Voice Recording: Microphones, Rooms, and What Actually Matters

EPISODE 4Not all microphones are created equal — and choosing the wrong one can sink an otherwise great recording, but a great mic in a bad room sounds worse than a cheap mic in a treated one. Jim Stauffer and John put a range of mics to the test: condenser mics, dynamic mics, and ribbon mics. Whether you're setting up a home recording studio for the first time or refining an existing setup, this episode covers mic selection, microphone placement, acoustic treatment, and the essential do's and don'ts of voice recording at home.Parpers: Jim Stauffer, John Terelle, Amanda Nazario, Karen Martin, and Pippin
