The microphone input signal should never be over 0 dB Here are the two golden rules to keep in mind:
Set your own microphone first, then do the same with you guests’ by making them talk – they can introduce themselves as a warm-up, for instance. Slowly turn the gain up so the signal reaches about -16 dB. Adjust the microphone properly and speak normally. The gain of the microphone cannot be set by ear you must check the input signal of your recorder or interface. Be careful: the output volume (in the earphones) is nothing like the input volume (microphone), so keep the output volume low enough. Use your earphones while recording and give some to your guests as well if you can, just to hear if one of them is too far from his/her microphone or if a strange noise disturbs the session. Finally, record each participant on separate tracks. Depending on your microphone, consider using a windscreen or an anti-pop filter to protect it from plosives (“p”, “b” and “t” that send air in the cap).
Use one microphone per speaker, with a stand or a tripod that would be high enough for the microphone to be in front of their mouths – you will then avoid the noises resulting from holding the microphone. Go for 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rates (audible frequencies would be lost with lower sample rates) and for 24-bit deep audios (it is better for detail and dynamism). WAV format (not compressed) – you will end up with an mp3 indeed, but you’d rather have a high-quality file when mixing.
