kind of sound. Much bigger. Your sound was more helium baloon creeping up.

What do you expect recorded with the "Hit Kit"?
 
Here's someone selling cockateils for $5! http://forum.parrotsociety.org.au/viewtopic.php?p=867&sid=ba3a6abb0a85f8a22fd033f5317a49cd Get a bird, and practice your song repeatedly next to it. Before you know it, you'll get pro-quality sound reproduction! Seriously, you can start with some Wings songs!

You'll find audiophiles who say that you need an African Gray Parrot to do it right (way above your budget, sorry), but they're more caught up on branding, and justifying the bucket of $$$ they dropped. They'll go on and on about cockateils lacking low end definition and being raspy in the highs, but that's just because their ears are fried from all the squawking they've heard from those Grays. Believe me, you can seriously do it all with a cockateil.

Oh, there's a small chance that the bird won't like your song, and that you'll get bit (or seriously worse...), but that's part of being a serious pro.

Our band used to use one of those to record all of our burps and farts.

We'd leave it on pause/record 24/7 and be layin there at nite, almost asleep, and " click..burrrrrrrrp.....click", "click...thbbbbbbbpt...click"

It was most excellent. :p

We made 3 90 minute cassette tapes of burps, farts and the occasional piss in the toilet.

ahhh memories....

I can't believe you people are making fun of me. I used to have some really good gear but I sold it all to Whitestrat to raise money so my grandma can have an operation on her cataract.
I should just off myself now and end it all. :mad:
 
We're not making fun of you! We were simply remarking on the fact that some of the guys provided rather...eh, shall I say extravagant answers to solve your problem?

But hey, selling yourself might help raise more money for something better :p only kidding!
 
It keeps getting better and better.:eek::D
This is the mother of all humor-disconnect threads.:) Keep baitin' 'em JTC!!!!11!!1:D

JTC... the bait master... or is that the master baiter?

Yes, and I took advantage of him in his vulnerable moment--I cleaned him out for pennies on the dollar! I've got all his gear, he's looking for an old cassette deck, and his grandma got a back alley eye surgery by a dry cleaner using a wire hanger...and they did the wrong eye!!!

Damn you! You made me feel like a reasonably attractive girl with not so good social skills on prom night. And now all my grandma's boyfriends call her Fisheye! :(
 
Okay, first: Can you get your car up to 88 mph? If you can find Doc Brown and make a 1.21 Jigawatt Nuclear powered Delorian (he stole it all for a box of pinball parts) you should be all set to visit 1963. For $38 you can pick up some pro-gear from a guy named Rupert or Putnam. I hear they were pretty good back then.
