The MXL 990/991 Package

Here's what you can do with the MXL 990/991 package, the Boss RC-2 loop station, and a little practice!

[@marlo916]

I like the cymbal hanging from the ceiling. Lol

[@im2nd4eva]

I like the way you spread yourself out in there. One man band does it again. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheKingFriday]

The squeak of the mic stand was in the same key. You think of EVERYTHING! THANK YOU! sounds awesome!

[@nabilcapillaire3362]

I'm an ex owner of an MXL 990. I remembered having lots of fun making music with it! I admire your talent! Really amazing!

[@whistlepig4347]

Very cool! Came for the mic review, stayed for the neat music.

[@denisbarinovx]

I wasn't expecting that haha, awesome dude! ~ FoLm

[@JamesHolben]

Impressive is one of terms that comes to my mind.....

[@jonphutson]

The drum quality is outstanding!

[@xawtee]

i have those mics for a year now and haven't used the 991. i didn't know it was that good :)

[@naglepuff]

I'm diggin that suspended cymbal

[@HelamanGile]

Great job

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

Hi Chris! You're correct! I switched to the Sennheiser HD280s a while back. They're great reference headphones for the price. It makes a big difference to have a good pair of flat sounding headphones to use for reference. If you're not in the market for new gear, I'd recommend doing your best with the Bose, and then also listening with other headphones, car speakers, your computer speakers etc. If you can make it sound good on all of those, it should sound pretty good everywhere else! Good luck!

[@Jaybo196]

One of the greatest things I have ever seen!

[@JohnDoe-ms2sk]

A+!! That was excellent.

[@Dave9494]

I love how that one cymbal is just hanging from the ceiling XD

[@AAchurch]

That boss rc pedals are great. Very good.

Very good, man! Great job

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

ST51 Actually! And I love that thing... I got it back around the middle of 2007 and I still use it for all kinds of things. It's obviously no Neumann or AKG, but it's really great for the price.

[@AdamoMoreno]

Awesome!!

[@fenixdedios9421]

awesome! congratulations

[@skaterjdub]

I saw that shirt from a mile away! That's an awesome shirt u got there

[@risings38]

Now thats Awesomeness like a boss

[@schaeffernico]

superb, thanks. I still cant decide what to get though.

[@moronslave]

Haha.. that was entertaining.. now I'm about to change my mind in getting MXL package instead of one Shure Beta 58

[@AskJohnDaniel]

Nice review!!!

[@Somedudesocool]

Cool, very creative

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@GeeDeeProductions Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!

[@rgoodpa1]

Frigging amazing dude! Im totaly blown away! Keep putting these videos on and I'll keep watching. Is this something that you have been doing your whole life?

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@33Deer33 Yeah It really sounds awesome! The only eq on the 991 is a little boost in the 80Hz range for the bass drum to come through more clearly. And then of course I added a little reverb for sparkle as well ;D The only thing I would warn about for micing drums with the 991, is that it's loud. Like very loud. A -10db pad switch on the mic would have been helpful. I had to put my preamp pretty low for it to not clip.

[@micol091992]

increbible! thank you so much for posting this vid

[@SenpaiTheFly]

dude you rock man

[@mirokanstyler]

When I heard the drums, I just went "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?" Didn't know one mic could get so much of the elements of a drum.

[@yorickman]

Awesomeness!!!! Nice.

[@lukedurant4200]

GREAT VIDEO🤗😀😀👍👍👍👍

[@QqsMinutesaPerdre]

Pretty nice man!

[@CohenSolwayMusic]

did you really only use the 991 for the drums? it's a great sound. nice loop.

[@ontheBorderbytheSea]

wow! sounds great!

[@RobertSlover]

awesome man well done

[@ivyrum]

awesome man! keep it!

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@JORDOCARR Yeah you do need something to convert the XLR type cable from the microphone to the TRL type input that the RC-2 has. :( I'd recommend something like an M-Audio Audio buddy, or a small mixing consol!

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@TheUsed707 SUBKICK! That's the word for it! Hahaha I couldn't figure out what I should call frequencies that low for the longest time... As for interfaces, here's the rundown: The 990 is running through an M-Audio Audio Buddy, Boss RC-2 loop pedal, then into a line input on a Behringer UB1202. The 991 is plugged directly into the 1202 via XLR of course with 48v phantom power. From there, I pan each mic to the left and right so I can run them via RCA cable from the tape out, to my M-Audio 1010lt

[@Dobrovinskiy]

Talented!

[@trentlikeaboss13]

This is crazy

[@awsumed1993]

he probably has a mixer that powers it. you can buy power supplies for phantom power though.

[@NateNippi]

this should have more views

[@EstebanRodriguez-lr6oo]

Very Good!

[@soymustacho]

._. tu demuestras tu talento o vendes micrófonos JAJAAJ eres genial!!! x3 ya tienes un fan hermano

[@TimWhiteNC]

Probably an effect on whatever mixer he uses.

