He was talking about $4 mics, though... you don't get /anything/ professional at $4, down there at the bottom they're all made in China. [02:28] So just to know what we're talking about here.

[02:51] i mean... you can spend $100+ per hour at a studio [02:51] you scrape together $300 or so, and you can have some decent somewhat professional sounding results [02:51] otherwise... i say use what you got [02:52] you *wont* get better results with new microphones around 50 bucks [02:52] ill see wat i can deaux [02:52] maybe something used :) [02:52] heck yeah [02:52] i shop craiglist and ebay often [02:52] craigslist* [02:53] right right [02:53] fell in love with craigslist when i got a 20 dollar hdtv [02:54] cool... you just need to do that again :) [02:54] i got a $50 tube mic from ebay [02:54] those good?
