Equipment & monitoring

If your voice does not become brighter even after adding high frequencies with EQ, the cause may be in the recording stage. Review microphone distance, angle, reflections, and input level in a safe order.

If you choose only based on price or standard, it may not suit your ears and you may make a wrong decision. We will explain how to choose headphones for production, including sealing/opening, fit, replacement parts, and driving force.

If you buy only based on sale price or reputation, you will end up not using more plugins. We will summarize the criteria for selection, including trial versions, CPU load, latency, authentication, and update costs.

We'll explain how to check not only the price or famous manufacturer, but also the number of people recording, input/output, headphone jack, loopback, driver, and included software.

A microphone that fits the room and your voice is more important than an expensive microphone. Choose sensitivity, directivity, proximity effect, ambient noise, and even audio interface.

For each type of noise, check the cable, power supply, gain, USB, PC load, and environmental sound in order. This is a diagnostic procedure before replacing equipment.

We will compare one-time purchases and subscriptions, taking into account not only the low monthly price, but also the number of books used, renewal fees, handling after cancellation, collaborative production, and OS compatibility.

There is a lot of bass, the localization is off, and the sound is different between the left and right sides. Before purchasing new speakers, we will explain how to adjust distance, height, wall and desk reflections, symmetry, and volume.

Singing or guitar monitoring is delayed, or MIDI keys are difficult to play. Check buffers, plugin delays, drivers, and sample rates in a safe order.

We will explain the roles of computers, DAWs, headphones, audio interfaces, microphones, and MIDI keyboards, and the order in which you should buy them first.
