To Phyrro:
I actually own a bet52 over a d112... I never said the d112 was "better" in any way, but d112's are easier to get different styles of kick out of. With my 52, it's 3 possible options:
slightly punchy
punchy
VERY punchy

To Guitarer:
Room sound:
Room sound is VERY important, and you DO want room sound in your recordings. The problem lies in what your room actually sounds like. It's better to have no room sound then bad room sound, dig? I wouldn't even worry about the fiberglass crap. Just mic them closer and gate them afterwards...'nuff said. Open field has too much wind noise, various anomalies etc. If it was dead quiet and had NO wind whatsoever, it wouldn't be bad at all.......lol
About the MXL line:
To be honest, If I had to pick a lower-end brand to spend my money on, I wouldn't hesitate getting the MXL line. I have NEVER had a bad MXL mic, no matter HOW cheap they are. 2 604's and a handshake. In fact, post up the links to that guy please, I feel like 604ing it up!
About the firepod:
I'm not sure what the difference is, but I own a firestudio, and I LOVE it...for the price I couldn't have asked for a better interface.
Hope I helped in some small way,
-Joel
