I like to set the height of the mic where it makes me slightly tilt my head upward. This way I don’t have to worry about kicking the bottom of the stand while I am singing. I like to adjust the boom arm on the mic stand so that it has a little bit of an angle. Next you want to get the stand set at a comfortable height and position for you to sing in. That’s not something you want to have happen with a mic you’ve spent a couple hundred dollars on.
Also make sure that the screw that holds the microphone up is tightened down all the way, otherwise the microphone basket will drop, and could potentially fall out. Once that is tight, you can set the microphone into the basket on the stand. You need to screw this in so that it’s seated all the way and tightened down. This is usually a unit that comes with the condenser mic to attach to the end of the mic stand. So let’s start with the basic mechanical stuff. This is the process you go through when you first set up your microphone and get it working in FL Studio.Īfter you have done some of these steps, you won’t have to do them every time. These are a few of the basic components that I recommend you have for your home studio. For this example, I am going to be using the following pieces of equipment: This can all seem a little confusing when you are starting out.
