3 Common mistakes made when picking a microphone

The most common question I hear from producers, engineers, artist, etc.. revolves around which microphones are worth it and which ones are just hype.But the reality is that none of us have $10k to drop on a microphone, and even established studios are probably better off investing that money elsewhere. That being said, today’s younger engineer should know how to spend their hard earned money on microphones that will not only capture flawless takes with minimal post-processing but will also be utilitarian enough to work in a variety of circumstances.
