I should be your go-to guy here... I'm about to start my second year at Leeds Met studying Music Technology. Smile

However your question is wayyy too vague for a lazy-minded guy like me. Very Happy

Hey leo Smile Right, a few months ago I did an essay on microphones, not sure if it was actually any good but I know it had some sweet ass diagrams Wink Anyway, more importantly, I used an essay published by Sound On Sound for my main point of research, so I figured you'd find that quite useful too!

Choosing A Microphone: Microphone types and uses by Paul White
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1995_articles/jun95/microphones.html

And here's my essay, but honestly, Sound on Sound is a better source than a waster like me Razz
