When I started to record the audio paper, I was thinking to record it outside because it seems more interesting and more fun to do. However, I started to think why do I need that? Is it related to what I am trying to say in audio paper? Not at all. Plus, If I record my voice outside, I can’t edit background soundscape. I am planning to add examples or different artist works or old field recoding, and if I record my voice outside, then the soundscape of the place, where I do my voice over, overlap the audio examples; plus what I said in the audio paper is how the acoustic of the playback double and layer the recording, so if I do it outside, there have three layering. But I want to keep it clean and simple, and in this way, the effects of how playback recording is not real can be seen(actually listen) clearly .
The mic I used is a SM58. The reason I use it not just because it has good quality on record voice, and also I will pickup less background noise as I am recording in my flat. I tried to record with my field recording stereo pair by Immersive Soundscape, and of course the condenser mic have cleaner and more natural sound, but it also capture too much details of my voice which I don’t like the clicks sound produce by the saliva when I am speaking. Therefore, I use SM58 at the end and record a clean voice rather record outside.
