Specifically, the new installment of 10 videos focuses on microphone recording basics for various instruments including banjo, brass instruments, dobro, mandolin, organ, piano, saxophone, small ensembles, stereo techniques, strings, and woodwinds.

Gary Boss, Audio-Technica marketing director, stated, "About a year ago we released a series of videos with microphone recording basics and drum miking techniques. The videos were so well-received that we decided to round out the series with 10 additional videos featuring other popular instruments and recording methods. We feel that with the final installment in this series, A-T has created a comprehensive guide to microphone basics for virtually any application. You don't need to be a beginner to learn tips from the 'basics' videos -- there's something there for all skill levels."
