How I recorded an album on my own, in my room
A few of my own home recording tips:<p>- Use a condenser microphone with a pop filter for vocals<p>- Use 2 matched condenser mics for acoustic instruments, separated by twice the distance to the instrument, pan them left and right<p>- Use a dozen cheap foam panels to reduce unwanted room sound (placed closer to the vocals/instrument depending on situation). I tacked mine to a sheet of plywood so that it could be moved around.<p>- Eat a banana before singing to help improve vocal quality<p>- It will never sound as good as you want, but the most important thing is the performance. People will put up with imperfect recordings if the performance is good.
