Abstract
Microphone selection—the strategic pairing of microphone make and model with each sound to be recorded—is one of the most important decisions a sound engineer must make. The technical specifications of the microphone identify which transducers are capable of functioning properly for any given recording task, but the ultimate decision is a creative one. The goal is for the performance capabilities of the microphone to not only address any practical recording session challenges, but also flatter the sound of the instrument, whether in pursuit of palpable realism or a fictionalized new timbre. The creative decision is informed, in part, by demonstrated success in prior recordings, the most important of which are described for that essential pop music instrument: the voice.
