so i recently got a $100 gift card at guitar center. i'm mainly interested in recording gear / mics rather than instruments or cables or mic stands. here's what i got 3 akg C418's 2 sm57's 2 akg c1000's (yeah, yeah, i know, i know) 2 cascade fathead II's akg d112 akg perception 220 cad equitek e100 ...

Long time gawker, first time poster! So, i'm about to record a band in a garage. One point of reference is Foo Fighters' Wasting Light...haha, no. i know i'm no Butch Vig.
