Today I received a feedback video from a customer. After receiving the microphone SM-58, the customer recorded music with friends at home. I really want to share this video with you and some things to pay attention to when recording music at home to improve Recording effect.

A good microphone is very important. The quality of the microphone is related to whether it can record good vocals. So please try to choose the highest standard that the budget can reach. It is recommended to use a good quality large diaphragm condenser microphone or a high-quality dynamic microphone.

Condenser microphones have high sensitivity, can capture details, and often have high-fidelity sound effects. But at the same time, the environmental requirements are more stringent. It should be noted that you need to use 48-volt phantom power on the microphone preamplifier to power the microphone. If power is not supplied in this way, the condenser microphone will not work properly, so make sure that your mixer or microphone preamplifier can provide 48-volt phantom power.

Dynamic microphones are rougher and less sensitive, but provide a more rounded sound and do not emphasize high frequencies too much. They are often used for rock and hip-hop vocals. Dynamic microphones do not require additional 48-volt phantom power. So it will be more convenient to use.

In addition to the microphone, you may also need to choose some equipment, such as a microphone stand, shock mount, pop filter, etc. If your song has a large number of "B" and "P" pronunciations, then the help of the blowout cover will be great, , It can help filter out these blasting sounds, and it will cost you a lot of time and energy to not deal with it later.

The most important thing is that you need a quiet room .There should be no loud noise on the street, no running sounds of computers, air conditioners, fans, etc., preferably in the bedroom or living room.
