Recommendations

Place the microphone on a stable stand and keep a consistent distance for even voice capture; enable the low-cut filter when excessive room or keyboard noise is present. When using XLR, adjust gain on your mixer/interface to avoid clipping; when using USB, confirm sample rate and input level in your software before recording.
