98% of all home studio producers Do NOT UNDERSTAND the basics of a great recording setup, according to a statistic I just made up.

Do you really *get* the signal flow of a pro session, from the different types of Mics, to A/D & D/A Converters, and all the way through back to your monitors...or do you still struggle with some of the basic concepts, limiting your ability to make great records?
