I'll see if I can help you. I'm not good with the audio technical stuff.
My mic goes into my Symetrix. Symetrix hooks into my MBox. MBox goes to my Mackie board. I also have a Telos Zephyr in the mix. I hope this helps.

Not sure what your sound card/audio input setup is, but here's how I have mine setup. It's probably more complex than it needs to be but it works best in my situation.
I have my microphone/preamp patched straight into my MBox. I then run the rear headphone out line into a channel on my mixer. I then run my THAT-1 into another channel on the mixer, and then monitor the whole thing thru the mixer's headphone amp. That way, I get a clean signal going into the computer, and the client still can hear and direct me without interfering in the audio chain. As for the cable, my THAT-1 came with an RCA to 1/8 inch jack which I just add a 1/4" adapter to, and plug it into one of my mixer's channels. If I get a chance this weekend, I'll send you some pictures of how it's setup in my studio.
cheers!

Thanks again.
Thanks for reaching out to me hermano! It has been a good year. January set the bar pretty high and so far each month is getting better and better. VO is just like sales. The more time you put into it. The more patience you have and the more networking you do in the end it will pay off.
As far as dry versus wet...Id say almost 90% of the gigs I've been getting since that post have been wet.
Take care and if there is anything I can do let me know.
But seriously--Great sounding voice. My advice would be to go to a Sam Ash or some audio retail store and ask to demo certain mics. There are quite a few of them out there now, which sound spectacular. Many VO guys are using shotgun mics which were previously only seen attached to TV cameras.
Find the mic you're comfortable with, THEN, ask to demo mic processors. This can take some time, since you'll have a tendancy to adjust and re-adjusted for days (weeks, actually), until it's right. You don't have to spend a fortune on any of this stuff, but, you may have to set money aside , if it's to be the tool of your trade.
Best of luck to you!
