# Recording High-Quality Datasets

> 30-60 minutes of clean and varied audio will result in the highest-quality voice models.

## Clean audio

The highest-quality voice models are recorded:

* with a [quality microphone](/train/microphones-audio) into an [audio interface](/train/microphones-audio)

* in a [noise-free setting with limited room reverberations](/train/recording-environment)

* with [correct and consistent mic placement](/train/microphone-placement)

* with [volume peaks between -9db and -3db](/train/volume-level)

And [processed](/train/audio-post-processing):

* with consistent dynamics across the whole dataset

* with light EQ to remove any muddiness, hiss, etc.

* with compression/limiting to smooth out peaks

* with no reverb, delay, or doubling
