Hometracked serves the music world's indie engineers: Independent musicians who record, produce, and promote their own work. The web abounds in knowledge for recording hobbyists (and professionals,) from communities of sound production enthusiasts, like Homerecording.com to industry periodicals like Mix Magazine. But for many, the volume of free information is as much curse as blessing. Hometracked is a home recording weblog, filtering the mess of information for good stuff (check out the most popular pages,) with a focus on the techniques and tips you need to make and market great music. Even if you record in a bedroom.

Mixers are a different commodity than, say, cars. In the auto industry each model year is greeted with excitement and last year's models start to lose their luster. With audio mixers, true innovation usually has a long shelf-life and even conventional products that are executed well can hang around for years.

As with anything else in the audio world, there are very definite rules about which microphones you should use in different circumstances. There are particular mics regarded as the best. Like rules everywhere, the definitive ones are just easy to break, and "best of" lists that don't consider budget simply aren't practical.
