article: Soundproofing really does two things. It makes the room quieter by blocking out outside noise. It also makes the sound quality better on recording by absorbing excess acoustic ambience. Professional soundproofing can be expensive. Acoustic foam or panels work if you have money to spend, but may run you significant costs for a large studio. One inexpensive way to reduce sound is in the selection of the studio space. Try to select a live room without windows and with heavy, thick walls or thick insulation. If you are on a budget, get some blankets and cover up any windows and doors to reduce background noise. Added mass to the walls, like foam, also helps to increase the room's sound absorption. This should reduce echoes. repare a vocal booth. Most studios set aside space specifically for vocals. Vocals can be hard to record. They should be recorded standing up, which makes it easier for the singer to sustain a good sound. The mic should also be at a comfortable height. The vocal booth is an isolation booth, so it should be acoustically isolated. Make sure to soundproof it as best you can. The mic itself should have a pop filter to protect it from saliva and to filter out sharp sounds, like t's and s's. If you don't have a pop filter, you can buy one for $10 or $20. If your mic is directional, so that only one side picks up sound, turn it so the side of the mic is facing the vocalist. His mouth should be about 10-15 cm away from the mic when singing. This distance shouldn't be altered too much, as it will cause the recording to sound off. You'll want mics to be just far enough from the sound source (i.e. acoustic instruments or amplifiers) so that they don't hinder the musicians. This typically doesn't involve a pop filter of any kind. If you have a small instrumental mic, use that. Instructions are usually included with the user manual. Use component mics or a single mic above the drums. Recording drums will vary according to the type of sound you want and what kind of gear the musicians come with. The best drum sound comes from single mics that clip onto individual components. You can then put these on the same channel in the DAW. If you don't feel like outfitting each component with a separate mic, take one mic and position it a few feet above the center of the kit. No pop filter is needed but make sure to face the mic's recording side down. Doing so will add more "room sound" to the mix.

article: If using a disposable razor, choose four or five blade razors instead of single blade razors. Single blade razors will drag against your skin more. If you shave with a reusable razor, change your blade after 5 to 10 shaves. Dull and/or old blades are more likely to cause bumps, redness, and contain bacteria. If you are prone to ingrown hairs, try an electric razor or clippers. Hold the razor or clipper slightly away from your skin when you shave. If you are using a disposable razor, you should replace it after it has been used for 5 to 7 shaves. This will keep your skin from getting irritated. Look for razors with moisturizing strips that contain Acai or Jojoba oil. Only safety razors should be used to shave pubic hair. Shave your hair in the same direction that your hair grows. Although you will get a closer shave by shaving against the grain, you will increase your chances of irritating your skin. If you want a closer shave, you can shave against the grain once you have gone over your skin by shaving with the grain. Your skin may be able to tolerate it if you do it this way. Do not pull your skin super tightly as you shave. Shave lightly if you are shaving over acne blemishes. Never try to shave off your acne with the blade. Shaving with the grain will also help prevent ingrown hairs. Rinse your blade after every stroke as well. Be gentle and shave slowly. You are more likely to cut yourself if you are rushing. The razor should be doing the work. You should not have to press the razor down too hard. If you feel like your razor is not working or you have to go over your skin repeatedly, it's probably time to get a new razor or change the blade. Once you are finished shaving, thoroughly rinse your skin with water and pat your skin dry. Make sure all of the shaving cream is gone. If you notice any rough spots or areas with hair remain, you can reapply the shaving cream and shave the area again. However, multiple strokes increases your chance of irritation. Apply lotion or an after-shave balm to your skin once you are finished. Avoid products that contain alcohol or any fragrance as these products can dry out and irritate your skin. Look for products that are moisturizing and are formulated for dry and/or sensitive skin. This step is critical because shaving dries out your skin. Aloe vera is soothing to sensitive skin and can be applied after you get done shaving. If you experience ingrown hairs, razor burn, bumps, and/or cuts after you shave, you must take care of your skin to prevent further irritation. A warm compress can be applied to bumps and ingrown hairs. For ingrown hairs, a sterile needle can be inserted under hair loops to lift the hairs as well. If your skin is consistently irritated after shaving, take a look at the products and razors that you are using. 1% hydrocortisone cream can be used for itchy skin. Apply the cream two or three ties a day. To treat razor burn, look for products that contain Wheat Germ, Yeast Extract, Vitamin E, Soybean Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, and Silicones. Wait until your skin has healed before shaving again. If your skin does not get any better, you should see a health care professional.

article:
Separate your mask from the headgear by detaching the arms that secure it to the outer frame and fabric backstrap. Then gently pull the mask away from the ring that connects it to the tube. Check your machine's user guide for more specific instructions on disassembly. Wet the mask under running warm water. Use your hands to lather it with a mild soap, then rinse well until you've removed all soapy residue. You can use hand soap or baby shampoo, but be sure that your choice of soap doesn't contain moisturizers. Avoid products that contain bleach, ammonia, or alcohol. Check your user guide for any further warnings about cleaning products you should avoid. After rinsing, shake as much water off of the mask as you can. Lay the mask out on a clean towel or flat surface to air dry. Choose an area away from direct sunlight to dry your mask. It's perfectly fine to use mild soap and water to clean your CPAP mask every morning. However, you could also purchase CPAP mask wipes online or at your sleep center. Instead of washing your mask, you'd simply wipe it down then let it air dry for a minute or two. You can purchase a canister of 62 wipes online for around $10 (US).
