    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    Shout-out to (or for) Speakons :)

    What are some ribbons microphones with big bang for the buck?

    ATK is a great resource. Give it try! Fully scientific process. It can help narrow down the decision making. Correct that once you choose some mics to try, that you should test them on your own in several of your own studio scenarios.
