As I mentioned in my last article, there are two basic types of microphones: Dynamic mics & condenser mics. They are each used for different purposes in the recording studio. You can use this page as a quick reference to know which mic to use when.

What To Record With Dynamic Mics:

• Electric guitar amps.
• Bass guitar amps.
• Any other kind of amplified sound.
• Drums (bass, toms, & snare.)

What To Record With Condenser Mics:

• Vocals.
• Acoustic instruments.
• Drums (hi-hats, cymbals, & overall drum sound.)
