Hi, i own an AUDIO TECHNICA AT-4040 and was thinking about picking up PreSonus FIREBOX to record a temp V.O. for my film. I'm supposed to record my V.O. at a professional studio next month but I've heard that Woody Allen used to record temp V.O. in his apartment in NY and he would fall in love with the temp track so much that he would end up using it in the film.
So my question is how good of a quality can I expect from an at-4040/firebox combo? It's going into a Mac. Would it scream "home made" if you heard it in a movie theatre? The film was shot on 35mm and has stars in it and looks pro. It would be professionally mixed with foley, bg, and sound design tracks.
Should I look for something with a tube preamp or would that be overkill?
I wouldn't want to spend more than $500 on the set up.
Also I can hear cars in the background every 20 seconds, but barely. Not sure if that could be an issue. Not sure if the noise can be filtered out.
