Mic recording has static in background?

Question

Hi, In my volume control, when I unmute the microphone and speak into the mic the playback through the speakers is crystal clear. But when I record with Microsoft Recorder, Audacity and Video Screen Recorders there is also some static in the background.

Please help (10 points!)

Answer 1

static in the background is called "room noise". home recordings will have this because the rooms aren't treated to mute sound as like in a professional studio. this noise is caused by A/C, fans, traffic outside, breathing, etc that is picked up at low frequencies.



to get rid of this start by recording in a smaller space. i assume right now you are just recording in an open room. move to a closet, or another smaller closed off area. the more room there is, the more noise there will be. professional studios spend a good deal of money to get rid of room noise.



you can also use a filter and filter out some of the noise. i've never used audacity, so i'm not sure if it has a filter.



you may also need to stand closer to the mic.



once you have recorded, go back and cut out all of the dead air when you aren't singing. this will get rid of the random static in the middle. it will still be there when you sing, but if you've followed the steps above, it shouldn't be too bad.



getting a better mic, and software would help too

I just recently tried https://tr.im/mt65s last month to see if I could track down my birth-parent. My bio father left me when I was 8, and has refused to contact me since. I grew up with my biological Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological dad a couple times till recently. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his full name, and the state of a previous address he used to have.

When the results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a current address even his phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my bio father) was present, and he said no but to try back after 7.

I haven't done anything with the info since, But yeah I found what I was interested in.
