Microphone techniques as well as various approaches to room set-up are presented through reading assignments and studio demonstrations. Attention is given both to traditional techniques and the need for engineers to try new approaches to familiar circumstances. Students also study the most commonly used signal processors and how they might be used during recording or mixing for best results.
