Audition Tips for a Plekxa Project with Affordable Recording Gadgets

Some independent artists are literally recording next to a noisy fan or waiting for

electricity to be reinstalled, whatever it is, we can relate to it all.

The truth is, not everyone has the luxury of walking into a fancy studio with neon lights and state-of-the-art gear.

But this shouldn’t stop your dreams or goals because at Plekxa, we’re not scouting for

perfect conditions but for raw talent, resilience and determination.

If you’re bold enough to show up with your sound, even if it’s on a budget, we’re already impressed.

So, if you’ve been dreaming of getting on a Plekxa project but feel like you don’t have

“industry-standard” equipment, this post is for you, and here’s how to audition like a

pro, without breaking the bank.

What Does Plekxa Look For?

Before we go into gadgets, let’s clear the air. Plekxa is redefining what it means to be an

uprising artist with a stable career and income.

We care more about your vibe, voice,

clarity, creativity, and authenticity than whether you recorded in a padded booth or

your mom’s kitchen.

That said, you still want your audition to sound clean enough to communicate your

sound. And that’s where these affordable tools come in.

5 Affordable Recording Gadgets for Your Plekxa Audition

1. USB Condenser Microphones:

If you’re using your phone to record vocals, it's time to level up. A good USB mic can

dramatically improve your sound quality without needing a sound card or mixer.

2. Pop Filter:

This small gadget can clean up harsh sounds (like your “P” and “S” sounds) and make

you sound more polished. Don’t skip this, it makes a difference, even if you're recording

with a budget mic.

3. Phone Tripod and Mic Holder:

Don’t hold your phone or mic in your hand like you're vlogging in 2015. Keep it steady.

Let your hands be free so you can focus on your delivery and energy.

4. Closed-Back Headphones:

Monitoring your vocals while recording helps you avoid shouting, whispering, or singing

off-key. Closed-back headphones give you that studio-like experience from your bedroom.

5. A Recording App That Works:

If you’re recording on a phone, apps like BandLab, Dolby On, or FL Studio Mobile can

give you surprisingly clean vocals. Combine this with a decent mic and you’re halfway

there.

How to Nail a Plekxa Audition with These Tools

Now that you’re equipped, here’s what to keep in mind:

Clarity over perfection – Don’t over-edit your vocals, because we want to hear you.
Control your environment – Record when it's quiet, avoid background sounds or noise.
Delivery is key – We’re listening to your confidence and presence.
Test before you record – Do a few test runs and listen back. Adjust mic distance, reduce background noise, and check volume levels.
Send only your best – Don’t send us everything you’ve recorded. One killer verse can do the magic.
