One Song, One Mic: UT FET47 w/ Mike Watts (COVET, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Dear Hunter)

The UT FET47 has been heralded for it’s incredible low-end response. But what if we told you that you can record an entire song, top-to-bottom with it? Well, we don’t have to tell you. We’ll let our friend Mike do the talking. Mike Watts has mixed countless records from Covet, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Dear Hunter, and so much more. Now, he’s taking on a new recording challenge: record an entire song using ONE MIC. In this video he will record drums, vocals, guitar, and bass using only a pair of UT FET47’s. Then he will mix the song to a finished product! Will he pull it off? Is it possible to record an entire song using two UT FET47’s? Will it sound good? Spoiler Alert: Yes. Yes to all of the above.
