The difference between "sound insulation" and "sound absorption"
Soundproofing
Through high-density substances (sound will be attenuated through substances of different densities) to reduce the influence of ambient sound outside the recording space
sound absorbing
Avoid the host's sound hitting the wall or various reflective objects and the sound after rebounding through high-density materials (the sound will be attenuated through materials with different densities) to reduce its impact
Uncle Jesse suggests:
If you only have a budget of a few thousand yuan, you can use sound-absorbing cotton, and then use a thicker sound-absorbing board (which has a sound insulation effect), and then start with the sound collection: use a relatively insensitive "moving coil microphone" [* Note]
Sound-absorbing cotton similar to wool should be fixed with art clay Recommended: UHU universal clay UHU-056/21 packs
This brand is relatively sticky, and you need to buy the reference URL of the black version

*Note: Most of the USB connectors directly connected to the computer or the external microphone of the mobile phone are "condenser"
crosstalk
When multiple people are recording in the same space, the microphone will receive other people's voices to some extent. If there is a chatting process, there may be similar echoes when listening to overlapping sounds.
The uncle uses a single-sided sound-absorbing panel to block his penetrating laughter
saliva
The saliva sound technology can be improved by putting on a saliva mask, or paying attention to the way you articulate or adjusting the distance between the mouth and the microphone, and then using au's noise capture and cancellation can reduce a lot.
The saliva mask can be bought simply and cheaply according to the results of the google equipment article, and it can even be made with stockings
Blowout net is very cheap at NT$70. For the sake of beauty, you can invest in it. A small reminder: this kind of thing needs to be locked somewhere! Lock it directly on the microphone stand (the red frame)
It can also be placed directly on the table, in short, it can be blocked in front of the microphone

echo

can be in bed
Cover yourself with a quilt
You can eliminate all echoes and noises, some foreign voice actors or audiobook actors

with a blanket [*note]
With a door panel and a large stand + clothespins to set up the space, the floor should also be covered with a blanket to prevent echoes, so that you can get an ultra-low budget and great effect home recording space!
*Note: The Moving Blankets mentioned in the video are very thick blankets used to cover furniture for moving households, but because they are thick enough, they have some sound insulation and noise reduction effects
- Take a foldable storage box, a cardboard box, a clever spell, etc. It is covered with suction sponges and put the microphone in it to reduce the echo problem.
other noises
- The microphone shock mount is NT$95 to avoid the sound of hitting and knocking on the desktop

In principle, when a professional venue is not used, the echo will be especially serious when "really. Try to fill the room with irregular and soft items, such as: quilts, clothes, sound-absorbing cotton...etc. In addition, practicing the skills of using the microphone, improving the articulation and breathing methods, and scripting can effectively avoid the sound of drool and redundant words.
Personally, I think amateur Podcasters don't need to make special corrections. It's fine to talk with friends. Accent or something, I'm Taiwanese, what's wrong with speaking in a Taiwanese accent? (Smile politely and embarrassedly)
