Hi,
I consider buying a microphone (not expensive but from the reviews and sample on Amazon it sounds pretty good).
And I am wondering what software I need to have to work with this microphone. If I understand correctly, if I don't buy any software, the PC OS (Windows 7 in my case) will use the Control Panel -> Sound application (default). I am concerned that this - default - application will be the bottle-neck and will reduce the quality of recording, even if I use a good mic.
What do you think? If you record your voice (for whatever reasons), do you use software other than the PC Sound?
TIA
