[OohEmGeeItsTaylor]

i just got the mxl 990/991 package. it doesnt have the stand or the screen type thing that goes over the microphone. the sound does not sound very clear. can you tell me why? if i need the other attatchments then it looks like it might be a while before i start recording.

[denisbarinovx]

The squeak of the mic stand was in the same key. You think of EVERYTHING! THANK YOU! sounds awesome!

[tloztw]

Nice man I like it

[mirokanstyler]

When I heard the drums, I just went "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?" Didn't know one mic could get so much of the elements of a drum.

[AuroraSunset]

your right, im worng. your good, Im bad, your smart, im dumb, your good looking, im not...

[redskinwreckin]

hahaha i can dig this....lol!

[JORDOCARR]

i have a Boss RC-2 pedal, and am thinking about buying the 990/991 mic package, but do i need another mix deck for the 990 or can i just plug the 990 straight into the Boss RC-2 , and then plug the Boss straight into my amp??

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@JORDOCARR Yeah you do need something to convert the XLR type cable from the microphone to the TRL type input that the RC-2 has. :( I'd recommend something like an M-Audio Audio buddy, or a small mixing consol!

[iamLurkn]

I bought this same mic. The MXL 990 but it came with the shock mount, which I love. But I haven't used it yet due to the reason I haven't got a firebox for it yet...but from what I see & hear. This mic is great! Im eager to use it, thanks man & great video btw!

[Bricksmama]

Play that funky music!

[shigityshigityshwa]

NOT THIS TIME!!

YOU are INCREDIBLE!!

good mics too lol

[MrKozeljko]

@shigityshigityshwa You really search on youtube and sub to people just to hate on every video they upload?

Some serious issues.

[rgoodpa1]

Frigging amazing dude! Im totaly blown away!

Keep putting these videos on and I'll keep watching.

Is this something that you have been doing your whole life?

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@rgoodpa1 Thank you! And yes!

[cakelover24]

Nice u got talent!

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@cakelover24 Thank you!

[Legitllama1]

Hey i think you have some serious talent keep up with the good work

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@Legitllama1 Thank you very much!

[domeee11]

Hey there, what can i use to convert this mic from the XLR to USB so i can use my Macbook to record guitar and the vocal? Pls reply.. thanks! :)

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@domeee11 Hi! I would recommend just doing a Google search for "XLR to USB".

You should make sure that whatever interface you're using, has phantom power though, good luck!

[domeee11]

@JoeBarnardMusic yes man, i know there are plenty of item that can provide Phantom Power too.. but im new in recording stuff.. anyways, im thinking of editors keys sl150 lol

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@ferrariic :D

[Dave9494]

I love how that one cymbal is just hanging from the ceiling XD

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@Dave9494 Hahaha yeah! That's what you gotta do when you don't want to pay the ridiculous prices for a regular boom stand.

[MrKozeljko]

Sweet

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@MrKozeljko Thank you!

[TheUsed707]

hey man, can you tell me what interface you used in this video to connect the mics to your computer? btw, nice mic stand subkick :p

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@TheUsed707 SUBKICK! That's the word for it! Hahaha I couldn't figure out what I should call frequencies that low for the longest time...

As for interfaces, here's the rundown:

The 990 is running through an M-Audio Audio Buddy, Boss RC-2 loop pedal, then into a line input on a Behringer UB1202.

The 991 is plugged directly into the 1202 via XLR of course with 48v phantom power.

From there, I pan each mic to the left and right so I can run them via RCA cable from the tape out, to my M-Audio 1010lt

[telefoto123]

@JoeBarnardMusic

Hello...nice video...pleas help..I want to to buy MXL 990/991 and I only need this mic for acoustic guitar with Boss rc2 loop pedal. Why you running 990 through an M-Audio Audio Buddy? Why not direct to Behringer mixer like 991??

Sory on my bad English grammar - Thanks!

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@TheUsed707 Okay, right. The M-Audio 1010lt is a big fancy sound card that I bought a few months ago. After the card, the digital signal is going into Adobe Audition!

Hope this helps, and let me know if you want to know more! (I could write a 15 page paper on this setup...)

[birkuscircus]

You make me want to get a loop thingy...haha.

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@birkuscircus If you can get the money together for one, they're the best investment you'll ever make. I use mine (Boss RC-2) every day, and it's really great for practicing!

[GeeDeeProductions]

I saw your comment on MysteryGuitarMan's video, so i searched you up and i was impressed. Subscribed. I wish you the best.

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@GeeDeeProductions Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!

[DanieltheError]

Wow @.@ That was epic :D

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@DanieltheError Thank you!

[11breinke]

I just bought the 990! :D I'm gonna do similar things, guranteed haha

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@11breinke Cool! Send me a message if/when you put a video of it up!

[33Deer33]

I dig the fact that the 991 sounds so nice alone with the drums. I was kinda scared to mic my drums before :P

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@33Deer33 Yeah It really sounds awesome! The only eq on the 991 is a little boost in the 80Hz range for the bass drum to come through more clearly. And then of course I added a little reverb for sparkle as well ;D

The only thing I would warn about for micing drums with the 991, is that it's loud. Like very loud. A -10db pad switch on the mic would have been helpful. I had to put my preamp pretty low for it to not clip.

[33Deer33]

@JoeBarnardMusic Alrighty, thanks ;)

[homieGisnice]

Cool, very creative

[JoeBarnardMusic]

@homieGisnice Thanks!
