Recording in a studio can be expensive. Fortunately, with the increasingly wide availability of high-quality audio equipment and microphones, people can choose to save money on exorbitant studio fees by doing the recording themselves. One of the most effective positions for your microphone is to hang it from the ceiling. This allows for an even balance of sound, especially if it is a group of musicians or speakers being recorded.