[@ruthlessadmin]

Very very cool

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@domeee11 Hi! I would recommend just doing a Google search for "XLR to USB". You should make sure that whatever interface you're using, has phantom power though, good luck!

[@BlazedUniverse]

Woah, i have a mxl 009. That was amazing

[@DjNoOdLeS2]

Your amazing man great vid!! :)

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@TheUsed707 Okay, right. The M-Audio 1010lt is a big fancy sound card that I bought a few months ago. After the card, the digital signal is going into Adobe Audition! Hope this helps, and let me know if you want to know more! (I could write a 15 page paper on this setup...)

[@Dev-nc7fv]

SOLD! on sale right now for 60 bucks

[@monkeyxx]

great stuff.

[@MonkeyM98]

I LOVED IT!!!!!!! That was awesome!!!! where do I buy the loop pedal?????

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

Yep! I did however boost a little bit on the bottom end.

[@Bschooneproductions]

Sweet!

[@thewellfoodie]

How on earth did you do that? Awesome!!

[@thewestcoastishere]

i love it

[@ChrisPFuchs]

I noticed you are using the Bose around ear headphones in this video, but you use, I believe, the Sennheiser HD280 headphones in your newer projects. Did switching headphones make that much of a difference? I'm asking because I have a pair of those Bose, and not having any studio monitors or other headphones, I'm forced to mix with the Bose. I found that the Bose have a ton of extra bass, so after I eq and listen on other earplugs or speakers, it always sounds really thin.

[@PanoramaUnion]

this is great!

[@femrapperuk2012]

that was awesome O.O

[@domeee11]

@JoeBarnardMusic yes man, i know there are plenty of item that can provide Phantom Power too.. but im new in recording stuff.. anyways, im thinking of editors keys sl150 lol

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@homieGisnice Thanks!

[@margatestado4514]

So kewl 😍

[@TheUsed707]

hey man, can you tell me what interface you used in this video to connect the mics to your computer? btw, nice mic stand subkick :p

[@RajjuBhaiKaithalWala]

Please tell me whether this road NT 1 is much better than And audio technica AT2020 ( 1 ) Road NT-1 ( 2 ) audio technica AT2020 ( 3 ) MXL 990/ 991 Which of the three is good🤔 😒 Please sir

[@ShadyMaw]

I stumbled upon your channel as I was searching for a new microphone to purchase. I ordered the MXL 990 Condenser Microphone. The instrumental you made in this video with the harmonizing and the drums is absolutely mind blowing. I'm a rapper(this is the part where everyone stops reading because they think that all rappers talk about the same thing).I write poetry and I incorporate that into my music.The videos I have on my channel aren't that good quality, but give me a chance and check it out.

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@MrKozeljko Thank you!

[@GikiOfficial]

W O R K F L O W

[@MrKozeljko]

Sweet

[@timbov123]

How does the Sterling Audio sound, the one in the bottom right corner of the video looks like a ST57?

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@rgoodpa1 Thank you! And yes!

[@rydamusicrecords]

Nice

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@Dave9494 Hahaha yeah! That's what you gotta do when you don't want to pay the ridiculous prices for a regular boom stand.

[@3dreamersrecords571]

where is your phantom power for the mic coming from? is it before of after the looper running from the mic?

[@kartik93guitarlover]

Is your Room acoustically treated..?? coz it sounds insanely clear without any hiss in the background ?? :)

[@morrisman64]

nice

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@cakelover24 Thank you!

[@JORDOCARR]

i have a Boss RC-2 pedal, and am thinking about buying the 990/991 mic package, but do i need another mix deck for the 990 or can i just plug the 990 straight into the Boss RC-2 , and then plug the Boss straight into my amp??

[@DelReiRock]

Hi! I bought this mic... And mine 991 is really noisy. There is a very loud wind noise when I increase my preamp gain.. I have also a AKG P170 and it is MUCH more silent! Does anyone have this problem too?

[@conockrad]

How you provide 48V to the mic? Could you please explain your signal chain?

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@Legitllama1 Thank you very much!

[@MammoJama1]

how did you do the reverb on the vocals was it added after the recording

[@suedelacy6298]

Yessssss

[@CARLOSPerez-wg7jb]

Amazing! i love this songs. the voices is wao, beutifull. is yours? recording, creating one song!!

[@domeee11]

Hey there, what can i use to convert this mic from the XLR to USB so i can use my Macbook to record guitar and the vocal? Pls reply.. thanks! :)

[@octaviodiaz1997]

[@3dreamersrecords571]

do you have phantom power before or after the looper? because i'm trying to get the looper before the phantom and it just does not work....

[@HiramWeirdGuitar]

Im going to buy them, could you give me extra info? did you use the 991 just for the drums? could you tell me everything about it?

[@JoeBarnardMusic]

@11breinke Cool! Send me a message if/when you put a video of it up!

[@JAMES69605]

CRIATIVO !!!

[@folk60i]
