What You Will Learn?

  • Do you love the sound of ribbon microphones but you don’t have the budget? Are you looking for a unique recording sound to add to your production tool kit? .
  • In this class I will teach you how to make a ribbon microphone using affordable easy to find materials. The microphone you create using this technique can be used for recording basically anything! I use my hand made ribbon microphones to record all kinds of audio including vocals and instruments in my music. I even used one of my hand made ribbon microphones to record the voice over and music  for this class. .
  • Why ribbon microphones? .
  • In a world where music production is incredibly accessible it can be difficult to stand out, that is where a ribbon microphone comes in. Each handmade microphone is unique. No one else in the whole world will have a microphone quite like your own ribbon mic. .
  • Ribbon microphones are fantastic for creating a classic recording style and can bring a beautiful colour to your vocal recordings! .
