“Microphones are not ears - they cannot filter out the sound of an air conditioning unit like your brain can with the sounds that come in through your ears."

In today’s episode of Podlogix, host Derrick Michaud welcomes Andrew Michael to the show. Andrew is a friend and audio engineer that’s an integral part of our team. Derrick and Andrew share what you may need for audio equipment, recording tips and techniques, types of microphones (XLR to USB), and other equipment recommendations.

Andrew co-wrote an e-book along with Derrick Michaud and Nicole Reed to help with more in-depth technical situations. Check out the ebook here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxtgvptramf8btr/Podcast%20Equipment%20Secrets.pdf?dl=0
