Question by Arch Nerd: What is the best way to record audio for a voice over when you’re not in a studio?
I need to record some voice over (non-singing/music, so no desire for ambient sound), but I’ll be traveling and visiting the voice talent in different locations. What would be the best way to record audio but with portable equipment?
1) Buy a portable field recorder (like a Marantz PMD660) to record and then transfer to my laptop

2) Buy a high-quality microphone, stand, pop screen, and then just plug it directly into my laptop when I record

Or, is there an even better way than either of these?
