Dynamic mics/Condensator Mics - What's the difference?
Well, the question is already asked, what's the difference? :O

Basically a dynamic works like a speaker in reverse where the sound waves move a diaphram inside of a magnetic coil to produce the signal. In a condensor mic two plates are separated by a small distance like a capacitor. One plate moves with the sound waves and the other is stationary, the varying distance between the two plates creates the signal.
That's the technical difference, so how that all tanslates into sound is the condensor mic is faster (more responsive) and much more sensitive than a dynamic mic. Condesors will pick up a lot more detail than a dynamic and they are also generally brighter sounding than dynamics.... The brightness can be a good or a bad thing, because condensors can have a tendency to be "overly" bright and sound harsh. Each mic has its advantages depending on the source you are miking. I gave some general uses for these type of mics (and ribbon mics as well) in a lesson on microphones here:

Thanks Tekker--
Awesome descriptions here, and in your lessons on microphones.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
