Preliminary preparation for recording

What is important about a good cover work?? Here we need to have a clear point of view, that is, there must be a good dry sound, of course, there must be a good soundtrack. So how to get good dry sound? This is what we should do in the early stage of recording. First, we should ensure that the dry sound noise is low and try to avoid wheat spraying and overload, because once wheat spraying and overload are formed, they can not be removed in the later stage, and can only be improved slightly at most, so this is very important. When recording, there should be a quiet environment. If the room has window cloth, pull the window cloth, close the doors and windows, and eliminate all external elements of noise. As for the noise caused by the problems of sound card and microphone, there is no good way. A good way is to upgrade your sound card and microphone. Ha ha, it only depends on our economic ability. Playing cover music, I think a slightly better headset should be able. Most of the sound cards are AC97 sound cards integrated with the motherboard. There is no special requirement and there is no big problem recording songs, Therefore, it is suggested that if the noise is particularly loud because of the wheat, we should buy a single computer wheat, which is the kind of single wheat on the table. Generally, people can use it for meetings, so as to reduce the composition of noise. In addition, the 20 dB improvement in the audio features can not be used as much as possible, and the noise will be very loud when used.

Spray wheat: the composition of spray wheat is mainly formed by the direct impact of the air flow in our mouth on the wheat when we sing, so we generally put the orientation of the wheat parallel to the tip of our nose, which can basically make a great change. Of course, it is ideal to buy a blowout preventer. We can make one by ourselves without buying it. It is relatively simple. There are many production methods on the Internet（ Imported double-layer blowout preventer (Samson － ps01,...)

Overload: the problem of overload is related to the size of the microphone volume when we record. Too much improvement in the later stage will also lead to overload. The first thing we should do is to eliminate overload at the time of recording and leave some room appropriately, so that there is room for adjustment at the time of the later stage. When recording, it is very simple to deal with the overload problem. Before you record the song, try to record a section and sing a section of the climax of the song you want to record, that is, the dynamic section of the whole song (the loud section). While recording, see whether the level meter below will reach the red line on the right as soon as it is sung. If so, you should adjust the volume of wheat. You can certainly find a good position after repeated debugging, Make sure that the meter doesn't reach the top even if you sing loudly. However, Mai's volume is not fixed. He advocates making the above adjustment for each song.
