Studio noise

[Fade]

For years my PC ran very loudly and I know it's a combination of the case fans and hard drives, etc. but the other day I bought a new power supply - what a difference! I didn't even think of the PS as having a loud fan, but for me it seemed to be the main culprit.

When I would record with my microphone I could always hear the background noise from the computer fans but now it's much much less.

So to anyone looking to quiet your computer, it could be something as simple as a new power supply.

Anyone with other studio quieting tips?

i had the same issue till i acquired a fuman power conditioner and wooo what a difference , yea they are a little pricey , i live in flordia now and we have a lot of thunder storms so its kinda like a 2 bird in one stone kinda thing

Nice! Yeah Furman is expensive but it does work from what I've heard.

i prefer a dynamic mic over a condenser mic in less than ideal environments like our home studios. condensers pick up everything, good and bad.

we use a shure sm58 at the studio, it really isnt that expensive in the studio mic scheme of things

i like the sm58 and the sm7b. price/quality wise, the 58 can't be beat
