ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

You have many choices in recording software. Audacity, is available for free online and is a widely used software program that provides basic recording software. Correct adjustment of microphone levels is important for optimum performance. Ideally, the microphone level should be as high as possible without overloading the input of your computer. If you hear distortion, or if your recording program shows levels that are consistently overloaded (at peak levels), turn the microphone volume (or level) down, either through your control panel (or systems preferences) settings, or through your recording software. If your recording program shows insufficient level, you can increase the microphone gain either from the control panel (or system preferences) settings or through your recording program.

It is important to position the microphone directly in line (on axis) with the person speaking/singing or the instrument (or other sound source) to achieve the best frequency response of the microphone. This requires the user to speak into the microphone positioned towards the mouth. As this microphone is directional. The distance from the mouth should be about 1-inch, or 10-40mm for optimal recording. For use in speaking/singing applications, the ideal placement for the microphone is directly in front of the person speaking/singing. The same placement is optimal when an instrument is miked, such as an acoustic guitar, drums or piano. Experiment with different mic placements to find the best sound for your particular setup.
