@zek021 Try them both :-) In this video we are using a condenser mic and it worked well.

Hey I don't know if you already answer this question to other youtuber yet or not, if you already did please answer it again in a simple and easy way to understand. My question is I got 2 mic setup already and video myself playing a song. So the video and the mic are in a difference setup, so how can i get that sound with mic that I already play go into the video I just recorded?

[recordingrevolution]

@majestytd You simply import your recorded audio into your video editor and replace out the audio of the video.
