ISDN vs. IP

A phone patch is usually done using a phone hybrid. You plug your phone jack into the hybrid, it acts like a telephone, but transfers the incoming and outgoing audio so you can plug it into your rig. Gentner is the most well known high end hybrid manufacturer. Telos makes them too, in fact the Zephyr XStream is an excellent regular phone hybrid in addition to it's ISDN function (just call the ISDN line with a regular phone.) But if you don't want to drop 4 figures on a hybrid, visit JK Audio's website - they make solid, versatile, reliable boxes for short money. I have a JK Audio "THAT" that's 9 years old, still works like the day i got it. It's small and requires no power.

Not familiar with the Emu1616, but if you're not using a mixing board or switcher, you'll have to configure it to do a phone patch, feeding it with a dedicated output, and listening with a dedicated input - then setting it up so you can hear the phone while only recording your voice, not the phone. Some of the more expensive JK audio hybrids may have a headphone jack, so you could conduct the session and monitor your VO using that. I find using an auxiliary send on a mixing board is the easiest way to patch - also enables you to feed other audio sources over the phone.

Hope that helps ! For FTP, just download "Core FTP" for PC, or "Fetch" for the Mac (i use Transmit on my Mac). Log into your web server, and get busy :)
