No. Stop the insanity. The secret to getting into like mainstream pop or music is simple and way cheap. You never like hear about it because the microphone manufacturers are aliens and control like everything, even the like government and stuff. HAVEN'T YOU SEEN ALL THE MICROPHONES LIKE EVERYWHERE WHENEVER THE PRESIDENT TALKS? Microphones have like mind meld control of the president and the whole like government. Why do you think expensive microphones are bigger than cheapo computer mic's? They have to have room for the invisible ray mind control device that shoots out the invisible rays into your brain that make you think that the microphones are like worth a lot of money and like sound better and stuff. The aliens don't care about cheap computer mic's because they think only like losers and stuff use them.

I learned the truth and dumped all my expensive gear... I mean I had spent like over $200 ON JUST AUDIO GEAR!!!! Now I know the truth. When I'm not in my specially protected room I protect myself from microphone brain wave control with my aluminun foil helmet. Now that I can finally hear the true non-alien brain control sound of like mainstream pop or music I've discovered the secret to the best sounding microphone ever made. Use hundreds of earbuds held together with rubber bands and splice their cables together going to one plug. One earbud doesn't sound very good used as a microphone. But two hundred all together make it 200 times as good and way better than a U87 brain wave controlling mic. You want a cardioid mic? Twist all the earbuds so they point one way. Want an omni mic? Twist the earbuds so they point all around.

Discover the truth. Don't let the microphone alien brain waves control your, like, brain.

I spent over three dollars this year. Don't let that discourage you. I'm just like you - i put my pants on one leg at a time. The thing is - when my pants are on, I make GOLD records, baby.

This thread is fricking hilarious. But somebody should tell him so he knows. Fella, at least a couple people here have well over $100 000 invested in their studios. $1000 is a very modest budget to get anywhere near a half-way decent quality home recording, much less a commercial recording.

So everyone knows: I do not, in fact, make GOLD records when my pants are on.

I make GOLD when they're OFF.

(insert 70s porn soundtrack here)

This was what experts call a "joke". In fact, I'll be telling a few of 'em in the course of this thread.

[seismetr0n]

Still takin in the alien info? yeah me too, but youll get over it.
Were all just dying to hear your next response here.....ya cant keep us in suspense forever can ya?

I spend 200 a year on gtr picks alone, AND iM A BASS PLAYER.
(dont take that out of context, I never play bass w a pick)

besides, nowadays I believe all you need to get into mainstream/pop is a sampler and a box of cd's isnt it?
Now Ill bet ya can get a sampler and a shitload of old cd's or albums even for around a grand and PRESTO your the next Jay-z

oh...It will also help if you release a peepee video of yourself, or date jennifer lopez.

[Pinachi]

[punkin]

I spent like that much last month on ya'know like...electricity just to make all the nifty light's an' meter thingys going back and forth.

I'd say to get anything decent, if you're smart, you're going to need to spend at least $3000...

I don't understand this question at all...is this in some kind of code? I'm not sure what spending $200 or $1000 (huh?!) has anything to do with music or mainstream pop. ummm... What?
