How Microphones Work - Different Types of Microphones I recently wrote this article on how microphones work, and the differences between the 3 main common types (dynamic, condenser, ribbon). I'd love to get some feedback on it. Also I'm going to include a section from it in the post below...

What are some effective ways to record electric bass guitar? I haven't had luck plugging it directly to my audio interface, even with EQ and compression I just can't achieve a good tone. Maybe it's because it's a lower end bass guitar? Should I hook it to an amp and mic the cabinet or something...
