Hi Barry,

Hey, your clip is nice and clean! great playing, too!

The model I am using is Behringer Xenyx X1204 USB.
I chose this because of the USB connectivity and availability on Amazon!
The mics are Behringer C4 that came in a pair (but not really matched for sensitivity, I'd say).

Thanks Pip! I tried moving the mics in a lot closer, playing a little louder and upping the mic input a bit, (but now I hear a little rustle at the "top" sort of. I'll have to play with that).

Ah, I foresee a new toy under the Christmas tree for me from the wife. How nice of her, lol. My mics aren't matched that great either, but yours sound excellent.
