Music might have stopped me from being a misanthropic criminal so maybe this will change some that are ready are. Jail Guitar Doors is Billy Bragg’s initiative to provide inmates with musical instrument. I believe in personal responsibility so I have to believe in punishment. But locking people up and doing nothing to change there behave other than punishment never made much sense to me. I like this idea. Johnny Cash would approve.
Audiotuts has a list of affordable mics. It is a pretty good list me thinks. But you might want to check out Studio Projects which lower then mics I think are a good value.
Audiotuts also had this link below there mic list but it is a good link that you might have miss to Jake Ludington’s guide to making you own pop filter. Anyone could do this one.

Electric Guitar Review Telecater Relic project is getting further along and lookin’ good. I was apposed to relicing as phony but my mind is changing. I like to give it a try if I get the chance.
Amptone has about a list of about a zillion books about guitar sound.
Crowd Chamber is a new plug-in from QuikQuak. It is not exactly your normal effect. I may never hear a enormous crowd cheering for me but a can simulate one. Actually more appealing is the weirdness you can create with this. From the site:
* Simulates a crowd of up to 2,000,000 voices.
* The perfect new tool for sound design.
* Voices vary in spectral content and delay.
* LFO’s for temporal changes in voices.
* Fast visual editing, with parameter randomisation
functions.
* From simple chorusing effects, small crowds and
stadiums, and on to impossible situations.
* Creates massive stereo sound washes, and extremely
weird animal effects.
* Low Cost
