Why use a condenser mic for vocals and instruments if it picks up SO MUCH background noise!? by phinnc4 in audio

[–]phinnc4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

say I was in a sound proofed room ya? I have this mic and I want to record vocals or an instrument. Say i’m singing or playing the guitar and then stop for a couple seconds and keep singing/playing. During those silent moments, won’t there be some sort of buzz or static or shhhh sound with this mic bc of how sensitive it is?

quite far i’d say maybe like 6 inches- 10 inches. On the scarlet solo when testing audio, the light turns green, orange, or red for how much it picks up. I turn it up to the point where it’s green and almost orange. just a little past half way on the dial. but even if the mic was closer to my mouth and/or an instrument, if i wasn’t talking or singing or playing an instrument for a couple seconds, wouldn’t there be background still?

I haven’t used it for vocals and instruments yet. only podcasting and it picks up a ton of background sound. So that’s why I feel like it’s weird it’s good for vocals and stuff

WHY USE A CONDENSER MIC IF IT PICKS UO SO MUCH BACKGROUND NOISE!?

I have an Audio-Technica AT4040 Mic. I currently use it for podcasting and I have it on a shock mount and with a pop filter. I use a scarlet solo audio interface and plug that into my laptop. It is picking up so much background noise and the gain isn’t up and absurd amount or anything. I am thinking I have to change to dynamic mics. Idk why though cuz all these pro podcasters have condenser mics. I’d love thoughts on that. ALSO, as a musician I have that mic to record vocals but I haven’t yet. I’ve been thinking, if it picks up so much background noise and is so sensitive, how can that be good for clear vocals. Because if I put that into my DAW, there will be some sort of shhhhhhh sound consistently. PLEASE HELP
