I’ve used three different inexpensive USB mics since I started at LibriVox, so if you listen to my older recordings you’ll hear quite a variation in sound quality. For my birthday last year Dan bought me a condenser mic (I think it’s an AKG Perception) and an M-Audio USB interface thingy, so I’ve been using that since last September or so. I think it gives a pretty good sound.

I have to be honest and don’t really have a need for it since I’ve been using GarageBand for the podcasts and any librivox readings I do. It may be overkill for the librivox readings, but it works for me. On a completely different topic, what recording gear do you use?

Audacity is free; Sound Studio is $80. I tried Audacity, but I hated the UI. Sound Studio has a beautiful clean OS-Xy UI, and, ordinarily, it works like a charm, is stable, and never gives me a moment’s trouble. I’ll be sure to post when they fix this horrible bug, and then I suggest you download the 30-day demo and give it a try. But never never never upgrade without saving a backup of whatever version you have that’s working!

Looks like an interesting piece of software. In your opinion, How does it compare to Audacity?
