OK heres a good suggestion for you buddy

Forget about purchasing Mics

Rent them

Go to a music store (not a mom pop shop)

Rent some really nice mics for the job and then return them

You can tell them of your application needs and they will give
you suggestions and rent you better mics then your budget would fill

Take the rest of the 600.00 and save it for the coming recession

There are very good reasons to actualize your capital in the face of spiraling inflation, but I suppose gold would be a better investment than a couple of modded Oktavas on the whole ;)

Thanks for your help m'lad. It was a possibility I was thinking about. I've recently discovered a friend of a friend of a friend who runs a recording studio. I'll see if anything's available helpwise and/or rentwise.

  Bribe your friends friends friend with food, booze or any other recreational drug and bend his ear!
  Get all the information you can, including stuff on gain structure etc. Do explain exactly what you intend to record and do with it; if he is not busy he might be interested enough to tag along!
  Never met an engineer who wasn't happy to help out with odd projects(as long as it doesn't cost them anything)�
  You could also surf over to a site like gearslutz.com and dig there for info, its full of all kind of sound engineers; from hobbyists starting out (like yourself) to some of the top engineers alive today!
  - Thanks for the Gearslutz.com tip. Very helpful! (nt) - Deaf Ear 07:46:23 12/21/07 (0)
