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.
