  • Do u NEED to buy an interface for this mic or can it be plugged straight to the computer?

  • @IamLegendNC the mic outputs with xlr. what im using is the mxl mic mate, it is just a simple xlr to usb converter.

  • what Xlr cable do i need?

  • @TheJosephNoah Any Male to female xlr cable will do. I am using a cheap 3ft xlr.

  • Ok I have a question. I got the same microphone and the mxl mic mate, plus a Male to female xlr cable, but there's no plug on any of these for a USB port? did I do something wrong or is there one more thing I have to buy?

  • Should compress/limit pre computer at least enough to prevent clipping just so you don't ruin a performance. It really cuts down on time wasting mess ups. To be clear a hardware unit before your interface is a must.

  • audacity? seriously?

  • @shontajabrown yes u need a XLR other wise you will not record. you will need a pre amp and interface

  • mxl 3000 is much more worth the investment, get a m box degi design and record with pro tools..you will deliver a nice warm professional recording. and have much more control over your vocals

  • Wow. There are a lot of babies to audio recording equipment. Learn about audio recording before you start actually recording,then you won't have to come to a place like youtube to ask dumb questions

  • How did you get an XLR type of the MXL 990 because I got the USB on the MXL 990....

  • please turn the gain down!

  • Do u really need the xlr cable to work the mic mate,can you just plug the mic mate in and start recording.if you can does it make the mic sound different

  • @MillenniumX17 you can also get the USB version of the mic..Mxl 990 USB [pretty simple name lol]
