I begin this episode with a quick health update and then we turn our attention to four key ingredients for recording exceptional initial audio. Taking the time to get the best audio we can initially can save hours in post-production. Here's a look at the four ingredients for a great recording:

• Room Treatments
• Microphone Placement
• Selecting the Right Microphone Type
• Good Microphone Technique
