Hello Soundforums,
I'm new to audio recording, need to do it for a project coming in 5 months and going to need to set up something that could capture sounds with as little noise as possible. My home is a pretty noisy place although it dies down at night and i could record if i can somehow keep the noise level low enough to not wake my neighbors up.
I'm thinking of building a small box of foam wall padding and have a yeti mic (not sure if its good enough i was told i need one from shure) and record inside this box of foam padding with audio output going to my laptop which will be inside there as well. Wanted to ask if its feasible? Would it be cheaper if i were to just use a Shure mic without padding during a quiet time of day. Although it would be late at night and i fear the neighbors would be woken up.
