Took me two days to learn all this, so this should save someone else's time now. I am sure someone has created courses with a dynamic mic and wondered why there's all the hiss underneath. One of these little 'secrets' that make a HUGE difference. Instead, condenser microphones are WAY more sensitive, which means they 'amplify' your voice a lot more powerfully, so the signal-to-noise ratio improves TREMENDOUSLY.

) But they are a terrible choice for SPEECH. They are intentionally weaker because loud sounds would otherwise make them distort. With a dynamic microphone the noise floor was MUCH higher because these microphones are WEAK and not very sensitive (they are made for LOUD sounds, like loud vocalists, drumkits, or loud guitars. I just changed mine for a CONDENSER microphone (which requires phantom power) and now my speech is TWICE as loud without changing my speech at all, which means the noise floor is pretty much non existent.

Here's one of the secrets.make SURE your microphone is NOT a dynamic microphone. The best thing to do is to make sure the noise doesn't get in there in the first place! I see people asking: 'where do I get an app to cancel noise' ? Well, you CANNOT cancel noise, you can only cut it's frequencies, which will make your recorded voice sounding.weirder. I am talking about equipment noise: microphones, preamps, mixers, etc.not your refrigerator or fan noise etc.
