What's your mic and signal chain, if you don't mind me asking?

 

It's nothing fancy. The mic is an Apex 460 tube-condenser microphone. I run it through my Yamaha PSR-3000 keyboard as a pre amp, and I record using Reaper and an Maudio Delta 66 interface. All I do to the horn is add reverb. The keyboard has an on board compressor which is usually on, too. I know the keyboard isn't the best for a pre amp, but the mic is always hooked up to it as I use it for practicing and recording vocals, too.I'm just too lazy to unhook it and run it through my mixer. :o

Those Apex 460s are GREAT mics! I have an Avantone CV-12, which is essentially the same mic with fancier shell.

For the money I have invested in it, I am very happy with my 460. I bought it as part of a mic kit a few years back, on the advice of a sound-man friend.
