Recording software can have a significant impact on the sound quality of a recording. If you’re editing a recording that you made yourself, be aware of possible sound quality issues. For recordings you make with a recorder that you rent or borrow, the quality of the recording can be affected by various factors, including the quality of the recording equipment, the quality of the microphone, and the quality of the recording environment.     If you plan to upload your recordings to a streaming service like Spotify, Amazon Music, or Apple Music, the quality of the recording will also be affected by the streaming service’s quality controls.
