I'm 17 and the family I live with is really dirty and doesn't care. The main problem is we have like 8 cats and there is hair and dust EVERYWHERE. If I leave a drink out anywhere it will get hair in it within 5 minutes guaranteed. No matter how much I clean my family doesn't do much to help and just makes it dirtier and since I don't own the place there's not much I can do about it. Anyone have any tips on how to keep dust out of my food or away from it as much as possible?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but imma ask away. I plan on making a career out of music and of course need a mic but there is so much stuff to learn about all of this stuff i'm lost. I'm currently looking at a shure sm58 which i heard is the standard and I heard some samples and thought it was nice. I have an untreated room currently so think it would be best. Everytime I hear a condenser in an untreated room I always hear a slight echo that I hate. Only thing is I hear from a lot of people it's better to just somehow cut out noise or make it sound more like a dynamic. I don't know how to do that at all yet and didn't know if i should go along with getting the sm58 or look for a condenser mic. Is cutting out the noise easy? I have a very good ear I feel even though I haven't recorded music yet and feel like I'll hear the slightest things. So when cutting out back round noise will it affect the vocals? I'm a bit of a perfectionist and am aware it's not going to be the best but want as good as I can get for what i'm able to do.

On top of that I realized audio interfaces matter maybe just as much as a good mic. I haven't heard of one of those until today. How important is the quality of one of those? Any recommendations?

I appreciate any help at all.
