AUDIO TEST KITCHEN REVIEW: FIND THE PERFECT MICROPHONE
Audio Test Kitchen will allow you to hear how tons of different mics sound. That way, you can make an informed decision about which ones are for you.
Each and every microphone has its own unique sound. The way a microphone colors your sound can make or break a recording.
That’s why some microphones are beloved on vocals, while others are famous for bass. And it’s a producer’s job to know which mics sound good on what.
I can say from personal experience this can take years to figure out.
I learned through trial and error in various studios. I compared different microphones to figure out what they were doing.
But you don’t have to waste years like I did.
You can get an encyclopedic knowledge of studio mics without spending a dime.
