The sea of marketing created in this environment has left quite a few home recording enthusiasts scratching their heads in confusion. Below you will find some basic recommendations on the key equipment needed to start your own home recording studio. Find out more

This deal is OVER, and the mic is back to its regular price.

The Stupid Deal of the Day is for an AKG Perception 200 condenser microphone. This is a great mic to have in your home recording studio. After an SM57 or three, a decent large diaphragm condenser is the next mic purchase I recommend for the small recording studio operator and this mic will fill the role marvelously.

Normal street price on this baby is $160 but click the Stupid Deal picture to get it at about 40% off. Today only!

Today’s stupid deal of the day is the AKG Perception 150 small diaphragm condenser mic. The deal is good only for today. These are great mics and would fit great into any home recording studio mic cabinet. They normally go for about $130 but are much cheaper for today’s deal. The Perception 150 works great on acoustic guitars, drum overheads, and any other application a small diaphragm condenser might typically be used in. I like having a matched pair of small diaphragm condensers for stereo mic techniques. At this price, you can get two of them for only slightly more than the cost of a single on any other day. Enjoy!

Mixing is certainly a specialized craft but I believe in learning all I can about my craft. Much of my time is occupied by reading about mixing, talking about mixing, thinking about mixing, and actually mixing. This page is intended to serve as a resource for finding some interesting mixing related material to help you hone your own craft. Our home studio is our playground and there are many books available to help us learn the ropes. Show me some mixing books »
