I have a really loud computer. Will this microphone pick that up?

If your stomach is growling, it will pick it up. I don't eat anything before I record.

It picks up a lot of background noise sometimes. Its really sensitive. It is a directional microphone, so its designed to pick up sounds from what's in front of it, if you set it up right in front of your desktop or keyboard, facing you, it won't pick up sounds behind it as much as if you were to turn the mic off the the sideways or something, if that makes sense? So there are ways to avoid it picking up unnecessary background noises.

I have a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

It shouldn't unless you put it I front of the mic, play with positions of the mic, and your levels

Yes. And its best that way. The fewer connections between your mic and PC; the cleaner the audio.

You may want to check your settings on your PC. I had the same problem. Go to the Control Panel, double-click the "Sound" icon. Go to the Recording tab. If you see a green check on "Microphone," your PC can detect the microphone. Then you just select it and click "Properties." Select the Levels tab and I increased the Microphone and Microphone Boost Levels to the max.

Yes unless your input say a computer is turned up louder than they can compensate for. Over all great eq. For the price.

Yes but I'm not sure how loud it would be. Computer has a really good sound.

It wont. It has 4 connecors, 3 audio, one for the mic and another USB for power. It's for PC only

I don't think the household noise will be a problem, as whatever the mic is aimed at; i.e., yourself, it will pick up the most. The mic is powered through your computer, there is no on/off switch. As soon as it is plugged in, it is on. There are no drivers or software needed.

This microphone will pick up the voices of people talking around the microphone, not just the person speaking directly into it. It picked up too many sounds like page turning when I was recording myself reading text aloud from paper notes. This might work for your setup. However, your question sounds more like a recording module question regarding how many microphone inputs it would have. This is just one microphone. Perhaps you could explain your question a little more? I'd be happy to answer right away.

Yes, it should be able to do that just fine. I usually use it with a headset that has the separate headphone and microphone jacks for ease of use with USB as some computers (usually newer laptops) don't have separate 3.5mm Microphone jacks anymore.

Only if the computer you are using has Phantom power. Most condenser microphones require Phantom power to work. I would recommend purchasing a mixer to use with your computer as the sound quality and recording will be better.

I wouldn't know because I'm only using it in a room. The mic is pretty powerful. You might want to try it and if it doesn't work out you can return it. This company seems really aimed to please. Im really happy with it. I can't complain. Hope this helps!

Fine. Whatever microphone you are going to be using is going to have a far greater effect on the recording quality.

No. You have 2 stereo plugs that fit into the computer. One is for the microphone the other is for audio.

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)

It will pick up sounds only because of the vibrations on the desk, but if you put it on something else or a vibration absorbing object (blanket), no keyboard sounds. I have this mic and when recording gameplay I heard the keyboard. Now I just put a thick blanket my gramma made under it. Hope it helps!

Only if your microphone also has an XLR option. There is only the USB connection to the computer not any for USB microphones

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.
