If you need a mic for hip hop/rap, open this thread(hopefully this works!)

Well, for starters, there was this time I was looking to do some serious polka. And I was in dire need of a mic stand. So I figured ... there has to be some mic stand out there -- and not just any mic stand -- that would be ideally suited for the intricacies of the polka genre of music.

So I started this thread here: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=150941&highlight=polka

And you can kinda' see where that one went.

Anyway, the next pressing problem was the processor for my DAW. You see, I just didn't feel that my processor was polka enough, ya know what I'm sayin'? So in my attempt to find the one computer processor I could upgrade to that would be most ideally suited to the digital signal processing demands of complex Polka DAW sessions, I proceeded to start this thread here: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=150940&highlight=polka

And I'm still waiting for some serious answers. And perhaps some of my new hip-hop friends like Tone will be able to clue me in on what kind of mic stands and processors they like to use for rap. Then I'll know what not to get. Ha ha. Just kidding, guys. I just don't want my delicate polka work to sound too "rap." That wouldn't sound right, so you see why I have to make sure I don't use the same mic stands as the rap guys.

I suppose I could be like the rap guys and start my own thread in the Polka forum ... but wouldn't you know it ? NO POLKA FORUM. I personally feel this is an outrage, and it's about high time I give a call to my dawgs at the ACLU and demand equal treatment and advancement opportunity for Polka lovers everywhere.

Did you check the punk rock and speed metal sections? (oh, wait! None of those either!) Those are more kin to polka as they share the same beat, just at different (usually faster) tempos. They might get you closer to true polka-ishlyness.

Or are you more of a purist when it comes to polka?

Why is everybody talking down to Tone? He's trying to help.

As hip hop artists ourselves, it's irritating to see the IQ-deficient self-proclaimed "rap artists" looking for the "rap mic."

We thought we'd spare you guys the frustration and talk to them, THAT'S ALL!

This is not an attempt to divert anyone from the Microphone forum or to bring anyone into the DJ forum - we're trying to help y'all out.
