How to Improve the Sound of Your Audio Recording in Soundtrap

Enhancing the audio quality of your recordings in Soundtrap can significantly impact your music production. 

Tips on how to get a good audio recording:

• Get a good microphone. Internal microphones in a computer, smartphone or tablet are very handy, but often not ideal for music production.
• Record in a quiet and absorptive environment to avoid background noise and echo-y reflections.
• If you're using your device's built-in mic, or an external mic without volume control, do the Volume test to set the right recording level and avoid clipping and distortion.
• If you're using a USB microphone or an audio interface with controls for gain/volume, check your device's manual for guidelines on how to set the optimal recording level.
• Stay close to the microphone. This will help reduce background noise and room reflections. 
• Use headphones to avoid the sound from the computer speakers to accidentally be recorded.
• Use a pop filter to remove the low-frequent "pops" that occurs because of the puffs of air created by consonants (such as "b", "p", etc).
• Try using effects such as an EQ to "repair" a bad recording by reducing unwanted frequencies.
