Tip of the day: There’s often much excitement and adrenaline rushing when a singer or emcee is standing at the microphone sweating and spit/spraying those dope lyrics. You may even encounter some musty body odor to go along with that! Hey, I’m just keeping it real!:)
However, to keep the area sanitary, especially now days with several ‘catchy’ illnesses out there; I have a solution. Drive down to a dollar store and pick up a can of Lysol and Lysol wipes. After each session, remove your microphone and place it back in its case. (I always do this after each session to prevent dust particles from settling on it.)
Mildly spray your sound room or area of which the recording took place using the Lysol. Also mildy spray the popper stopper (if applicable) connected to your mic stand. Don’t soak it down and please test first to ensure safety to your equipment.
Use the Lysol wipes to wipe down your headphones and mic stand. As I’m a stickler for avoiding strong odor or fumes, try to go with a mild scent.
Remember; your clients are the ones to benefit from this the most… and now doesn’t that make you happy?!

RT @LadyProducHer Keeping It Sanitary In The Studio http://tinyurl.com/ylo2xb9 Clean is Always Good! Read & take notice.
I totally agree with you on this Lady! I make it part of my everyday thing to keep my equipment wiped down. I also replaced my old cloth pop filter with one of the new metal ones which makes it easier to keep clean because it can be washed or wiped down without having to wait for it to dry or put back together so this works out great. Plus, it seems to make my recordings sound better on the high end as cloth pop filters seem to muffle the highs in vocals a tad bit.
Another thing I do is keep extra sticks of deodorant and mouthwash on hand and offer clients to take “fresh breaks” to help keep the clients and the studio sanitary… Every little thing helps.
@Khaos.. Boyee you a fool with the deodorant and the mouthwash… I like that! I’m going to have to add that to the list… Uhm…wonder if coming from a lady… it will create any offensiveness? Men seem to get away with these things without any harm done.
