The Four Horsemen of Audio Recording (reliable, time-tested ways to kill your show)
-- 1. Echoes and room reverberation (Don't record the show in your mum's kitchen.)
-- 2. Overload and Clipping (Sound that's recorded too loud is permanently trashed.)
-- 3. Compression Damage (Never do production in MP3.)
-- 4. Background Sound (Don't leave the TV on in the next room.)
Misconceptions
-- 1. I don't need a studio. I just need a comfortable, air conditioned, quiet room with no echoes.
-- 2. I don't need professional audio. I just need clear sound at good volume and no distortion or noise.
-- 3. I don't need a recording engineer. I just need someone to set me up and get me through the first few recordings and teach me how to do it myself.
