Zoom or Tascam? Rode or Earthworks? What’s the difference between an omni and a shotgun? And, are you Shure? Transom’s Tools Editor, Jeff Towne walks through some of the newest innovations, and old standards, in mics and recorders for field and studio recording. He’ll talk about their pluses and minuses and how mics and recorders best work together. There will be plenty of time for questions.
