Besides, Pro Tools doesn't smell anywhere near as good as a new mic!

Ah ...which software to use. Well, definately not Pro Tools. Although once you have semi mastered almost any of the other major Recording Softwares, Pro Tools is fairly intuitive. The correct answer is almost surely the one given earlier in the forum: The one you are comfortable with. The reason you don't want Pro Tools is that the many options will confuse you. And you will never use a tenth of them unless you are producing music.

Even the Adobe Audition 3 I use is overkill. Having followed it from Cool Edit Pro, it was a comfortable progression. There are many that will get you some some nice clear audio recorded. Audacity (free), Cakewalk Pyro 5 ($40) Sony Sound Forge etc. But if you have almost no experience here is my suggestion. Start with Audacity (just google it) It's a perfect starter software and digital is digital. None record better than others, just more bells and whistles. At some point you will want a few though. Then switch to Adobe Audition 3. If you find a really good deal go ahead and take the earlier iterations of it.

And when you make the Audition move come back and ask what Plug-ins do I want Izotope, Waves, etc. But first things first. Audacity will make good recordings.

I've been using GoldWave since 2005. About 75% familiar with the format, and it feels like a nice fitting pair of shoes. Frank introduced me to Adobe Audition 1.5 a few years ago. I'm still experimenting with the Adobe format. I've downloaded Audacity, but never really taken time to play with it. I'm hoping for plug-ins like Mo Better, Sweet, and Dyno-Mite!

Great Bailey,
Sounds like you are exactly where you need to be. The Audition 1.5 is still an excellent software. Frank steered you right. It's really all and more than you will need. btw I have a AT mic in my stable also the 4033. It is not a go to mic but I like it so much I can't get rid of it The 2035 is just amazing for its price point too. Probably for the price a finer mic can't be found actually. I think you are good on this part of your chain.... Even after
three decades in Radio/TV I think Acting may now be your continued advancement move, as it is mine.
