would this mic be good recording vocals on a computer

Yes, the clarity is very good for recording. I use this mic for church and it does a wonderful job with the vocals.

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier. But you could probably use an adapter that converts the analog to digital, but I don't know what the quality would be. If you want to do that, something like this should work: niceEshop(TM) 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female Stereo Audio Jack Adapter Cable,Black" rather thanBut if you're using it in an amplifier, it's a great microphone. But I recommend you get these as well to protect it from spit and such: Bluecell Black 5 Pack Microphone Windscreen Foam CoverBut if you want a good digital microphone for recording in a computer sound editing software or just for voice chatting or whatever, I recommend this: Frisby Stand Alone Microphone for PC Computer Laptop Notebook, VOIP, w/noise cancelingHope I helped ;) Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier.

If you want to record your voice you need to purchase Mic with connection to computer with the USB CONNECTIONYOUR COMPUTER NEEDS TO HAVE GOOD SOUND CARD OTHERWISE YOU NEED TO HAVE M-AUDIO

It would work--but I don't think you will be pleased with the results, unless you have a really well treated recording area. The 990 is a great mic for vocals--it is a very sensitive large condenser mic and will pick up a lot of things you more than likely don't want in your recording. I think you would be better off with a small condenser, mic with a much tighter pick-up attern. There are several, both MXL and other great names in mice for about the same price point. Hope that helps.

It's not a USB microphone, but if you use any audio interface you can use it to record into a computer. I personally use it to record vocals and acoustic guitar through a focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interact

With this microphone, you will need an audio interface to enable a hook-up to your computer. The audio interface, like a USB mixer, will enable you to plug in the XLR connector from the mic into the mixer and then output the signal to your computer via a USB cable. I would suggest purchasing a USB microphone which will plug directly into your laptop or desktop. The Blue USB microphone was on sale at Amazon for $50 a few days ago. The AT-2020 is also a good choice. You'll then need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in order to edit, enhance, save your work. There are free DAWs like Audacity and others that you can purchase. I narrate books for Audible.com and used the AT2020 for narrating a number of books with good results. There are better choices for a dynamic microphone than this PG48. I purchased this mic earlier this year and found it to be very "tinny"--not full bodied. I returned the mic for a refund.

I,m not 100 percent sure , but any computer with a line in and half decent audio software will accept it fairly well as this is how I am recording atm , but naturally keeping an eye on your input levels becomes your biggest problem , sorry couldn't answer exact question , :(

This would be excellent for that purpose it picks up sound in an omni directional pattern and is extremely sensitive.You will need a phantom power source for this active mic.

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that

As long as your computer has the appropriate stereo jack, yes, the microphone will work.

Depends on your budget and application (mostly budget). Go to a music store and try a few mics.

If your laptop has a stereo 1/8" mic input, the mic should work with it. The audio quality of the mic is OK for the price, and adequate for voice (pod casts), but don't expect it to be "pro" quality, especially for music. The mic preamplifiers in your laptop will also have some influence on the audio quality. Generally speaking, most computers don't have great preamps, so they contribute a bit of background noise to the audio.

Yes I use it for my desktop and it works really well. The mic is crystal clear. Definitely worth the price. Has two jacks btw, 1 for headphone and 1 for mic

It would need an xlr cable(and an interface) to connect to a computer.You can buy a USB mic, they go in directly and work great.

If your computer has "mic in" NOT "line in" port, it should theoretically work (it's got a standard 1/8" headphone style wire on it). But the low quality of most "mic in" ports along with the fairly low quality of this microphone may not produce stellar results.

Yes, it would work great for voice overs and narrating. And it would work on your computer aswell all you would need is an audio interface to channel your voice into the computer
1522668
yes it will..i use this to record my vocals..i would rather have one with a betyer pre-amp but on a budget it gets the job done just fine

Although I like the mic for back-up vocals in live venues, I probably would not use it for recording purposes. I've never used it for mic-ing a piano or other instrument.
