very good :) i love the reverb that the mic gives!

[juliewillchompyou]

@TearsAndBlood2 that's actually the reverb on the mixer :)

Sounds awesome! I have one question though. I'm thinking of getting that AKG mic. How well does it do recording vocals (noise, sensitivity, overall sound)? I need a mic for growling (from quite deep growls to high shreeks), so I'm thinking of getting this one. The guitar sounds REALLY great here.

Or am I better off getting just getting a Shure SM58 or a simmiliar higher-end dynamic mic?

[juliewillchompyou]

@GallopingPints i have no complaints about my p220. its a great mic. but you cant go wrong with the 58, durable, and pretty much the standard for pro recordings. but as far as vocals go, i would look for a good condenser. i chose the AKG because it works for my voice. try out different mics if you can, it helps a lot.
