I just heard an advertisment on WRKR out of Kalamazoo that Guitar Center is selling Behringer Mixers for $39!!!! So, tomorrow, when I get that loverly little bi-weekly piece of paper with all the little numbers on it, I'm going to take Jen out to a nice dinner at Brann's Steak House, and then we're hitting Guitar Center!

Hopefully, by the end of the weekend, I should be working with better equipment.

Sounds like it could be either the UB802... UB1002... or the UB502.

On their companion website (Musician's Friend) they have the following:

Behringer Eurorack UB502 for $34.99

Behringer Eurorack UB802 for $49.99

I'm guessing it's one of these two. Figure out which one. If it's the UB802 then great, if its the UB502 then get then print out the page on that link and take it with you. They should match the price, and save you 5 bucks.

Well, I went to Guitar Center in Kalamazoo tonight and picked up a Behringer UB802 Mixer board for 39 bucks. They had some decent condenser mics on sale too, I can't remember the brand name. They were on sale, buy one at 99 bucks and get one free! I sooooooooooooooooooooooo wanted to do it, but I didn't have the cash to spare and the plastic's a little beat up at the moment. DAMN, I hate being poor!

That's a great deal on mics at Guitar Center. A great way to expand your "choices". You can get a nice sounding mic for $99. That's two for $49.50! <g>

I'll bet those were Octava mic's! I worked with an engineer a few months ago who told me about a great deal on those babies. He said you could pick up a pair for about $100 at a Guitar Center. He also said, get 'em if you can.

I read the reviews on the model and most were very positive; however, a pop filter was required for vo as they were so sensitive.

I think the Octava MK-219 has been discontinued. But, for the buck, you can't find a better deal. The engineer said to his ears, the Octava MK-219 was incredible. The mic's sound as good as a Sennheizer 421.

Ebay has a pair: Octava I also found a single mic that's has an opening bid of $9.99.

There's no way you could go wrong with a pair of those. There must be something around your crib you can sell. How about your cat or dog or something?
