MXL 990 microphone FAQ

This video is not for everyone. It's for the people who have many questions about the microphone I use and what they need to run it. Rather than answer dozens of messages, I decided to post this video.

And what about if I get the USB version, I can still edit my voice and etc with GarageBand right?

[CraigTube]

@Jannn808 Yes.

[Jannn808]

So if I get the XLR version, and then a phantom power, am I able to plug it in to my laptop and record? Can I still edit my stuff with for example GarageBand? sorry im a virgin at this :(

[CraigTube]

@Jannn808 XLR to USB. You may as well get the USB mic.

Thank you! I was wondering what was wrong, because I had all the cables plugged in and everything and no sound was being recorded. Now I know that I need a phantom power supply thing or whatever, which one would you reccomend? Best quality for lowest price?

[CraigTube]

@OfficialDzanDervic Google it because it changes frequently. Google phantom power home studio PC.

@Monzuni get a USB audio interface with phantom power it works great

Are you aware that there are a TON of virtual mixers out there that can do all actually hardware can do and more all on your computer?

[Monzuni]

Hi Craig. I purchased the XLR version, and I didn't realize that I needed additional stuff. Is there a way I can buy something for it that can plug into my computer?

[Xrahyz]

If you'd like to listen a whole album recorded with this great little mic, look after alinedelimadotcom/musica >> and listen to the album "Maritima" (all percussions, vocals, accordeon were recorded with this mic and it sounds very professional.
