Hi Louie, So far I have only been using my Audio-technica 831b that I also use for tenor sax. With a piece of gaffa tape I can move the little mic around ;-) When beatboxing through my analog filter bank before looping it sometimes sound like http://www.looproom.com/audio/trutorgel.mp3 The filter bank has a setting for High Pass which I love for mimicing a hihat sound. I also like to lay down a hihat pattern into the EDP in HalfSpeed and then go back do FullSpeed to bring it up an octave, make it even crispier and tighten up my sloopy beatboxing ;-) At http://www.humanbeatbox.com/ there are sound clips from diffent mic's and they all give a different sound. Those guys are also beatboxing through a compressor which makes the sound fatter. -- Best wishes Per On 03-12-12 16.36, "L.
