HERE'S WHAT VOICE ACTORS ARE DOING AROUND THE WORLD!
Duane,
Yep, I always PAD on the mic first as it's a lot easier to get to than the one of the back of the interface - and a lot easier to remember. It turns out, that what worked out best for me was PADding AND backing up a step.
Thanks for confirm…
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS PAD FROM THE MIC FIRST.
back away from the mic a few steps or depending if you know what Im talking about PAD the mic.
That is, simply put - amazing and touching! Very, very well done. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I know you’ve been a member of Voiceover Universe for some time, but I wanted to introduce one of our groups to you.
I hope you'll check out and join a group called MARKETING FOR FUN AND PROFIT. It's a group dedicated to discussing ways we can market ourselves - what works; what doesn't.

You are AWESOME!
Thanks for the quick response. I will follow your advice and contact Jim.
Would you suggest a Studio Projects C3 for me with the MBOX 2 just to improve the quality a little.
I know I can by without an additional pre-amp - but I wanted to improve the quality a little.....
Thanks SO much for the suggestions.

DAVID ALDEN said… - Thanks for the info...
You could always use SC and a "bridge" (like outofhear), so your client hooks up isdn and you're on SC. Of course, it'll cost ya about $80 or so... don't know exactly, but if it's a recurring gig or a large paying one it could justify the cost.
Take it easy,
David
