Ελαχιστοποίηση θορύβων περιβάλλοντος

• Minimize noise sources around you - close windows, go to a quiet room, turn off any other devices that might include a fan.

• Try different microphones - your computer's built in microphone, headphones or even your phone's microphone.

• If you are using a computer and you encounter white noise on your recordings, use a headset. Even a simple pair of headphones with mic will significantly reduce parasites.

• If you are already using a headset on your computer and encounter white noise, go to the sound parameters of your computer and lower the level of your microphone.

Side Note: make sure that the chosen microphone is the headset one. To do so, go to sound parameters, sound entry, and click "analogic" or "headset".
