This week, Gabe and I answer member questions on building an audio career and solving technical mix problems. We discuss finding clients, live choir mic techniques, choosing a graduate program, and carving out space to balance vocals with instruments.
JZ Microphones is releasing a new Hybrid microphone and extending a 21% discount to the subscribers of our newsletter.
From their website:
MU-1 is the world’s first studio microphone to combine a ribbon and a large-diaphragm condenser inside one level-matched, phase-coherent, perfectly aligned microphone body. Built around a patent-pending hybrid capsule architecture, MU-1 combines a ribbon capsule with JZ’s Golden Drop™ condenser capsule — capturing ribbon body and condenser detail simultaneously. Engineers can blend both signals or use each independently for greater flexibility and consistent studio results.
In addition to the MU-1 Release, JZ Microphones is also running a Summer Sale where you can get up to 50% off their entire catalog, including their flagship microphone models.
The Summer Sale is currently running through June 24th. Take advantage of this generous discount today!
This reference guide profiles historical and widely used dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones. It outlines their technical specifications, such as microphone type, polar pattern, and common applications, alongside historical context explaining why each model became an industry standard in studio recording, live performance, and broadcasting.
Whether you're just starting out, or a seasoned professional, this is a great reference guide.
