What makes a great recording? Is it the microphone, the preamp, the room… or the engineer?
In this episode of The Hitmakers Room, host Steve Owens sits down with RJ Cloud, founder of Cloud Microphones and creator of the legendary Cloudlifter, for an in-depth conversation about microphones, recording techniques, studio gear, podcasting, and the pursuit of great sound.
