“Well, this HypeMiC is fantastic, really versatile and it eliminates a lot of potential outboard needs, and for someone like me who usually depends on a good engineer to push buttons and turn dials, it couldn’t be easier to use. Just plug it in and get an incredible sound. Great product.”
Using just an Apogee HypeMiC, the legendary Larry Campbell records, acoustic guitar, fiddle, cittern, bass and harmonium in a version of Scottish traditional song Flowers of the Forest.
