Robert,
Great minds think alike! [grin]
I bought the Sound Professionals Premium Cardoids (the AT853), and am VERY
happy with them and even more happy with the great support I get from Chris
at Sound Professionals. I also bought the battery box with switchable low
pass filters, but I don't use the filters at all. Since I digitally
transfer the sound files to my PC for mastering, I can roll off the bass
there if I need to. However, I have never needed to, even in situations
where the bass is very boomy sounding at the venue. I use the mikes with a
Sharp 702. I use the Hoontech Yamaha XG card to do my digital transfers to
and from a Sharp MD-R2 deck which I am also happy with. I don't think you
would gain anything, even if you are going to edit the audio in your
computer, by buying a more expensive sound card. Digital is digital, so when
you transfer it, there will be no difference once it is in your computer
whether you use one sound card or another as long as it has a Toslink
connection.
BTW, you want to get the best recording possible, whether or not you plan to
edit it in your computer. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear,
though you can do some pretty amazing things with the right tools.

I am thinking of something similar.
So far -
Sound Professionals standard cardiods (value-for-money)
or
Sound Professionals premium cardiods (performance)
Sound Professionals battery unit with switchable low pass filters
Sony MD520 (bought last year)
Hoontech SoundTrack Yamaha XG with XG DBI (digital interface)
(value-for-money)
or
Hoontech SoundTrack 4ch (performance)
I'll probable go for premium cardiods, but the cheaper sound card, to get
the best recording onto MD, leaving the computer processing until I have a
faster computer.
Any experiences of any of the above?
Rob Felton
