hey everyone. i am in the market for a new kick mic and i would like a little help in making a decision. first of all i have read alot of Harvey's threads and i have to say WOW i have learned a ton of valuable information. thanks a ton! ok, on with the topic... i have roughly 200$ to spend on a mic. ive looked at the d112, beta52a, and ev n d868. and probly a couple others too i dont recall. the music i record is heavy rock/metal so i like a good nick menza cryptic writings kick tone. i also record other bands in my studio as well. so with all that said... which would be a good mic to choose? i understand half the battle is with placement... then the other half is with preference... but i dont have the luxury of knowing what these mics sound like. thanks for reading, and i look forward to a response...
