A Few Words On Sound Quality

For both of my current apps, "Taiwanese" and "Cantonese", the audio recordings obviously play a central role in the apps' functionality. To ensure that users are happy with the quality of these recordings, I'm currently using a Nady SPC-25 condenser mic fed into a Mackie 1402 Mixer. The analog to digital conversion is then handled by a Presonus Firebox audio interface connected to a Mac.
This setup has worked well so far and I hope users find the audio quality more than sufficient. Soon I'll also be evaluating the CEntrance MicPort Pro, which has received many glowing reviews, as an alternative recording setup. Please be assured that we're not cutting corners when making these recordings.
Once again, thanks to all my customers for your support!
