This is definitely not just an excuse to test out a lavalier microphone and demonstrate that affordable gear can be more than sufficient for making content. The mic cost $13, and I only did EQ and Compression in GarageBand (which is free.

This is a song I wrong about the M.I.B. and what it would be like to be one of the Men in Black. I promise you, I'm not one of them. I swear. Honestly. But I wanted to try to record a full song using budget recording equipment so I used an XM8500, Amazon Basics cable, and a Behringer UM2.

The Austrian Audio OC16 is a worthy competitor as an all rounder studio workhorse mic. It uses the same capsule as the OC18 which is 2x the price and uses different electronics and is made in China instead of Austria.
