I had to watch one part 3 times to figure out you were walking down stairs. Glad you didn't have a 4x12 up there :-) Those stairs would be hazardous. My Wife complains about volume all the time, but my hearing isn't what it used to be so I cannot tell it's as loud as it really is. Nice mix at the end.

@hawg427 ahaha we brought a 2 x 12 up there but me peronsally never brought up a 412. I think it's impossible.

Could some please tell me how to get your mics connected to your computer and record each individually like in this video?

[imcarrying]

@TheXWnR You need an audio interface there are some very cheap around for one mike only

[BMTHization]

So, i don't understand, you're using all three mics to track and put the sound all together?

[imcarrying]

@BMTHization YEs but actually you can just use the 414 fr example
