I did ANYTHING to get mics and stuff when I was younger. Total crack whore.. ;)

I did scour yard sales, ads in the paper, and relatives. ANYTHING. Try to find anything. Use anything. The best mic for 30 dollars is the mic YOU find for 30 dollars and like using. I have a few mics that I got crazy use out of for years, like an EV RE11 that I got for like 7 dollars, and any of those era of dynamics. Skip the shitty condenser. Get a good one when you can, but just get anything right now. None of them will be awesome by professional standards, but who gives a shit? Have fun. That really is the most important part when you are 4 tracking. Get just enough to have fun, and NOTHING more.

Jach, if you see this in time, go for it. It ends in a 1/2 hour. It's at $16 right now, if you can get it for 30 that's good. One of them is a 635a, and that's worth it alone. The other mics should be ok.
