Listen "004 - Your Recording Environment (Reverb)"
Episode Synopsis
Where you record, your show is as important as the microphone you are using.
Start paying attention to the sound you are getting in the places you record in.
Reverb is the echo you get when sound bounces or reflects from surfaces back into your mic.
Hard, bare surfaces and empty space = more reverb.
I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to record in my car, kitchen, kid's bedroom, my closet and one other place to test out how you can change just by changing your recording environment.
Understanding your typical recording environment is essential before buying your first mic; otherwise, you might waste money on a mic that doesn't perform well in your recording location.
Use a sock or foam windshield (see the episode art) over your phone to see what that does to reduce popping and reverb.
Experiment in different locations where you might record. Train your ear to notice reverb and sources of noise.
