Hi, I'm making my homerecording studio in a bedroom. The bedroom has a carpeted floor, and the acoustics I think can be improved but I don't detect any standing waves or reverberation. The problem I have is that I live in a place in front of a river and there are many crickets chirping at night plus local frogs that make a damn high pitch chorus, there are too many... Ok, I'm considering buying a condenser microphone (large diaphragm) but I've heard about those mics, and it seems I need a soundproof alternative before attempting to record with a condenser mic. I forgot to tell that the room has a window about 7' x 5' where the sound enters, the window shades are metal, when I close them I have found that the external noise reduces by about 11 dB. But it still can be heard and my dynamic mic captures the crickets so a condenser will make a trash recording as I understand. How can I proceed? forget about condensers? Soundproof the windows? but how? record during the day?[no crickets (sorry can't do that)] Oh, I record in a computer also inside my bedroom will it be too noisy? if yes how can I silence the computer? Damn there are too many questions...
Please if someone can give me an alternative. I appreciate the suggestions given in these type of forums... thanks in advance.
