Set up a studio.

Setup should include

  • microphone choice and microphone placement (e.g., pop filter, condenser vs. dynamic microphones)
  • audio interface (e.g., Apollo, Scarlett)
  • headphones and cue mixer
  • sound treatment (e.g., bass traps, acoustic panels, diffusers).
  • isolation boxes.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are positive natural acoustic qualities to consider when building a studio?
  • What are differences regarding studio setup and equipment needs when considering voiceover, podcast, and music recording (both with and without instruments) studios?
  • How is a pop filter used in a recording environment?
  • What allows the Apollo interface to record without introducing noticeable latency?
