Intro To Recording
Microphones are just like any other instrument: the same musician playing the same part through a different make or model is going to sound different.
The beautiful part of recording is that there are so many different sonic choices for so many applications. So how do you know which mic is the right one for the job? How do you even tell them apart?
Sometimes, people refer to a mic as a "kick mic" or a "vocal mic," but microphones were designed to capture sound, not specific instruments. While some mics may have a frequency response that makes a guitar or hi–hat sound particularly great, any microphone can be used to capture any sound.
Having said that, there are a few things that make some microphones better for certain jobs than others.
