What's the most common microphone mistake people make?
I feel like there are a lot of small things that instantly ruin mic quality without people realizing it.
- Too far away: echo and room noise
- Too close: distortion and plosives
- Wrong direction: muffled audio
- Echoey room: everything sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom
And the funny part is, most people only notice it after someone tells them.
I'm curious: What's the ONE mistake you see people make the most?
