Hey, I'm new to recording sound...

My concentration is mainly Foley and sound FX

What kind of equipment would be ideal for a these projects...

I have a Tascam DR-100 digital recorder and I was thinking about purchasing a shotgun mic... but I have know clue what model to get.

I'd appreciate it if someone would clear things up for me.... Send me some good introduction to Foley links or just share anything they've got for me.

Welcome, tripaplex!

Hope something like this will work for you:
