Currently using well wind-shielded Shure Dynamic cardiod microphones (SM57 - better for speech than SM58), balanced XLR connections running to a mixing console insure no ground loops, background noise and excellent signal to noise ratio. Using Acer lap-top with Total Recorder program (proprietary software) which can be used to perform edits and record to many differing formats
Patrick also has the advantage of being both a musician (keyboard player) as well as an amateur sound engineer, used to using and setting mixing consoles and performing recording using the latest software technology. Patrick also understands something of acoustics.
