Most people think they need expensive equipment before they can start creating audio content. So they spend weeks researching microphones (often on Reddit or YouTube!), buy gear they don't understand (and return to those places to get help setting up or buying more gear), and still end up sounding like they're recording in a bathroom.
The issue is usually and primarily the SPACE you're sitting in. A cheaper microphone is just fine.
In this episode, I explain how to use your bedroom closet for killing that amateur-sounding echo and the proximity technique that radio broadcasters have used for decades. Your setup is probably simpler than you think.
