@superskwrl true! this is not live... or an overdub of a mistake

@gitarrstrimlaren What you are hearing is one complete take. The video was shot from two different takes and edited together.

does the apoggee one plug straight into the computer? no need for a mixer or anything?

[apogeedigital]

@JustinEvans248 Yes, the Apogee ONE plugs into the Mac via USB.. You don't need any other hardware. Simply open GarageBand or any other Mac recording software and begin recording using ONE's internal microphone. ONE also has an XLR connection so that you can use any microphone you choose, and a 1/4" connection so that you can connect any instrument with a pick up directly to your Mac.
