Thanks on the feed back! was going for the kirby 64 sound
----------------------------
Fine its not that crappy, still...
I used and borrowed a fair amount of capacitor microphones and dynamic microphones in the past for sampling sounds for mini sample packs and recording rap/sing vocals, and I must say the Mxl 990 Has the harshest high ends and and dullest mids from most of what I tried. Not very mix friendly(imo). However (at least for me) it is good with instruments like violins and trumpets (which it was also advertised for), aggressive vocals,or anything other than distorted amps.
For this song the mic was mid edge of the cone(slightly of axis with 2" distance from cone) for a nice warm rhythm tone. The lead was centered with 1" from the cone.
I do get good results with miking guitars with this mic, but having to cut all high end at 15khz...
