Re: Good mic for voice?

["porl sheean" <porl42@xxxxxxxxx>]

if you have a low level signal to begin with you are going to have a *lot* of noise when you bring the volume up. you are much better off with the signal being boosted before it is digitised, hence the need for a pre. if you want to go cheap, just get whatever preamp you can find (even behringer) and use your current mic. even a cheap pre will work better than none. then you can decide down the track if you think it is worth investing more.

I just fire up Ardour, insert the SC4 ladspa compressor on a track or
bus, and tweak until happy.

It's probably helpful to read something about what all the controls
do.  For example:
