Would this record vocal and guitar as cleanly as a Scarlett 2i2? I can't decide which to get. It would be nice to DJ in the future tho with this.

I use this for podcasting and so far there are no issues. Clean with no hum. But honestly I don't play any instruments through it.

I don't know why you'd want to use a modeling DI for acoustic guitars with a vocal mic. I'd use something like this DI from Behringer: BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI DI100Or simply get a 2nd, Lo-Z mic for those occasions such as this excellent unit from Behringer: Behringer XM8500 Dynamic Cardioid Vocal MicrophoneI own or have used both of these items with excellent results.

I record with protools, and Master with sound forge.. But I find myself recording almost everything I do live, with this.. Set the limiter to auto... Absolutely never clips or crackles.. then upload to computer and edit with a Mastering program.. All the Frequencies are there... It records great bass, mids, and trebles.. if you know how to eq and bring them out with plug ins.. I owned and used it for a year before I realized (not spreading the mics open / AB ) actually records better,, More similar tracks and easy to mix... I can rip down, chop, mix a complete band practice, and burn it on a CD in about an hour... Batteries Last Forever also... BEST VALUE HERE... I record with protools, and Master with sound forge..

Dear Mike, you can record mixed tracks through USB or REC out available, if you were asking about guitar effects, not vocals then you should look for other mixers as well. This is a great mixer for music + vocals and produces great real time sound. I haven't experimented to record separate or isolated tracks along with mixed or live mixed sound. I may need some time to think and experiment on it. Still if you feel that you can elaborate your question, please do it, it may help me think further.

No, this mic all round is no good. It's not worth the LONG wait either. I highly suggest looking for a different microphone. I beat box a lot and wanted a mic so I got this, Audio-Technica ATR-1300 Unidirectional Dynamic Vocal/Instrument Microphone It is a really decent microphone, and I haven't had a single problem with it.

The unit is designed for line or Mic level processing so you may lose a little high end if you don't run a direct box front of it... with that being said i have run a guitar directly into it and out to a USB XLR link for recording and had good results.

I use this entirely for instrumental (guitar) amplification, but with two channels, it allows vocals along with the instrument. It's certainly powerful enough to blend with an instrumental quartet, but whether you like the quality of output without further pre-amp manipulation is another matter. Your satisfaction would likely depend on choice of mic and pre-amp. I bought it for acoustic guitar and am very pleased.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

Yes it's a great mic. I used it with the Scarlett 18i20. Also with a mackie mixer to outboard beheringer compressor.

I have ableton and cubase and it works almost seamlessly with them. The only negative criticism is of myself for not getting the 4i4 or better because of the lack of the midi-in on the 2i2 ( the higher input models have midi ins). But that oversight wasy own because I said,'I'll never need it....' And behold, my keyboard without midi-control capability because I didn't spend the few extra. But the quality is stellar. If they continue to make these this well I will continue to buy them! -Ck

Not sure why you would want to do that. There are many settings on your mixer and recording software. Did you use a pre-amp? This microphone is designed to compress vocals, but you can adjust how much compression by the settings on the fornt of the microphone. I used the neutral setting ( - ) and zero ( 0 ) for all my clean vocals, my screams, and my harmonies. You can check out what my band Soundstill recorded by visiting www.soundstillband.com and listen to all songs from album "Before The Sunset Ends". Thanks!

Yes! You can record vocals and it also has Phantom power. How ever I only use it for electric guitar.

what kind of "speakers" ? active or passive(they have a 1/4 entry or XLR? )neither way i would recommend this bundle get a real mixer (MACKIE, even PEAVEY)or an audio interface (i am really pleased with steinberg ur series)

I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system). The microphone stays true and clean no matter how loud I get; it's sensitive enough to pick up softer tones when used. What you use it for will dictate what size amp to utilize, because the mic itself won't distort or adulterate what it picks up without external interference. If you run it through an 8 watt amplifier and use it for full force growling or screaming (my version of these vocals anyway), the truth to your efforts won't carry as well as perhaps a 100 Watt. You just have to decide how loud you would like to be and purchase accordingly.

It has some nice features for small situations like you're describing. Also does nicely as a mixer for a starter studio. This model may fit your budget, but I'd also look at the 14ZED60FX. 4 XLR inputs may seem like a lot. On my first outing with this I used every XLR, and I was sure 4 was *more* than I needed. This is a terrific mixer - lots of features and intentional quality.

The Beta 58 is great for recording instruments as well as a great mic for vocals. Nice smooth frequency response.

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps
