You won't find any Neumann microphones at the frugal Milquetoast Sounds studio, so it's no surprise that when they decided to pick up a Neve Designed Portico 5012, they also decided to use it as much as possible.

And before you drop a bundle on a studio microphone, check out what Gerard has to say about the Studio Projects C1, a microphone you can find for under $300.00. It's not about how much you spend, but how you use the things you have -- or as Phileas Fogg would say, "learn to use what you have got, and you won't need what you have not."
