Very cool. Thanks.

Had a listen on the little player on the page, sounds really great man, keep on! There's just this beauty with the 388 that I can't quite describe. Keeps the music musical and human I suppose. Everything cuts through in the right places, and it's really sympathetic throughout. I've just done my fir...

Is there any sort of problem with having the mix in the mic while recording?

Everything and anything is worth at least a try! Has anyone tried it?

Is it possible or ever advantageous to record the vocals while playing back the mix on monitors and so recording both the vocals and the mix, so as to help get the vocals to sit in the mix better?
