What's the most common microphone mistake people make?

Discussion

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?
