FAQs:

How do you record good vocals at home?

Make sure to record in a neutral, dry room if you do not have access to a professional home studio. You can even begin to construct a simple vocal booth with blankets, curtains, mattresses and pillows. Place the mic diaphragm facing your lips (the TM-82 in this case), and listen with headphones initially to identify any subtle differences in sound. To do this, try close-up (5 - 10 cm away), and then mid-distance (approx 30 cm away) to achieve the best audio-recording possible. Be sure to test mic levels, and do several takes of the entire track before focusing on detailed areas. And if you are not satisfied, be sure to step away and take a break to prioritise vocal rest.
