Mike Yi Music

Hey everyone, my name is Mike and I like to sing songs. I've been playing guitar for about 7 years and singing for about 6. I should be better than I am but alas, I am not.

FAQ:

Q: How do you record your videos?
A: I use my built in iSight to capture video. As for audio, I've been using a DTAR Solstice Acoustic Preamp (it has 2 microphone inputs) to plug in my humble Studio Projects C1 mic into as well as plug in my guitar. There is a 1/4" output that I connect with a 1/4" male to 1/8" male cable to my MacBook Pro's line-in jack. I edit my audio in Garageband. I recently acquired a Presonus Firestudio Mobile that I will be using from now on.

Q: What kind of guitar do you use?
A: I used to use a Gibson SJ-200 but I sold that one to buy a Collings D2H. The Collings is amazing and I don't deserve it. I also play a Gibson J-45 that is sort of a family guitar. My two brothers also play the guitar. I learned from them.

Q: I am a Nigerian prince with an inheritance of $10,000,000 USD. Can you please give me your contact information and bank account number?
A: No.

Q: Do you write your own music?
A: Yes, I do. I just don't have the guts to put them up on youtube. Yet.

Q: Why don't you try out for American Idol?
A: I can't handle Simon Cowell.

Q: What kind of drum gear do you use?
A: I use the venerated Pearl Export drum kit and it has served me well over the years. I have Zildjian Avedis New Beat hihats, A Custom 16" and 18" crashes, Avedis 17" Medium Thin Crash, K Heavy ride, and an Istanbul 20" Agop Sultan ride. My snare is some vintage Pearl snare I came across years back. It is sparkly and orange.

Q: Are you Korean?
A: Yes.
