Really, once you have a good microphone and can capture it digitally at 44.1KHz or higher, you’re good to go to make professional audio. From there it’s down to your own personal abilities to record audio, which requires knowing your tools and paying attention to the recording environment.

Each level of tool noted, as you make your way up the scale, makes for better and better audio under a greater and greater range of conditions. But if you know your tools and how to use them, you can make awesome audio with some darn cheap tools these days.
