Welcome to our first MT issue of the year. I trust you've had (or are having) an enjoyable break with family and friends and are feeling rejuvenated in time for the start of term.

This month's MT dives deep into recording and from a practical perspective. We have professional sound engineer Ken Blair explain the conventions around mic'ing according to musical genre, based on how listeners consume pop and classical. We have A Level Music Tech guru Tim Hallas describe how to teach recording, covering the basics and analogue (remember that?), and how to capture, edit or process sound. And we have producer/performer/DJ and teacher Nico Bentley advise readers on DAW organisation, track-naming, and what to spend on mics or how to position your tweeters (without reference to Elon Musk).
