Ok guys, thanks for the tips. Yesterday morning I purchased for under $200 an audio package. If anyone besides the posters are reading this, let me tell you from my new found experience what to do.
Here’s a list of my purchases yesterday:

– Marshall MXL2006 Studio Condenser Microphone $100
– Phantom 48 Volt Phantom Power Supply $50
– Tube MP Project Series Microphone Preamp $50

Guys this is it. It sounds phenomenal. For the past couple weeks I was wondeing what the hell was wrong with my setup. It’s all in the equipment, especially the Tube preamp. It makes a world of difference, giving the vocals a professional warm sound. Obviously it helps if you can annunicate and speak clearly. People were telling me it was my voice that wasn’t professional and my experience was lacking. I love proving them wrong. Alright thanks for the help everyone.

My voice is warm, the mic is not. i just thought there might be some presets to pay attention to, ie: EQ presets. I know radio personalities use compression presets on their mics. ie: Howard Stern’s mic is much warmer and bassier than the guests. Each guest on the show has different tones and levels to their voice. I’m using a dynamic mic (Shure BG 1.0) however I’m buying the Marshall MXL 2001 so hopefully that will help the situation. all in all I was just wondering if anyone had experience with using different presets or filters. Thanks.

Thanks for those tips. I’m using a Shure BG 1.0 mic ($60) and am running it through a minidisc player to the mac where my audio record program is Sprak XL. I then take the audio file and input in to FCP where I layer and edit. I realize that FCP is not a sound editor but it does the trick when I want to do layering, as Spark is not very good with that. Thanks again. Any more suggestions I’d be willing to hear.

What should my export setting be though? “Current Settings”?

How would I create a reference file? Export using Quicktime? Thanks.
