- 10. 3 BASIC THINGSTO CONSIDER IN STARTING AN AUDIO RECORDING 1. Sound Source 2. Equipment Setup 3. Recording Levels
- 11. SOUND SOURCE What you'rerecording is key. Position it carefully to minimize background noise and maximize clarity. A quiet environment is best. -Minimize Background Noise -Control Room Acoustics -Microphone Distance -Angle of Incidence -Phase Cancellation -Experimentation
- 12. EQUIPMENT SETUP Ensure youhave the right tools, especially: •Microphone: Use a quality microphone suited for your purpose (e.g., dynamic for voiceovers, condenser for studio vocals). •Audio Interface or Recorder: Connect your mic to a computer or use a portable recorder for better audio fidelity. •Headphones: Use closed-back headphones to monitor without creating feedback.

- 14. 1. MICROPHONE Microphone Types 1.Shotgun Mic 2. Lavalier Mic 3. Dynamic Mic 4. Condenser Mic is a stationary mic that captures sound at a distance. Very directional. is a small mic that clips directly on to the person. Best for film audio and stage production. can take a lot of signal without being damaged due to their low sensitivity and higher gain threshold. Condenser microphones are best used to capture vocals and high frequencies.
- 15. MICROPHONE The type ofmicrophone selected significantly impacts the sound captured. Condenser microphones are known for their sensitivity and detail, while dynamic microphones are more rugged and suitable for live performances or loud instruments
- 16. Place the microphonecarefully and speak loud and clear.
- 17.
- 18. AUDIO INTERFACE These devicesconvert analog audio signals from microphones and instruments into digital data for processing and recording. Key specifications include sample rate, bit depth, dynamic range, and input impedance, all of which influence the quality and fidelity of the captured audio
- 19. AUDIO INTERFACE USB AudioInterfaces: These are the most common type, connecting to your computer via a USB port. They are generally affordable, portable, and easy to use. Many offer bus-powering (meaning they get power from the USB connection), eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
- 20. AUDIO INTERFACE VSSOUND CARD Feature Sound Card Audio Interface Purpose General audio use Professional audio recording Quality Basic to moderate High-end, studio-quality Inputs/Outputs Limited (mic/headphone) Multiple (XLR, line-in, MIDI) Latency Higher Low Price Low to moderate Moderate to high The terms audio interface and sound card both refer to devices that handle audio input and output on a computer, but they differ in functionality, quality, and use cases.
- 21. 2. DIGITAL RECORDER Useto capture digital audio - wav, mp3, aiff, aac
- 22. 3. HEADPHONE Hearing yourselfwhile recording will allow you to make those tiny sound adjustments along the way that keep your sound quality high.

- 25. WHERE TO PLACE THEMICROPHONE The ideal distance for a microphone is about 6 to 12 inches from the speaker’s mouth. If placed too close to the mouth, and you’ll pick up a lot of unwanted sounds. Too far away, and it will sound like your subject is off in the distance.
- 26. YOUR VOICE -Your voiceshould register at about -10 db to -20 db -going above -6 db, as this can cause telltale distortion that makes it hard to distinguish what’s being said.
- 27. MAKE YOUR VOICEMORE CLEAR 1. Enunciate each word fully. 2. Smiling while recording can make your voice approachable. 3. Be mindful of the pacing.
- 28. THE PLACE TORECORD
- 29. RECORDING ENVIRONMENT 1. Ideal recordingenvironment is a small quiet room. 2. Use isolated room with carpets soft furnishings as they absorb echoing. (alt. rugs and curtains) 3. Try to avoid areas when you can hear traffic, cooling system or voices from another room.
- 30. ECHO AND UNWANTEDNOICE - Reduce room echo as much as possible. - Close all windows and doors. - Record during selected times. - Refrain from excessive page turns and writing. - Use a pop filter. - Do not record in a corner or face close to a wall.
- 31. RECORDING PROCESS 1. KEEP THE RECORDING ROLLING 2.RECORD ENTIRE SECTIONS 3. LISTEN TO THE PREVIOUS RECORDINGS 4. TAKE BREAKS AND SIP ROOM- TEMPERATURE WATER.
- 32. RETAKES When doing aretake, it is best to record the entire sentence or phrase. This will give the editor to edit the retake seamlessly. Do not record just one word that needs to be replaced.
- 33. LISTEN TO THEORIGINAL RECORDING TO MAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING: • Pitch and tonality • Speed and cadence • Character
- 34. RECORDING SOFTWARE This softwareallows for editing, mixing, and mastering audio recordings. Features include multi-track recording, equalization, compression, reverb, and delay effects, enabling manipulation and enhancement of the audio signal.

- 36. Feature Description Cost ✅Free and open-source Ease of Use ✅ Simple interface, easy to learn Editing Tools Good for basic editing (cut, copy, paste, noise reduction, etc.) Multitrack Support Limited multitrack editing; not ideal for complex mixing Plugins Supports VST and LADSPA plugins, though not as seamless Non-Destructive Editing ❌ Mostly destructive (changes directly affect audio unless you undo) Real-Time Effects ❌ No real-time effect preview Use Cases Voice recording, podcasts, simple audio cleanup
