honestly man 990s are inconsistent. I should know, i had one. cut my entire first CD on one, and NOBODY knew. but without years of engineering experience my suggestion is cash that shit in and get a C01u. you're not gonna find a better mic in your price range, and you can get one now for around $50.

or, when you're ready to sound pro, click the link in my sig and listen to what its like to sound like you're ready to be taken seriously. im really humble but honestly, im a fucking BEAST with it son. i can make even that shitty 990 sound great.
