  Recording Voice Over without a mixer?

  Posted by Mia Maffioli on March 9, 2012 at 5:58 pm

  Hello

  I have to record a voice over in FCP using the voice over tool.
  I work on a Mac Pro (desktop), and I would like to get a mic to go in straight, without a mixer.
  I can never remember which type of mic works without a mixer- USB or Line In?
  Any suggestion on a fairly cheap but good mic also appreciated!

  Thanks

  M

  Get a USB mic. That’s what I use for all of my VO. At home I have the Snow Ball:

  At work we have an Audio-Technica AD2020

  Note: my VO is all temp…so the quality of the mic is perfect for that. If you want it to be PRISTINE, you need a GOOD condenser mic and mixer
