[21:02] <FloatingGoat> you still think the 990 was a bad buy?
[21:02] <FloatingGoat> holstein:
[21:02] <holstein> FloatingGoat: me?.. no.. i think there are better value purchases
[21:03] <holstein> for not a whole lot more, you can get something an actual studio would be using
[21:03] <holstein> does that matter? not really..
[21:03] <holstein> if you like it, go for it
[21:04] <holstein> i just try to share experience when possible.. and i have a few crap mic purchases (one mxl) that i wish i had just saved a little more bread and got something "pro" level
[21:04] <holstein> is "pro" level a matter of opinion?.. to some degree... sure
[21:04] <FloatingGoat> yeah im going to go for a sure KSM27 in the future i think
[21:04] <FloatingGoat> sell the MXL
[21:04] <holstein> but, you will *never* see any mxl mic's in a studio you are paying $100+ an hour
[21:05] <FloatingGoat> but for now this will do
[21:05] <holstein> you might see a ksm27
