At Sweetwater’s GearFest ’09, Frank Filipetti, Craig Anderton, Dusty Wakeman, Geoff Daking, and Fab Dupont shared the stage with Sweetwater’s Editorial Director, Mitch Gallagher, for a wide-ranging two-hour conversation about recording and audio. When the topic turned to buying gear, the recommendations flew. But all the panelists agreed: purchase one great microphone. Having a great mic allows you to capture vocals and other sources with excellent quality, and provides a good base upon which to build your audio productions.
