XLR to USB Mic Cable for FCP Voice Over?
Hi Ya'll
I wanted to know if there is a Mic cable that has the XLR connnector for the mic and USB for the computer to use in FCP Voice Over? If so, where can I find it? Thanks a bunch, ZIA |

Look for a USB or Firewire Audio Interface. Instead of XLR connectors, some interfaces use 1/4" connectors. Also, consider getting a separate or built in pre-amp, especially if you're using a dynamic mic.

my workaround for V/O is to record directly into my camera (XL2) with an XLR-connected Rode NT1 mic and then capture as "audio only" into FCP, instead of doing V/O directly into the USB interface. the XL2 is equipped with a 48v power source (preamp), so seems to work ok with the Rode mic....
it's probably not maximum studio quality, but it's substantially better than the results available through the USB interface and doesn't require spending more money. depends on the effect you're trying to achieve and the amount you're willing to spend. i'm not a sound expert and would probably take my sound to one if i had a project whose success depended on really great sound. but for what i do, this method works out fine. |
