Your opinion wanted: best way to record narration

[Betzi]

Hi all,

I've agreed to help someone record an audio narration for her
PowerPoint presentation. This presentation will not need to go on the
web -- the presenter will be out of town on the day of the
presentation, and the slides/narration will be presented to a live
audience.

I have three ways to do such a thing (at least I have three things at
my disposal - I'm not interested in buying another product), and
having never added a narration to PowerPoint, I thought I'd ask for
everyone's opinion. Should I:

1. Just use the record narration feature in PowerPoint. (I have the
OfficeXP version).

2. Use RoboPresenter -- I know that Macromedia just bought this
product and now calls it Breeze, but I have the older version of
RoboPresenter.

3. Use Microsoft Producer.

If any of you have any thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Betzi

Throw out #1. Recording in PowerPoint really sucks. If your interested, visit

were done with a microphone and the software that came with my SoundBlaster
sound card.
