You have four voice actors, a likely reverbating room and a single microphone? If you want to get four actors with a single mic, you need a reasonably wide characteristic and that does not mesh all that well with a reverbating room. I'd have used something like a H2 Zoom (which has 4 built-in mics) where you can sit your actors around and afterwards try mixing down to stereo in a useful manner. That also means minimal equipment to hassle with. It also assumes that you don't need studio quality recordings. But if you do, I think you already have a problem given the equipment you are planning with. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
