Recording Software - Some Hard Choices? No not really...

Dear Master VO,

I'm fairly new to the field and wondered if you might be able to give me some advice on recording at home.  Right now, I am recording with NCH Sound Pad recording software.  Would you know of another kind of software available where I could mix background effects (music, etc.) to enhance the quality of the audition? 

Thank you.

Tony Gentile

Keep It Simple!

Dear Master VO,

I want to get started in Voice over. All I have right now is a Labtec Microphone that I bought on the shelf of a local Wal-Mart store of mine and I am really under the impression that that might not be considered adequate enough by seekers of professional voice-over talent.

I would like to know if professional home studio equipment (such as a professional microphone, audio console board, etc.) are needed or not perform voice-over/narration works at your home for whatever job you eventually land.

Money In The Bank

Firewire cards and high end mics. Are they for you? That depends on several variables.

Hi Master VO,

I have a question regarding mics. For studio quality do I need a class A large diaphram condenser mic? If so what do you suggest? Also am I right in saying that you can combine a preamp and sound card in one unit like the RME fireface 400, thus needing only a basic firewire card to get the signal into your PC?

cheers!
