Sound quality is a very relevant parameter for users who actively use Internet telephony or programs for sound recording. At first glance, it may seem that the main quality factor is the microphone, but in reality everything is somewhat more complicated.
Instructions
Step 1
In Internet telephony, the sound quality is determined by the quality of the connection. Moreover, a decent speed at both ends of the wire is equally important; both you and your interlocutor. This happens because programs (such as Skype) prioritize the stability of the conversation, and if you have a slow Internet connection, the software will automatically receive a signal of the worst quality so that you can listen to it without interruption. Stop downloading files, downloading videos or other traffic-consuming programs while talking to significantly increase the sound quality.
Step 2
Good sound quality is achieved by processing audio files. Ideal for this is the Adobe Audition program, which offers the richest tools for improving the quality of sound - noise removal, clarity enhancement and many different kinds of effects. Additionally, the user can install plug-ins into the program, which will automatically carry out some stages of processing. The best of them allow you to get almost studio quality sound on a regular karaoke microphone.
Step 3
Quality equipment, of course, plays an important role. The main feature is that microphones in the price range of 200-1000 rubles differ little from each other. You will get a truly significant increase in quality only by switching to professional studio equipment. This implies not only a microphone for 2,5 thousand rubles, but also a corresponding sound card and a sound amplifier. This is the only way to really make the equipment work "at full capacity": using a good microphone without a good sound card is useless, it simply will not cope with the quality of the supplied sound. In general, the cost of a more or less solid set starts from 6 thousand rubles, and it is worth purchasing it only if you are going to professionally engage in sound recording.
