Best Program for Audio Recording
I have an audio-only (speech) project to do. I’ll need to record the talent and then do a bit of sound editing and output to CD. I can do it in Soundtrack Pro, Garage Band, Peak DV or just use the VO tool in FCP. Which of these do you all like to use for this and why?

I won’t do an “essay question” for you.
😉
But I will say that I use FCP (just the audio tracks, of course) to edit all my radio spots.
The filters that I need are all there.
Soundtrack is just fine, too. But I edit on FCP everyday, so I’m faster at it.
I don’t suggest recording the voice with the “voice-over tool” as that would mean you’d ONLY have the voice tracks on your Mac hard drive.
I’d record the voice to, say, DV tape first, then capture it.
You’ll have a “master tape” with Timecode to put on the shelf, and that can be very handy.

No essay necessary. Actually, in the past I have always recorded to another device first, and then brought that into FCP. I was just thinking about eliminating a step this time and going directly to disc. After-all, that’s how it’s done in most recording studios these days.

Of course you CAN do this, but if you ever need to re-edit, your media may no longer be available and/or not match the EDL.
In many recording studios, they do perform Data back-ups for archival purposes.
I just do the “back-up” (the tape) first.

Hi
When you are done with your session, burn your audio files to a cd. Zip em first so as to not lose any of the names. you can unzip em anytime and fcp will relink, no tape or edl necessary
same goes w soundtrack, or bias,
my 2 cents
