Hey well Sr. Senator,
it was with fear of reprisals from you that I have hesitated to post this question and many others. All the while I have been meandering around the internet without the sense that I have full knowledge of the mics available in the price range I am searching in...
How many hours must I research shotgun mics till I have satisfied your quota? Because I can tell you Ive had extensive phone calls with very knowledgeable sound people and researched on my own for hours and hours.
Also, what thread are you speaking of? I just did a couple google searches of jwsoundgroup and didnt see it...
Also, if it pisses you off so much why not just read the other threads and pass over mine, since there have already been many helpful replies to this thread.
If you are going to be the thread police, why not give more detailed feedback than "hey dude, there's a lot good mics out there!"
Many thanks to Nick, Rick, John, and the two Jason's. It's great to see so much quality information being shared, I freaking love jwsoundgroup.net. Just wish I could actually ask the questions that I really need answered without fear of being belittled.
