One important aspect of recording is making sure you have the right hardware and software. It can take a lot of research and get a bit pricy, but the quality of what you put out makes it worth it.

I’ve spent some time finding the right tools here’s my current setup. A good mic is essential and I got this one at a great deal on Amazon Prime Day 2015. I’ve been incredibly happy with what I’ve been able to produce. If I were buying one today, another option I might go with the Rode Podcaster, since that’s the most frequently recommended. Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones. A good set of headphones prevents echo during recordings and lets me hear a lot more in the recordings, which helps me clean up the audio. These over-the-ear headphones are great in every aspect. I wouldn’t change a thing.īoom Arm: RODE PSA1 Swivel Mount Studio Microphone Boom Arm. A Boom arm keeps the mic out of my way and off my desk. I don’t have to type around it or even necessarily keep it in camera (if I’m recording video). The Blue Microphones RADIUS II Microphone Shock Mount helps protect the mic from picking up vibrations from small movements and knocks.This is a strong, flexible, and stable arm.Įxtras: I have a few extras here to help filter sound as it’s going into the mic, as opposed to fixing it in post. A Pop Filter serves as a wind gate, preventing sounds like hard Ps from coming through on the recording, without having to fix it in post-production.A Foam Wind Screen adds a little extra protection for the whole mic, not just the front of it, like the pop filter.

There are also a few pieces of software I use in order to record and edit podcasts and videos. Libsyn: This is what I use to host the audio files.
