Recording Tips is a valuable resource for learning to record with ribbon mics. Here you'll find suggestions for getting started with Royer ribbons, pictures of many different proven mic positions, MP-3's, comments on which mics we suggest for different recording tasks, and other ribbon microphone tips that could be helpful to you in your quest for great recordings.

Before digging in to the different sections, we suggest you listen to these brief discussions on microphones by one of the great recording engineers of our time, Bruce Swedien. The multiple Grammy winner has a deep love and respect for his microphones, and his thoughts are invaluable for all of us who are interested in the art of recording.
