[02:23] <FloatingGoat> im gonna get a coupl replacable mics
[02:23] <FloatingGoat> holstein
[02:24] <FloatingGoat> as in like 4 dollar cheap skate ones
[02:24] <FloatingGoat> better than what i got probs
[02:24] <FloatingGoat> record my stuff with two mics
[02:24] <orngjce223> Do they plug into your sound ports or USB? 'cause if one soundport mic would work, any one of them should work exactly as well. USB is iffier.
[02:25] <FloatingGoat> well
[02:25] <holstein> FloatingGoat: im going to lay out for you some 'cheap' gear
[02:25] <FloatingGoat> its a 6.3mm the cheapscade mic im looking at
[02:25] <holstein> you should bookmark it
[02:25] <FloatingGoat> ill see
[02:25] <FloatingGoat> this isnt my comp
[02:25] <FloatingGoat> well its my ubuntu
[02:25] <FloatingGoat> but i figure ill use a splitter that should work okay
[02:25] <holstein> http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx
[02:26] <holstein> http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/802.aspx
[02:27] <FloatingGoat> bro this is sooo slow
[02:27] <FloatingGoat> behringer fan?
[02:27] <holstein> http://www.cascademicrophones.com/cascade_V57_Gold.html
[02:27] <FloatingGoat> i heard of them before
[02:27] <holstein> FloatingGoat: if you are on a budget, you can do a lot worse than behringer
[02:27] <FloatingGoat> you arent slow
[02:27] <holstein> if you want to get the wallet out... let me know
[02:28] <FloatingGoat> oh my thats awesome
[02:28] <holstein> otherwise, these are easy ways to get some professional results
[02:28] <holstein> for cheap
[02:28] <orngjce223> That is pretty cool. 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] <orngjce223> So just to know what we're talking about here.
[02:30] <holstein> there are cheaper mics
[02:30] <holstein> http://www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,1058,pid,1058,nodeid,2,_language,EN.html
[02:30] <holstein> anything in the perception series is a lot of bang for the buck
[02:33] <holstein> this is a nice mic for the $$

[02:46] <holstein> that at2020 is about the cheapest i would get
[02:46] <FloatingGoat> how much is the rode?
[02:46] <holstein> $200 or so i think
[02:46]  * holstein clicks on link...
[02:47] <FloatingGoat> ohhh
[02:47] <FloatingGoat> my
[02:47] <holstein> yeah, $229 in that bundle
[02:47] <FloatingGoat> 200
[02:47] <FloatingGoat> thats more than im worth
[02:47] <holstein> you can get it cheaper
[02:47] <holstein> FloatingGoat: if you want 'better' than what you had, you'll need to spend some cash
[02:48] <FloatingGoat> ill check my local second hand music store
[02:48] <holstein> yup
[02:49] <FloatingGoat> they might have some good gear and mics
[02:49] <FloatingGoat> they always have great guitars
[02:49] <holstein> maybe
[02:49] <holstein> wont hurt to look/listen
[02:49] <FloatingGoat> yeah
[02:49] <FloatingGoat> uhm
[02:50] <FloatingGoat> oh
[02:50] <FloatingGoat> i forgot :
[02:50] <FloatingGoat> \
[02:50] <FloatingGoat> yeah cause i dont want to pay for a studio.
[02:50] <FloatingGoat> im not on that level yet
[02:50] <holstein> yeah?
[02:50] <holstein> why record at all then?
[02:51] <holstein> i mean... you can spend $100+ per hour at a studio
[02:51] <holstein> you scrape together $300 or so, and you can have some decent somewhat professional sounding results
[02:51] <holstein> otherwise... i say use what you got
[02:52] <holstein> you *wont* get better results with new microphones around 50 bucks
[02:52] <FloatingGoat> ill see wat i can deaux
[02:52] <holstein> maybe something used :)
[02:52] <FloatingGoat> heck yeah

[02:54] <holstein> i got a $50 tube mic from ebay

[02:54] <holstein> its decent
[02:55] <holstein> theres a $1000 mohave mic with the same tube
[02:55] <holstein> ive heard this mic, and i like it
[02:55] <FloatingGoat> nice
