• USB Microphone: Great for podcasting or home recordings. Examples include Blue Yeti or Audio-Technica AT2020.

• Lavalier Microphone: A clip-on mic ideal for interviews or mobile recording.

2) To have an audio recording you will need a microphones for eg the one we have in office is the rode mic and the boom mic. we also need a recording device to go along with that.

headphones are essential so that you can hear the quality of the audio that you recorded. XLR cables are also essential as it helps to record the sound.

but nowadays with digital audio theres only little loss of quality and is much easier to be recorded and sent to others

Those old CD lookin things also count as analog, I think.

Digital audio is purely recorded into the computer, and you edit it digitally with software like Audition

I chose the Royer R-10 Hot Rod microphone because Ribbon microphones are good for giving audio a smoother and warmer feel, as it softens harsh elements in the audio.

It also looks a bit like an air purifier so I think is cool.

• It is used for many purposes from recordings interviews in studios, to recording action scenes like gunshots

• "This dual-band switchable passive EQ offers low-cut and presence boost controls. Flat or with the low cut," makes this microphone more suitable for male voices with low frequencies

• Though its been around for a long period of time, it does not have cheap and simple components. Rather it has "Internal suspension and shock mounting system" which eliminates light vibration

• Most importantly, this microphone is deeply rooted in pop music's history, recording in studios and are responsible for collecting the sounds of the pop artist through the years till today!

I chose the Soyuz Lakeside single channel microphone preamp. Single channel preamps are good if you're only going to have one audio input, so it could be good for hobbyists.

I then realise that it can hold up to 30 channels
