Studio Recorder is capable of very high quality recording. It all depends on the quality of your microphone, preamp, and sound card. And of course, high quality cables and connections. I'm sure many folks on the list, or even those great support people at APH can supply suggestions for makes and models.

He told me that he has an employe who records from his computer at home. My friend even sent me a demo recorded by this employee, and yes, the quality is a lot better than mine. Is there a way to do radio Quality recordings with our wonderfull studio recorder? Do I need a certain type of microphone?
