I have a question and issue. I have recorded some narration, but it is not that great. My Zoom H6 mic pics up a lot of background noise even with my windows and doors closed as my house is located on a pretty busy street. I don't have the budget to go to recording studios. Any advice to record my voice professionally using this Zoom H6 mic? Thank you.
Note: Someone mentioned recording curtains and create a booth or tent? I have no idea about this.
Update: For recording narration is it recommend getting a mic that records from one direction (in front of it - cardioid) or one that picks up sounds from all corners of the room (omnidirectional)? Becuase the H6 tends to pick up all the sounds from the room as well as any noise from outside. So maybe I should buy another cardioid mic for recording narration? Would that help remove most of the slight ambient noise from elsewhere around the room and from outside?
Update 2: I found out that I was using the wrong capsule. I should have used x/y capsule that came with the zoom for more of an unidirectional mic.
