Here is a good trick to use when trying to determine if your room is quite enough for some sort of music studio. Condenser mics have the biggest problem with this type of noise because it is much easier to pick up sounds in the room. If you’re using a dynamic microphone, then it will be more directional and have less of an issue with background noise. Before you start thinking you need a new mic, check out some common causes of the buzz. Most of the time it is as simple as a subtle noise that only your mic can pick up or a bad cable in these cases, you don’t have to waste as much time with diagnostics and can easily fix the problem and get on your way recording. But let’s look at each checkpoint in a little more detail to help you narrow down the cause. There are many different reasons as to why your microphone might be buzzing and depending on the cause there is a possibility that one or more of the checks above could fix it. How to fix a buzzing condenser mic? First, run some diagnostics. While this can be very frustrating, here are some ways to look for cause and finally fix your buzzing mic.
