• 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.
