If it is your first time recording music, you may be hesitant about the results. In fact, you may be searching the internet or asking around for tips for recording music. It’s a common problem when it comes to recording music – how to get more polished recordings. Here are some important tips for recording music you can follow:
  • Invest in a good type of microphone
With microphones, you get what you pay for. A good microphone will give you a good audio quality. With cheap microphones, you can still get good results especially if you know how to use it properly. However, when you compare the recordings from an inexpensive microphone and an expensive one, you’ll notice the big difference. It is still a wise idea to invest in a better microphone despite its price because it can produce better recordings. There are two types of microphone you can choose from – omnidirectional and unidirectional mic. Omnidirectional records sound from all directions while unidirectional mic will record sound from one direction only. For great recording, the unidirectional mic is your best option as it only picks up the sound coming from its user.

  • Get rid of noise as much as you can
A noisy environment can distract you from recording. It can also be recorded as much as possible, get rid of that noise if you can. Unplug fans, air conditioners and most of your appliances. You can also place your microphone away from the computer as your pc may make some fan noise. You can also consider telling the people at home to be quiet. Put some signs on your door.

  • Invest in good mastering software
Some people may need help with professional engineers to master their finished recording. They may help a lot but really, they are not required anymore as you can get mastering software for a decent amount. This software is easy to learn and you will certainly be happy with the results – it’s as if your recording is professionally mastered by an expert.

  • Soundproof your room
Soundproofing will make your room quieter. A room that is perfectly soundproofed will block the outside noise and will not disturb your recording while the inside noise stays inside too and will not disturb your neighbors.
You are not producing a sound for Hollywood production but you should at least be able to do a good recording job. If you follow these tips, you will surely enjoy a great output you’d be surprised to know you did it all by yourself. Well recorded music doesn’t have to be difficult to achieve if you just know some good tips for recording music.

Thank you for explaining how the placement of your microphone may help you prevent it from picking up unwanted sounds when you are recording. My brother has been thinking about recording a song that he wrote when he was in college last year, but he is worried that the construction project outside his house might make too much noise. Maybe a production company can help him find a more realistic way to record his music.

So amazing what you can do at home, but I still think mastering is a great art!
