ABSTRACT
There are many aspects to sound and hearing that most of us take for granted. Our ear/brain combination is capable of extremely sophisticated discrimination, enabling us to concentrate selectively on sound from one or two sources within a complex aural background; which may often comprise sound from many sources arriving at our ears simultaneously. Thus, before we start to use a mic, let's delve into some basic sound theory, so that we're aware of why things may not always turn out as expected.
