<p>I do sound at my church, and did my son’s prescreening recordings there (a side benefit). We did it with the standard hand held mics the church had (about $100 microphones). The recording was “ok”, but way better than what you would get with built in mics on computers and video recorders.</p>
<p>Recently, the church purchased $500+ mics for music purposes. Those mics are awsome, and I recorded him this weekend singing for a wedding. My wife noticed the dramatic improvement in recording quality.</p>
<p>That said, the people reviewing audition CD’s for college know that high quality recordings are the exception, rather than the rule. Good thing they are listening for technique and such, where sound recording quality can be overlooked.</p>
