Really tryna talk myself out of buying the Neumann U87 mic. It's $3,600 before taxes. (Edit: $3,200. Why Guitar Center has the exact same mic for $400 more and is able to get away wit it is beyond me.) I have the money to do it immediately, but it would come out of my savings and obviously that's a decent ass chunk all at once. But Goddamn that's truly a lifetime purchase and I would never have to buy anything mic related ever again. There's essentially no higher of a ceiling than the U87. There's that one Sony mic for $10K but at some point the audio quality can only get SO good. U87 is industry standard for a reason. I jus hate the fact that my current mic is $1200 and I jus got it bout 2 years ago. Granted I could easily get $1000 for it at the least because it's in flawless condition, but still. Almost makes me wish I jus waited a lil longer and put the extra $3K together.
I love my mic, it sounds amazing. Shit it should at $1200. But I've recorded on a Neumann U87 back when I was still going to external studios and didn't have a great home set up. And I came out of the booth flabbergasted at how clean it sounded RAW. I asked the engineer "Oh shit you already EQ'd it that quick?" and he said no and that he did absolutely nothing to the vocal take yet. It's so good straight from the source that you almost don't have to mix it smh.
(...) that's truly a lifetime purchase and I would never have to buy anything mic related ever again.

The sting of the initial cost will go away soon enough, and then you’re left very happy with a lifetime purchase. Half measures never leave you satisfied.
Besides, it’s easy enough to go get more money. The government just keeps printing more of it.
Day drinking and watching badly good action movies on basic cable because I'm trapped in a motel for the weekend lol. Boutta walk down the St to the bar for din din
Y'all remember how I fucked a girl in college and found out after the fact she had the same last name as me back before I changed it? Turns out she's a successful tik tok'er with 110k+ subscribers lmao
I remember I woke up late once for work and I messaged JOBE do I even need this job? And he said back “well it helps you afford all your tool shows” or something. Not seeing the point anymore :-??
