So now that I'm at the new crib I'ma try recording again but had a couple quick questions idk if any of you assholes will help or be knowledgeable in it.
I got my mic in the corner room (no padding yet but I do have a sE reflection piece) but our ceilings 12ft and we have wood floors. When it comes to mixing I know the environment is a crucial part, is having them high ass ceilings gonna hurt my mixing? I heard wood floors add good natural reverb but I'm jc if anyone has ideas on this? I don't have a closet to put my mic in, the next place I put my mic is the trash can.
if you're trying to rap yeah them high ceilings gonna kill you for the recording
gonna be way too much reverb
esp with the wood floor
u gonna need blankets and mattresses and pillows

The main thing is not overcomplicating it. Get a good mic, in a quiet room, where the wires aint touching other wires.
Its not going to be perfect but it will be clean enough
But wprd just get like a 100 dollar audio technica condensor mic and the cheapest interface and dont overdo any effects. Super light noise reduction. Go easy on the eq, and decent compression. Good enough.

I have a BlueBird mic, also an Apex 460 which I don't use anymore.
At my old place I made a small room with just blankets hanging from the ceiling but this ceiling is too high. I can put a rug or something on the floor and pad the corner room and shit but not much I can do with the ceiling....it's gonna make the vocals sound less condensed cuz the room. Idk I'll fuck around and experiment once I hook up my PC. Kinda figured it's a fucked location
