My day job is doing web development, but I also volunteer with a non-profit and am helping them to setup a podcast.

Hmm, ok, I've done it before with instruments (e.g., rhythm vs lead guitar) and just assumed the same would hold true for vocals, but you're probably right.

Thanks for the advice :) Can you explain why you wouldn't recommend panning? My thought was that a subtle difference between the speakers would sound a bit more realistic

I don't understand all the reasons behind it, but I've seen it recommended a few times. I think part of it is that the MP3 encoder is going to ditch frequencies that the human ear can't hear anyway, and that the encoder will be able to create a better sounding file if it has less data to analyse from the start. I've heard recommendations to throw out anything below 80hZ or above 11khZ. What do you think?

comment How can I find good quality discounted audio gear?
I realize it may be kind of a grey area, so I'm happy to delete it if the mods think it should be, but I think it's a very practical question for most people in the field. I phrased it in general terms so that it's not a "Let's Go Shopping" question.

comment Equipment setup for recording a podcast
It turns out that they're already got mics, so I just needed the main piece. I ended up proposing a PreSonus AudioBox USB Recording Interface for the cheap version, and a Zoom H4n for the "expensive" version. Thanks for all your help :)

I know that if you're recording from the line-in then that will pick up a lot of the internal hum, but don't you avoid all that when using an audio interface?
