Very cool stuff. What kind of mic are you using to record these? What's your recording set up like?

[XTREEMMAK]

Thanks for the compliment man!

Surprising enough, the mic is an El Cheapo MXL 990 which basically costs about $60.00. However, as cheap as it is, there is a reason why I now have two of them and the MXL 991. It's a pretty decent detailed mic for the price and with the right mix, you can get a fantastic recording.

Though for me, I am benefiting from running the mic also into a Great River Mic Pre with the interface being a RME Fireface 800, but what's lazy of me is that I have a Neumann TLM 103 sitting in my mic cabinet and I dont even use it lol. Thing is, the MXL has a larger diaphragm that captures a bit more low subtleties in my voice were as the TLM may make it too bright. Though, the TLM sounds excellent on vocals so when I'm or anyone else is singing, I use that usually.

I would go into further detail on my setup, but it's rather complicated lol. Instead, go to my YouTube channel and see if for yourself
