How to record great vocals at home, whether it’s singing, voice-over or Skype

USB Microphones

Gone are the days of needing to go to your local recording studio to get great vocals. Almost any computer, laptop or tablet you buy today is powerful enough to record great vocals. This means for the first time you can create your own songs or make crystal clear voice calls to all of your friends and family throughout  the world.

In this article we’ll explain the need for a good USB microphone and how to use one.

Although your computer may have a built into microphone, the quality is usually very poor and never makes your voice sound very good. It can cause problems such as end users not being able to understand you, or people thinking your recordings are just plain amateurish. A good USB microphone includes a large diaphragm which means your vocals will not only sound clearer, but will also sound much more punchy and full. (Similar to the sound of a radio presenter.) A USB microphone enables you to record studio quality vocals without the need for expensive audio interface hardware or a truck load of cables.

Due to the advances in technology, companies like Editors Keys have engineered USB microphones, which take the entire studio based technology and squeezes it into the base of a microphone. (This will also include the software too!)

The great thing about a USB Microphone is that they’re so simple to use. All you’ll need to do is plug in your mic into your computer with the included USB cable and you’re away. All of the software drivers are built into the microphone, so all you’ll need to do is select the USB microphone from Skype, or the recording software you’re using.

Many major artists such as the Arctic Monkeys created their first albums at home, so its certainly a tool worth investing in.

Editors Keys USB microphones are extremely popular with their large fan base plus they offer a lifetime warranty across their range. For more information on their recording equipment, why not check out: www.editorskeys.com
