thanks...i am gettting a clearer view of what is involved
i have discussed this with my partner and she favours the simple mic technique with a cable
so we can put the mic to the music source and then to our mouths to do any voice over

when the mic is plugged in and the PE3 is running along in its final edited form...

what would be the method to record that combined microphone input...do i use the media player for that..

this is damn hard for me to understand so please make some allowances..i am an accountant!!

cheers
