You might want to invest in a USB mixing board. Then you plug your mic into this unit, plug the output into the mixing board and then connect the mixing board to your computer.

Bernadette, I don't have this particular item, but own TC Electronics VoiceLive Touch Vocal Effects Processor and plug my iphone/ipod into it, connect to an amp, connect the TC Electronics Vocal Microphone MP-75 Dynamic Microphone, Super-Cardiod to it and sing along with my own tunes. My friends and I have a blast with the different voice settings. I am no pro by any means, this was all in the name of having fun. Have not tried connecting my computer yet, to try and access my itunes account. Initially, I was looking for something for my computer, but stumbled onto this and have no regrets.

It's not a USB mic and therefore you need a standard mic cable. This you run into a preamp OR some device that WOULD spit out a USB signal on the other end. It may be cheaper to get some converter like that but if your sound card takes a mic cable, you're set. Most don't. Since you do have USB (I assume) i'd look for a converter device.

It can be hooked up to a amplifier (speaker). You will need to purchase a microphone cord. That cord's connector will fit right into the speaker. It will not plug in to a computer unless you buy some kind of converter for the connector. Good luck with your singing! I sing too. :Dyou can get a cord at Guitar Center or other music store...and a converter at Radio Shack.

If I read your question correctly, your mic will be connected to your mixer and will feed audio to your computer via the provided USB cable. You can then feed audio to your receiver by plugging a connecting cable (not provided) from your receiver to the Behringer mixer (Main out or Control Room out). The existing audio on your computer (music?) will also be fed via the Behringer mixer. Unless you have some software that I'm not aware of, I don't think your mic will feed your receiver via the HDMI cable. You can, of course, record your mic audio and play it back just the way you are presently doing it.

Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board. As far as cables, you can find 1/4" to USB adapters pretty inexpensively, as well as 1/4" to 1/8" (computer/headphone size plug). Either one of those should enable you to record a single instrument with Garageband. If you're looking to record frequently, or record more than one instrument, I would look into a interface, like the ones offered by M-Audio or Presonus (just search Amazon for "m audio interface"). With an interface, you would just need another 1/4" cable to run from the line out to the interface. Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board.

I agree with Robert, just want to add that for inputting to a PC, your PC needs an audio line-in port. A mic port will not do. If your PC doesn't have a line-in port, then you can use audio line-in to USB adapter and input to the PC via a USB port. I use a Griffin 7725 IUAI - this lets me input an analog audio signal from my amp to my PC's USB port.

The usb will give you the output into your computer with recording software. You don't have to have the audio outputs run into your computer to record, it comes in on the usb. On whatever recording software you are using it should show up in the input/routing section or menu. You can do what you are asking with a 2x1/4" to 1/8" Y-cable or a 2xXLR to 1/8" Y-cable but there is also a headphone output so you can use a 1/8" to 1/8" instead if you wanted to record that way.

You can get a midi to usb cable to do the trick. I have a TASCAM unit that I run my keyboard and mic thru though, because my mic needs phantom power. It came with the cable needed to connect to the PC. The biggest difference would be the price and what, if any other needs you may have.

It is not set up to do that. The audio input is through the speaker output of the computer, but there is no audio output on the speaker itself. There is a USB port in the speaker, so there may be some way to connect through that, but I wouldn't know how to do that.

u can plug a 1/4 inch high impedance mic into it, but only has one input, and alot of stuff for guitar, not vocals

There is one input jack in front as seen in the picture. There's a pre amp out jack in back. You could use a microphone but can only input one device at a time. Not a great amp for vocals though it may do the trick for using a blues harp through the mic.

Absolutely can you do that! Plugging straight into the Line-in (or mic) socket is how I first recorded my guitar. Do this for some time and you will realise two things: 1, there is background noise or buzzing leaking into the sound and 2, you lose some of the full guitar sound. The USB guitar Link removes noise (because the sound is converted to digital) and allows more guitar sound to the recording stage. There are much better ones than this but this is the best and cheapest starting point.

There are two main ways to connect your instruments to your PC to access the software; one is to buy an audio interface; this is a very basic setup in which you can plug a guitar or instrument into the interface which then sends the data via USB to your software; you also monitor output through the interface. The second way, this is how I do it, is to buy a small mixer which has what is referred to as a "control room" section; this allows you to hook instruments, mics etc to the mixer, feed them into the computer through the PC's line in jack, and monitor the output without creating a feedback loop; I like it best because you don't have to worry about that awful latency problem, the delay between playing and hearing what you played... with this setup you can hook up as many instruments as there are inputs on the mixer; if you play keyboards at all, consider buying a midi controller keyboard, these usually require only a single USB cable to send the signal in and power the keyboard itself, and Mixcraft6 recognized my old midi controller without my having to reinstall the drivers, which was excellent... hope this wasn't too wordy to understand; bottom line, I think buying a mixer is your best bet; you can use headphones or hook it up to a stereo system and listen through speakers.

If you want to go direct into the computer you'll get better results w/ a USB mic. Otherwise, as others have noted, you will need both adapters and some sort of pre-amplification. For the price of all that you can get a good USB mic that will go direct into the computer.

Candy, No. It doesn't connect directly to your computer. It uses a standard XLR type connector and requires a mixer. I would suggest this low cost USB mic: http://goo.gl/A52TfW I have two and I love them. They can use USB/direct to computer AND XLR direct to a mixer. Very high quality for the money.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you
