Best mic for political death metal polka ballads for under $100?

[zed32]

i need some help for an upcoming project. it's a politically-themed death metal polka ballad. what's the best mic i can use for this for under $100?

 

[travelin travis]

ime (yes), you can't go wrong with the cad m179.

 

[zed32]

dude that's like way over $100. i can't afford that! i need it to be under $100 and have a professional sound.

 

[travelin travis]

cad m177. same sound, single pattern.











































































professional my ass.

 

[zed32]

i'm thinking a bit further under $100 than just 1 cent...

 

[travelin travis]

es57 $40. doesn't get any cheaper.

i wouldn't suggest that mic for a professional political death metal polka ballad sound on a budget. it probably distorts.

probably should go with a naiant mic and not support the political machine by buying from one of those big companies.

Give me a break... (if this is a joke, please disregard, but it doesn't seem like you are)

You're not buying a Naiant to snub the big guys... If you own a naiant you probably own a mic from the big guys... They're nice, inexpensive mics. But, like anything else, they aren't perfect on everything. Poop on you and fart in your general direction.

I would use an AT-4040....stolen of course. That way it's free...

Dogman does, and since its stolen merchandise, I hear if you double steal something, you get money back, so its better than free.

And I know

, the polka master would approve.

 

[zed32]

i hear Dogman might be out of the house sometime next month, but i don't have that kind of time!

 

[iceyflame]

no, not the AT4040, thats only good for light-personal-themed-lyrical-death metal polka ballads

Well then look up Recording Studios in the phone book, go to the nearest one (make sure you have your running tennies on), walk through the door look around quickly, go to the room with a window to another room, grab what ever mic is on the nearest mic stand, and run like you have to go poo bigtime and don't look back till you get to you nearest 7/11, while there get a slurpy cause you will be tired of all the running, next run out the back door of the 7/11 and keep running till you get back home. Your death metal polka ballads will never sound better, and hay you might get lucky and noticed you grabbed a German mic while you were there at the studio. If nothing else you will feel refreshed had having a slurpy.

Why dont you just use the mic that you were going to mic the acordian with? If this is truely a band you would have other mics already, and any of those "realistic brand" mics you already have would work just fine.
