In this week's session we cover several questions:

- In what order should I apply effects when editing my audio clips?
- How do I learn when to use which microphone?
- When I shoot a piece with multiple mics for the same project in different rooms, how do I ensure they sound similar?
- Somebody recorded a world-class pianist on an ice flow in the arctic. How did they do that?!
