WhisperAudios ASMR 👑

I’m tingly.

Sound engineering (if I can call what I do that) is a trial by fire. Sometimes you never think to do certain things until you make mistakes. Like for instance, placing towels underneath the tripod of your microphone.

Why?

Because low frequencies, like book taps or even keyboard typing sounds, travel much easier through surfaces. Which means a microphone's gain that's turned up can definitely hear those frequencies and it'll show up as this bassy undertone.

Even if you tap gently. (cue sounds of frustration and disappointed sighs)

It's super annoying to deal with after you've filmed an hour worth of footage. But it's also a very simple fix, apparently.

You just need to have something to absorb the sound, so my solution is towels. There's probably a better solution, like foam, because it's more compact (? don't quote me on that) compared to woven materials that have holes in them.

So my household set up is an upcycled towel folded a couple times.

You can see in this 'fast, but not aggressive tapping and scratching' asmr video of mine that my thin hand towel isn't doing the trick because you can still hear some bassy undertones scattered across the video. It's also not placed under the microphone because I learned all of this after.

Trial and error.

Trial.....and error... (also there's a pro and con to filming in batches, because once you realize you make one mistake, it's in all of them...yay...)
