There is a program called "Spectra-Lab" or something of that sorts. I have used it briefly and it is quite versatile. Can't speak for how much it costs though as it was someone else's computer. As to finding a microphone that is quite excellent for the money, try contacting Old Colony Sound Labs. They have what is called "Mitey Mic" and they are on the second version of this. It is very linear and was designed by Joe D'Appolito if memory serves me right. Once you've gotten a good mic, you'll have to invest in a good sound card. If you've ever looked at the frequency response chart or specs for a typical "sound blaster" type of card, you'll realize that it is FAR, FAR below what you would want to do the job. Sean
