My Microphone Setup.
This will not be a guide on what microphone to use or how they work. There are better places to go to learn about the basics of microphones. I will only discuss how to get the best possible microphone setup. Microphones come in many shapes and sizes. You can buy a microphone with a dedicated stand such as a Blue Snowball or Yeti, or something like the CAD U37 microphone which would require something like a boom arm for optimal use. This allows you to adjust where the microphone is placed and allow you to get the best sound for your room. Regardless of which type of microphone you choose, I would also suggest using a pop filter. Pop filters removes the hissing sounds that are caused when air is moving fast (like when you use the letters “p” or “s”). it will also remove background noises to an extent if the noise is going in the same direction as your voice (like a fan blowing behind you). There are many other things to improve the acoustics of the room you are streaming in but these require a lot of investment and something as simple as a $7 pop filter can really improve the quality of your voice. In the next post, I will discuss what to look for in routers and hard drives that I have and explain my reasoning behind each one.
