…And I didn’t even know it. I need shock mounts for my condenser microphones, or at least so the articles say. I thought all I had to do was keep from bumping them and it would be fine… little did I know about the insidious metallic ringing due to sound conduction by the microphone clip and as soon as I read that, I could hear it in everything I’ve recorded. Yeah, that’s it, it’s not my barely neophytic engineering skills, oh no, it’s not my fault at all. So now, I need them, they’re the answer to all my current and future recording problems, the holy grail of home recording, no…really. And no matter how hard I try to resist, I’ll end up buying them. I know I will.

Oh and today’s one quick bit of shameless promotion. If you read the blog and listen to the podcast, like it and have iTunes, please review the podcast this week, if possible, it will rank the show as high with multiple reviews in a short time span and get it bumped up to the front page of the Music area, so sayeth my friend who hasn’t been wrong yet.
