It's that time of month again... the new issue has arrived, and it's a record issue.

Bad puns aside, we're thrilled to bring you our first official recording-themed issue. You'll notice that this issue features quite a few different lists to help you sort through all the options available for recording:

♦ In "5 Studio Setups You Should Know About," we visit five different studios and see how they approach recording differently.
♦ Then, we take a look at how 18 different mics will record your electric guitar sound differently in "18 Electric Guitar Mics You Should Meet," with sound examples for each one.
♦ For those looking for a quick recording solution for practice or songwriting, we check find the "10 Best Digital Recorders for Guitarists"

Also on the recording tip, we took a look into some of the more mysterious gear that might come in handy for recording:

♦ "Ribbon Mics 101" gives you some basic information and reasons why you might want to employ one of these for your recordings
♦ "Attenuators and Their Many Uses" takes a look at what an attenuator can help you accomplish
♦ "The Importance of the Microphone Preamp" looks into... the importance of the microphone preamp.

For this month's artist interviews, we chatted with
Nils Lofgren, a guy who's seen it all in his illustrious career (Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Neil Young), and Bill Hullett, one of Nashville's top session players.

And if you're looking for new gear, we reviewed:
Plus, of course, all of our usual columns. You can see everything in this issue here, or visit our online magazine, where you can see the whole magazine, cover to cover, for free, along with all of our back issues (also free).
