Bro you have such a calming voice and was such a great video! Ordered this mic just waiting to get home in a couple weeks to use it. By far my favorite video about it.

This review and breakdown was a life saver for me. Not only was I having the chipmunk issue with this microphone the audio quality was awful and I sounded very loud and echoey. Changing it to the gain and the setup you have made it sound do much better and made me way happier with my purchase.
