Ahhhh, the ongoing source of entertainment that is this thread... Honestly, this is funny at this point. I save this thread for when I'm bored at work to catch up and make me shake my head at something other than the people I speak to here. Guys, don't take it so seriously. Really, don't. Furburger just wants to get a rise out of Daspyknows. I think it's safe to say that everyone on this site knows that internal microphones, although can surprise us when the stars align, are generally all crap and make recordings that reflect their quality as a microphone. Real mics, on the other hand will have a sonic leg up on all internals. Tiny stealthy mics, although often a necessary evil for what many of us do, aren't all that bad, and can make a nice recording. They are certainly not as high end as a full-sized, high quality microphones, but they can make a very good recording in the right situation. Sonics, dynamic range, depth, etc are all going to factor into the sound and richness of the recording. The bottom line, however, is that some people are tone-deaf and won't hear the difference. That isn't an insult, it's a fact. Not far above that bottom line is the simple fact that different people like different things, and sound. Additionally, there is a certain pride
(perhaps not the best choice of words) in our own recordings - when they come out to our liking, of course. All of these factors come into play when it comes to our opinions about this stuff... so I think everyone needs to be a little bit kinder. Just sayin'.
