Can someone explain to me how to set this up to record? And does you computer need a Mic or built in Mic to record?

you plug your instrument (and speakers or headphones) into this device, it acts as a sound card in the computer and your recording software should 'see' it and record it digitally.

You need to install all the needed drivers. Once you do that, you should be able to see the podgx as a ASIO capable sound source in your DAW. You don't need a built in mic on your pc. You do need something to plug into the podgx such as an electric guitar.

If your laptop has a mic in plug (most do) you should be able to use your Sony mic. The problem is Windows does not come with a good recording program. You need a program like Goldwave or WavePad to record and then to tweak and edit the sound afterwards. Basically, this recorder is a small computer. Your laptop or Mac should be fine. Keep in mind that the better quality microphone you use, the better the recording will be. You might also consider a small mic mixer, if you want to have multiple microphones.

No. It's just the software for your PC, so you can record it on your PC. You'll need a minimum small mixer or a USB Microphone.

A good mic for performing, not sure about recording. I typically use a condenser mic for recording.

It really depends on how you want to use it. For a large venue you will need to hook it to your PA system's amp or mixer. For recording just hook into your recorder.

I believe all you need is a microphone port on your device. Do remember that this mic only works with one unit...buying two and trying to record two sources renders one of them useless (cancels the other out).

This type of microphone requires a "pre-amp". Most mixing boards have these built in to the mic channels but since you are going direct to computer without first going through a mixer you'll need to buy a standalone preamp of some sort.

Yes, you connect the AudioBox to the laptop, and the microphone or instrument connects to the AudioBox. You have to use the included software or a third party recording software to actually record. There will be setup involved but a beginner can easily follow the directions and get started.

Well, what I can tell you for sure concerning this device it that you won't sound like a phone recording. But what also is a factor invole when it comes to any type of recording is the equipment itself. The mic system can be top of the line but your actual recording device or system is not, then you yet are not going to get the best qoulity sound. Not saying you have to go broke to get a perfect sound. Just know that the mic along can't give you perfect sound results alone, with that system there you will notice a different in your sound recording. I hope that help some without getting too technical. ""Let's Make It A Hit Studio"

Sorry, but I can't help you. I bought this for my grandson and he only uses it to play music and hasn't tried to record or interface with a computer.

Well what are you confused about all you gotta do is plug the USB in the mic then the mic in the computer what recording program you using?

We plugged it into the microphone jack on our computer.Then, you need a program to use the microphone for recording. We used a free program called Audacity.

Hey Candy, This microphone works with phantom power, so if you want connect it to your computer you are going to need a phantom to usb adapter such as Blue Icicle. Blue Icicle adapter is going to allow you to power your mic with your computer and record with any application or software of your preference after you set it up as your computer external mic. You can find this in amazing too. No cords come with the mic set, you only get the pair of microphones plus the microphone's holder for each one. MXL is a great brand and this pair will offer you an amazon sound quality, although, the problem with phantom powered microphones is that they are very sensitive to temperature. You are dealing with professional equipment, there for maintenance is important. If what you are looking for is a good quality usb microphone, i will recommend you to take a look at Blue. They build great usb powered microphones such as "the snowball. very portable, not too heavy, extremely durable and most importantly good sound quality. this lil guy comes with the stand a cord, ready to go. amazon prizes this product for $49.99 (half the prize of the MXL 550/551) If what you are looking for is good quality and portability, ready to go mic. I will recommend you to go for the Blue Snowball microphone. Great from home standard recording. Otherwise take a look at the blue icicle usb adapter to connect it to your computer. Good Luck!!!

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.

This is only a mic. It plugs by USB into your computer and how you record and play back is up to the software you decide to use. If you are wanting to use it as a PA type mic, I don't think it would work frtha unless you have a speaker that has a USB plug or a interface that would support that...

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers.First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.
