OT - Sound input for a MacPro

[stephen barncard]

Webcam mics suck for narration. Too far away from the speaker and too much
room tone.
A big omission by many podcasters and users of web video (and video
broadcasters for that matter) is care for SOUND. A lot of people think it's
not important. Video guys are happy if the meter is moving. Use a headset
mic for everything. They often sound better than 'professional' mics for
computer audio.
As far as price of Macs is concerned, I don't have a problem with it. One
gets what one pays for.
