I still can't decide between this and the Samson meteor mic. which is better for recording vocals? (mainly singing) and does this work on Windows 8?

I can't speak to which would be better for singing but this mic works amazingly for recording speech. I did record a friend singing and playing guitar from it and it sounded pretty good, considering I had it halfway across the room. As for Windows 8, I have no problems with 7, 8 or 8.1.

I've tried different microphones for home studio recording I do not recommend a shotgun mic for music. But if you are using the mic for just voice recording it could be a nice option. For my camera recording I use the SG 108 and it's pretty good for the price. So in my opinion it should be a good buy.

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's. I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

for recording definitely. especially for the price. for performing i've never had a problem. one draw could be that it doesn't have an on/off switch, but i actually prefer that. it's a rugged little gem that sounds great. i might suggest that because you're a female vocalist and you feel your "voice is not powerful" you might want to save a little more and get the e935. i hear it's better for female vocals. but who know's.

I have the MAC MINI. I think it is compatible with windows but always check first go to YouTube that's what I did. If it is compatible and you need a microphone you can purchase the irig microphone also bit if you need a mic with an USB than get the YETTI.

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

Are you running Windows 7? I ran into some problems trying to get the microphone to work on Windows 7 but would be happy to show you how to do it if needed

The microphone is fantastic for use in many situations. It works great on filtering out background noise. I would think it most definitely works with XP since it supports Vista, Windows 7 & 8.

I have windows 7 , it should work with 8 , I just plugged it in and away I went with the mic downloading any drivers need from the mic .I use audacity a free program , it is good enough right now for my recording purpose . you may need to adjust the mic inputs from the windows control panel I tweaked out the volumes and such there ,was pretty easy stuff . Like I say it is good entry mic when I sang into it sounded good and I am a smoker of 30 years so if it can make me sound good . worth the 20-30 bucks for it

The mic itself doesn't come with any software. It's plug-n-play to the bone. But that's ok, because you can download Audacity for free for PC and Macs. Really powerful software, simple to learn, and like I said... FREE!

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

I only used it with windows and was not impressed. I bought it to record law school lectures but the mic on my Surface Pro and speech to text in onenote was a much better (and free) solution

No, I use it for my Windows computer. It's just the same as a normal desktop microphone for a computer.

Definitely i used mine for everything until i upgraded. Practice, recording, performing. It works fine for all, one gripe though. Its a bit quiet when performing outside, requiring you to put your mouth really close. Other than that it's a great mic. Durable, sounds good.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!
