If you’re looking for a really good vocal microphone that can record essentially any instrument with clarity and punch, the Rode NT1-A is one workhorse you’re going to want to familiarize yourself with.

We must be in Memphis – we took a quick swing by the legendary Sun Studios, snapped a few photos, and continued on to the factory. The sign to not stand in the street seems like solid advice. The Memphis factory is very unusual as it is located right in the downtown core of Memphis, near Beale Street and the...
