  • i love this video :)

    okay there is a bit of noise....my computer...., outside my bedroom....

    just the random ''house'' noises

    but its not a problem for me

    you can't hear any of that because of the drum/guitar.... its amazing how you can record in your room and the music sounds so damn good

    love technology!!

    listen to some of my tracks!!

    its not the best.....we just started

    but quality sounds awesome

    :)

  • I recorded a clients mobile signal while working. is there any way to remove it other than cutting off the frequency?? reply..

    ps: dint notice it while recording

  • @deathavenger1 re-record ;p nah seriousaly try recording filtering out the vocals so you just have the noise then bouse just the noise import it and try to phase cancel the phone sound. I got an average result from this before.

  • Easy one to overlook: ticking clocks & watches!

  • Great Stuff! Keep posting. Much appreciated! Peace!

  • Great stuff. Thanks.

  • thanks alot for those amazing infos!!i mean its realy helpful!!

    i wanna ask u something please tell me!

    what is the best mic for recording for computers??!!i don't have those stuff 4 recoreding but i wanna make a demo tape 4 my singing audition on mail so please

  • Great one mate...

  • traffic? man i live in the woods and have wolves and random birds screaming into my mic. Every night i have to get the owl to stop "singing." every atmosphere has its disadvantages lol.

  • Is your refrigerator running?

    Better go catch it then!

    hahaha

  • Thanks!very useful video!tomorrow i'm gonna record some vocals,i'll follow your tips!i

    FABIO

  • Thanks for taking the time to put this info on here. These are really good tips for us amatures.

  • just curious, i have a loft type room (vaulted ceilings that come down real low), so based on what ive watched, hypothetically speaking wouldnt it be a good idea to: set my mic up w the null point facing OUT from the corner of the room where the vaulted ceilings are lowest, and maybe drape some blankets diagonally off the wall, as to make more of a triangle or quadrilateral shaped "room" as opposed to a square or rectangle? i could draw up and send a little picture using paint if it would help?

  • the null point helped me A LOT!! thanks :D

  • I have a lot of noise in my home studio basement, it is a very less-than-ideal environment, I have the computer right in the same room that I'm recording vocals, and there are other unexplainable noise. What are some things you suggest to isolate the microphone?

  • nice! good lesson

  • this guy/your voice is amazing! Helpful tips for newcomers too, obviously; but your voice is just brilliant.

  • is your refrigerator running? ah man cheap joke but cheers for the advice man :)

  • thanks very much, the video was great

  • WHY this guy says THINGS TO AVOID and makes a list starting with ...NOT???

    Avoid ...not to use this or that?

    Man, just write 5 tops TO DO:

    1. Use EQ

    2. Lower your headphones

    ...

    4. Listen before recording etc.

    It's very confusing or to use your thinking

    ...itsn't not very helpful!!!

  • @GAMIESTE2007 It states it as it reads.

    Top Line:

    Top 5 Mistakes To Avoid

    (He is going to list things to avoid)

    1.Not using EQ filters. ([It never says 1. Use EQ filters] This means you should avoid not using EQ filters)

    2.Headphones are too loud.(This means you should avoid having headphones too loud.)

    ETC. (Read the following Points correctly this time.)

    Look closer and It'll make sense, then It'll be helpful.

  • wat if your interface has a noise sup

  • Nice, For Newbies out there who think the Condenser is the best ever microphone, you might wanna get a dynamic mic instead if your room is not acoustically great. Condensers tend to pick a hell lot of room ambiance.

  • thanks mate ..

  • If you're recording at home and you have a basement, set up down there. Being below ground really cuts down on noise from outside. Especially if you have a room with no windows. Turn off the heat/air in the house, and turn off all the phones. If a noise won't go away, like a computer etc, it's helpful to record a minute or 2 of just background noise. ("room") You can use pieces of that to fill any gaps formed during editing.

  • awesome tips...

  • Agree. The biggest way to cut down on external sounds is to use the most directional mic you can find. Just a fact.

  • nice tip. gotta cut down all the noise.

    (Benson and Tonic)

  • Tip 6: switch off all phones!

  • amen brother! gets me all the time!

  • Very good but I have a disagreement with your # 5 (five). As is the case with a Ribbon microphone made by Royer (the R 121). This mic actually sounds clearer when turned around. Try it for yourself, it will amaze you!

  • Most ribbon mics have a 'figure--8' pick up pattern, so they are of course are not what he is refering to.

    However most mics available are NOT figure 8 and do not have that option, most are cardioid and they DO cut off the back

  • Thanks for all these tips, I'm starting to use them from now on...

  • hahaa the last ones reallllyyyyy obvious...:|

  • lol

  • yeah i beg to differ

  • thanks for the tips. They are very helpful!!

  • khaliqovision! thanks so much.

    do you suggest using the cut filters built into the mics? ...or cutting the lows afterwards in the software.

    I'm using a Shure KSM44 condenser and a similar medium quality condenser, and both have a switch to cup lows. does using these switches effect the over-all quality of what the mic is picking up?

  • it's better to cut low end in your DAW with an EQ because you can always go back and modify your settings! Just record your audio as naturally as possible and after work with the effects. The reason u might wanna roll off some lows is generally to get rid of hum and other noise which will eat up the low end and rms and mud your bass

  • nice. thanks. this is all very helpful.

  • I kno im not him but here is my suggestion:

    I think at the mic is best, but I wouls say record both and go with the one that sounds better to you. I kno it simple but your ears should be your point of ref in that department

  • thank you for this vid, im an up and coming producer and definetly needed to see all of this!!

  • hi! thanks for the video. I want to go to a recording studio to make a demo CD. Where should I go?

  • I use N-Track Studio. Guess its the best...
