I briefly looked into voice recording on the computer. I don't have direct experience with that microphone, or any other USB mic. I do have a recommendation from some professionals that one should stick with an analog mic connected to the mic in port of the sound hardware. They talked about latency or some such. Like I said, I don't have direct experience. But if you're doing any multi track work, delays from the USB mic might be noticeable. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
