Microphones/Audio Recording

I wasn't able to be in class when we discussed this because I was attending the OMEA conference, but in reviewing the video, I learned some more differences between the microphones that I discussed in the first audio recording blog. When I recorded that, I used a Shure SM58 microphone , which is a pretty standard vocal microphone because, unlike the SM57, there is a screen to block the sound of the air flow created by the voice. These are both examples of condenser microphones.

Also, feedback is one of the most commonly encountered issues when using microphones, and there are four ways to avoid that: Point the microphone away from the speaker, aim the microphone toward the sound being produced, hold the microphone in the correct position, and keep the volume at a reasonable level.
