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?!
