It&#8217;s a short visit so time will be limited but I figured I could at least get the Hiragana sounds done (male version by yours truly). I&#8217;m looking for a budget mic that costs less than $100 and can be used by multiple people in a quiet room. Does anybody have any good recommendations? I&#8217;m currently thinking about buying the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/asin\/B000EOPQ7E\/drbacchus\/\">blue snowball<\/a>. I definitely like that it has an omni-mode so that I don&#8217;t have to buy a mic for each person once I get to doing audio for conversations.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the kind folks who&#8217;ve contributed to the audio fund, I now have enough funds there to cover a mic under $100. But you know what? I&#8217;m going to pay for it out of pocket because I&#8217;d like the donations to go to something more than just gadgets that I want to buy anyway. I&#8217;d also like to take this opportunity to thank those who have contributed so far (discreetly ordered in dollar amounts heh). Thanks and I hope to bring some audio to the site in the near future.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mike C.<\/li>\n<li>Steven S.<\/li>\n<li>Jeff M.<\/li>\n<li>The Compagniye Store<\/li>\n<li>Jonathan G.<\/li>\n<li>Oliver N.<\/li>\n<li>Daniel C-W.<\/li>\n<li>Helen F.<\/li>\n<li>Lloren\u00e7 S.
