How To Set Your Microphone Gain / Mic Levels

Setting up your home recording studio for voice over made easy. In this video we will go through the best tips to get your home recording studio sounding as best as possible. Whether you’re working in a DIY vocal booth, or a professional studio, microphone levels are something to be aware of when you’re recording professional voice over. The three tips covered in this video will help you get the best recording quality in your home studio. These tips include microphone proximity, microphone gain, and setting your levels properly on your interface. The distance to the microphone is especially important for voice over artists who are working in small home studios or vocal booths. This is because reflections, or sound leaving your mouth, hitting the walls in the room and coming back to the microphone can be a significant indicator of an amateur recording setup and will often make clients overlook your recordings. We will cover microphone proximity, microphone gain, and how to get the best voice over tone in your recordings.
