The Behringer XM8500 Review - Awesome noob gear

This mic is really aimed for recording enthusiasts, but it really works great in almost any studio application you may want, the purpose behind the reviews for "noobs" here, is to start with the cheapest RIGHT products that will do the job, and will last a long time..........what a better way to do this than reviewing the Behringer XM8500.

There's almost nothing bad to say about this product, it's under 50 dollars too....but I could easily pay twice the price for a product of this quality.

The first thing that you'll notice about this is the amazing build quality, it feels heavy and it ensures durability and quality, this is the first right step for beginners (and not so beginners) that wants a mic that really stands out for vocals and instruments.

It has an incredibly wide frequency response from 50 hz to 15 khz that make things sound clearer and cleaner, it's a cardioloid dynamic mic. I should recommend this mic as the first choice for a person that has never bought a mic before and wants to give it a shot.

Another plus that the product has, it's a hard case for the mic that most "pro" mics are missing, it's a really valuable item to keep that mic safe for a long looooong f*cking time, it also includes its own mic stand adapter (such as most mics).

Like I said before, there are almost nothing bad to say about this product, except for the noise created when you hold the mic, that's a big pain in the ass that asks you to buy at least a cheap mic holder, that's the only bad thing I found on this product.

I used it on acoustic guitar recordings and it sounds really really great, I also used it on the "September 20th" song where I blended the acoustic nylon guitar with a clean chorus guitar.......and I really liked how it turned out, alongside with the Behringer XENYX 302USB it really kicked ass for an amateur recording.

You can find this amazing dynamic mic on amazon right here for just ....... 21,99 Dollars!! you can also click on the amazon publicity below to see more details

The amazing Behringer XENYX 302USB review - Awesome noob gear Pt. 1

Image
Well, there isn't quite an extensive review about this really cheap and affordable piece of gear from Behringer (kinda becoming my favorite brand). There are a lot of stuff to say that no one has said about this little mixer on the web, that I'll be making this multi-part review for all of you. This is a mini Mixer/USB Interface that can really kick major ass if you know how to use this. it has a combo input for both 1/4 instrument jack and XLR that provides up to 16v of phantom power (I'll address this in a few moments) Recording electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitar and vocals in a professional way for less than 60 dollars (at the time of writing this post). But.....don't get fooled by my awesome words about this product, it has its limitations, like for instance, if you see the review on the video above (or even Behringer's website) it claims to be a 5 input mixer..........you can mix up to five channels, hell yeah, but in a really complex and unpract...

Dr. Phibes Rises Again - The Misfits Covers Demo

Image
First of all, let me apologize about the long, LOOOOOOOONG absence here, I've had some health issues, as a lot of work as well, but I'm back!! Now, I'll be posting new stuff Monday mornings Let me introduce to all of you an "album" (if we can call it that way) made entirely by myself, containing all of the experimental covers that I made around the late 2010's and  during 2011. I first made some tracks exclusively for www.guitarbackingtrack.com because everyone lacked of Misfits backing tracks, and I really love to play their songs, so I thought........what the Fuck?!!! let's have some fun, reccord those tracks and then do whatever I like to them. Once the tracks (as backing tracks) were finished, I did whatever arranges were needed and then, I kept them for my personal use (some tracks were uploaded to youtube to experiment a little bit). Then I reunite the best tracks (or in some cases, just the ones that had an special meaning for me) to make ...

Introducing: Dark Victory Records!!

Image
I'm kind of a control freak you know? If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!! and when it's about my music, my babies....then i'm tooking no fucking exception!! In the spirit of it, I've created Dark Victory Records , which will take care of my releases as well as the releases of a couple more artists ( Satanic Butcher , Death of Innocents ) and will be the home of many other bands releases as well (hopefully). I'll be in control of producing those albums and of the artists as well, and this means one thing only.....FREEDOM!! we all want that isn't it? I think we all agree that we deserve better music, we need to push the artists and audience further, there are a lot of amazing artists here on Mexico, and be pretty damn sure as hell that if they ever step foot on Dark Victory Records, we'll make their fierce sound be heard. So, stay tuned, we'll announce the first release on Dark Victory Records and hell, you'll better w...
