Hello there,
I'm a professional audio engineer and composer very interested in nature sounds
and thought I would pass this information on to you. If a person who does their
own editing doesn't have a high enough quality soundcard to convert the
recording from disc recorder to the computer, this seriously degrades the
sound. So really, if you are using high quality microphones and equipment and
are concerned about quality I would highly recommend purchasing a good pro
audio soundcard. (ex. brand name M audio $150 and up)
Of course knowing how to use the editing software properly is very important
and there is a big difference in results between a novice and pro user. There
are filtering and equalizing techniques I routinely employ to remove hiss,
rumble or other unwanted noise. For those interested in commercial releases or
just very serious about the sound quality, they might consider hiring the
services of a professional. I apologize in advance if this subject has already
been discussed.
Sincerly,
Kent Shaw
