Hello,
I bought my first microphone. I waiting for more about record vocals etc because I bought a microphone. I want that in places where I don't have an acoustic screen etc, better will be a dynamic microphone, but I buy this nt1-a on black friday for half of the price, and can't return it.
At the moment I using this monitor with my focusrite 4i4.

My questions:
a) I must set gain for 1/4 to 2/4 max power, in another way I hear bird from window.
Fix for this is mount acustic screen etc, yes?
b) I using headphones DT 770 PRO, and if I want hear myself when I singing, I must setup gain for microphone setup minimum for 3/4+, but in this scenario I hear birds etc :) How I can fix it?
c) I should use with my microphone on focusrite option 48v, and inst/air/pad option?

Which setup will best for amature recording?

Close the windows? Wait until it is dark so the birds are quiet? Maybe sing closer to the mic...

Put a blanket or a jacket over your head as you record with mike. Takes away a lot of room reflections.

With enough cable you can probably go to a closet for recording too. Cloth in general is good absorbant.
