I am new to the Mac audio recording. I am used to using PC's for doing all my voice work. I have recently been hired to a company that is giving me my dream editing suite.

I also do their video editng so i have picked out a great G5.

My question is this...

Simple enough...

What do i need to do simple voice overs. I have the computer... now I need the Mic and whatever is needed to record to the mac.

If someone could just give me a run down of what I need to hook up a vocal mic to my G5.

Thanks!

For proper quality voiceover recordings you need :

1. a recording booth with good acoustics
2. a quality condenser microphone (for instance Neumann U-87)
3. a quality mic preamp / compressor-preamp combo (for instance Focusrite Voicemaster Pro)
4. an audio interface with balanced audio inputs (for instance Digi 002 Rack although you probably don't need so many inputs) With this unit you also get ProTools LE software which is fantastic for audio recording, editing and post-production.

thanks for you help!
