[QUOTE="darkmelody, post: 952564, member: 40578"] ^^ What he said. Definitely for what you are doing, and on a budget software mixing is definitely the way to go. There are a bunch of free eq plug-ins which should work in any audio editor. also a freeware program like Audacity [url=http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac]Audacity: Mac OS 9 / X[/url] is a ludicrously powerful tool, often underestimated especially by apple users for it's undeniable pug-ugliness. There would be a bunch of eq and compression tools as part of it. You can then render and drop the file into Final Cut. As well as Henry 101 suggestion of eq and filtering, experiment with compressing your voice, (I would suggest after recording, but it's a personal thing). Coupled with eq'ing (filtering is a type of eq'ing really) compressing can give your voice more presence. I wouldn't go so far as to pitch shift it, though it's another possibility. Without hearing your voice, often lowering the midrange and cutting the very top end of spoken voice can remove a lot of the garbage. As far as online resources [url=http://homerecording.com/]HomeRecording.com[/url] Totally invaluable, especially because you will need to know what you are trying to do with EQs, compressors etc rather than just playing with settings on the off chance that you might randomly stumble on the result you were after. YES. Especially since you are talking about spending fairly good money on a microphone. [/QUOTE]
