Any tips on isolating the noise of a laptop fan when doing audio recording? Even my OH's posh directional desk mike still picks up an annoying whine.
Trying to muffle the laptop is likely to reduce its ability to cool itself and in turn make the fan spin faster and louder. Easier to get USB & HDMI extension leads and put the laptop outside the room.
If it's not going directly into specific software, your phone will do a decent job of recording audio.
2 squash balls cut in half to hold up the 4. corners of the laptop? Deaden the fan hum through the rubber and increase airflow.
I’ve had a condenser mic that did pick up a little background from a MacBook.
