Plus I also show you the biggest mistake that people make when connecting an xlr mic to an audio interface. If you’re hearing hiss or think your mic sounds bad be sure to watch this video and make sure you’re not making this mistake. Both condenser and xlr microphones can provide low noise and great clean audio quality when connected correctly to an audio interface.
