We want to make some
speech recordings in an anechoic chamber (or a sound booth) and are looking for
recommendations for a reasonably priced recording microphone for the task
(or do we really need to spend a good bit of money for quality recordings?).
Given we will be recording in quiet any thoughts on the microphone polar pattern
(omni seems to make more sense)? Something with a flat frequency response and
low mic noise seems like a good start. We will likely be using commercial
software for the recording process (e.g. Adobe Audition, or SoundForge) in
conjunction with an Echo DARLA 8-channel sound card. Any thing else I
should be thinking about? Any specific suggestions? I appreciate any
thoughts you might share.
