of control they have. USB microphones offer convenience but lack the sound quality, flexibility, and control of traditional setups with a microphone and audio interface. Traditional setups provide WAY better audio quality, more customization options, and better expandability, if using them for professional use. USB mics are more suited for beginners or portable recording.

The minifuse 1 is also really good its 100 dollar and can drive a shure sm7b by itself
Thanks for sharing! Useful information.
I'd like to add to list at 5:06 "Bandlab Cakewalk" (free soft too).
Solid choice!

Great question! I would still put cover the opening with a blanket to reduce external house noises getting to your microphone.

I highly suggest not plugging directly into your computer built-in audio connections. Utilize an interface for sure.
Thanks so much!
can i start out with a USB mic? im on a very limited budget right now and just trying to get something off the ground.
You can definitely start with a USB mic, but I don't recommend for the long term, just due to the capabilities it will limit you to.
