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

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

It works with Windows XP so there is no conceivable reason it will not work with Windows 8. I use Audacity, the free Open Source sound editing software. It's great.

I don't know if it works with Windows 8 - I'm sure it would though. We just use Audacity, or sometimes the default Sound Recorder that's pre-loaded on Windows 7. You can get Audacity for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Yes. I have used it on a Windows 8 machine last week. I downloaded the latest version of Audacity from SourceForge.net and plugged in the device.

The software automatically loaded when I plugged the cable attached to my mic. The next time I used it, I went to my recording program, which for me is Audacity, and was able to record immediately. My operating system is Windows7.

You should, provided the connections are right. The microphone can be positioned directly in front of one's mouth, so clarity can be assured. Keep in mind that with almost any speech recognition system there will be a learning period both on your part and the machine's part. Since it works with my Dragon(r) speech-ware, it should work with Win 8 just fine.

It depends more on your OS than your DAW...on win 7 it should work fine, probably on 8 too. Just remember to set it as your default recording and playback card on your pc and it should hook up no problem.

It has nothing to do with Windows. This mic plugs into a preamp or audio interface. You should find out if the audio interface is Win 8 compatible. I will say though, think about moving to a Mac pc for audio production. Win 8 is not designed for multitracking.

I have an iMac and use it to record narrations. Not sure about Windows, but I bet it does as long as you have USB.

Mine installed on Windows 8 better than Windows 7! Supposedly it works for doing record albums -- only I haven't figured out how!

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

I have never used it with Windows 8. Acoustica says it will, based on their track record i wouldn't see a problem with it.

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

This voice recorder does not seem to work very well with those Windows versions beyond XP. It did not work with Vista (at least when I tried to use it, a long while ago), and it may not work with Windows 8.

I am not sure about windows 8 compatability. I have not found the software with this unit to be very friendly toward any mircosoft operating system. I am currently running mine with Windows 7 and it is doing ok but I have ocassional problems. The sound quality is great, however, when things are operating correctly.

i am sure it will work with windows 8. We have returned all units and are no longer selling these as we've done our testing and don't think this product is as great as it seems. Flaws with USB the MIC has given us crackles and there is lack of bass in the headphones. Don't recommend buying this box.

No but I recommend Audacity, it is a free audio recording program that works great with this microphone!
