has anyone tried recording music (vocals or instrumentals) with this mic?

I've used this mic for a podcast, and it handles a speaking voice just fine. For instrumentals, I've had more success with the Blue Yeti.

I don't see why you couldn't connect it if you have a 3.5 mm adapter, although I have never done that before. Not sure how it sounds when recording but to give you a suggestion, you might want to look for a different product because to me it doesn't seem like a good choice if you're trying to record a voice or something else. It's mostly good for live situations, like if you're plugging it into an amp to have a jam session. Hope this helps!

I did not have any issues with getting the microphone to work. The mic does not work at certain times, for example between songs. You may want to go through setting to increase the mic volume and decrease the music volume.

This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much. BUT, when I plug a mic into the line in, it doesn't work. I've gone through it to see if I have to tell it to use the line in and from what I can tell, it should be using it but I can only get the onboard mics to pic up sound. I have a TASCAM GB10 for my guitar and that thing kicks ass. I thought this was going to be another version of that but there's no guitar input as stated. As far as capacity it's all up to how much space you load into it. You use SD cards so if you put in a 2GB, I highly doubt you're going to record a set. So just get as big of a card as possible.

Yes,just plug it into Mic/Ext In.it distorted because you didn't set the format high enough. I set it at 128k in the beginning,it distorted bad.after i set it to 256k it sound very good.

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

Yes and the sound quality can be amazing if you tweak the settings for your recorder. I learned to shut off the Low Cut Filter (which was killing the bass but helped voice recording) and set the Record Mode to PCM for CD quality. I am very happy with the music recording and the playback sounds great with the included stereo earbuds.

I just used it to record vocals and group scenes for a musical it did great. I have the iPad 3 it works fine with it. It plugs in just like ear buds with a mic.

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try audacity its a recording software for Windows and Apple and if that doesn't help try Sound Record or Cakewalk

There is a line-in that can be used for recording. There is also an xlr input. While I have never used them, I am sure the sound quality should be ok. I would recommend the wearing of a headset to listen for residual sound that may be adjusted out using the mixer.

Yes - but I don't know the sensitivity (threshold that triggers the mic). I use "always on" to avoid a break in the recording.

As far as I know, yes, I use it to record with a Samson USB mic through Garageband. You might have a power draw issue where you'll need to use a powered USB hub for the mic, but that isn't always the case.

Yes. That is the only way I've used Mics for over 20 years. I prefer to use it through a Mixer console which gives me greater range of sound in terms of Bass, Treble, Mids, and gain.

Honestly the suck. I hooked it up to my sound system it lasted about a month before my records didnt sound right. Your better off getting a older used one. If you wanna record on your computer get audacity or soundwave and a rca to 3.5mm cord and plug in the the mic port.

Are you trying to record your voice to a prerecorded karaoke? Or you already recorded instruments and now wanna record vocal?
