Over the years, I’ve heard people tell me a lot of things that they believe to be true, but aren’t.

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: I’ve been told to do 24 hour burn-ins on all my new tube mics. What does the tube go through in that 24 hour period (if anything really) that makes the tube better?

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: Hi! I’m an intern at Studio Name Omitted and I have a question for you. I love the way a rack of gear looks all lit up, but every so often there are these open spaces.
