I am currently using a Rode NTG1 shotgun mic fed into a Zoom H4N Digital Recorder through the XLR input for recording dialogue on film shoots. I also have a PreSonus Firewire audio interface, and I use Adobe Audition CS6 for mixing and editing. Is this equipment adequate for recording Foley?

I am somewhat surprised there isn't a Foley thread. Are there any Goons familiar with recording Foley? It would be interesting to learn about the different equipment and techniques specific to recording Foley.

Great article, thanks for the link. I think I might upgrade my Rode NTG-1, to the NTG-3, and then shoot for a Sennheiser MKH416. I also want to try one of the tips given about recording Foley on a sound stage and recording with one mic at the source of the sound and using another farther away and pointed in the opposite direction.
