Can this be used as a USB mic? I prefer a lavalier so I don't have to worry about facing the mic all the time while recording online lectures.

Yes you can but you need a preamp/XLR adapter like this one Blue Microphones Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp on Amazon. You need preamp and phanom power. The Shure SM93 is awesome. Hope this helps Don

Yes is can. However it is designed for an XLR connection. I recommend a wireless if you like to wander around a stage or lecturn.

Not directly. You need phanton power and an I/O interface. I use mine with a h4n which would get you both power and a usb interface. (The h4n also records away from the computer which can be handy.) You could also get something like Shure's XU2 though I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it.

I don't know -- I have used it exclusively for webinar recordings, which it is spectacular at and sounds better than mics that are 3-6 times the cost.

Yes, it will work fine for this. Remember that MiC is a USB condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern. So when I record conversations I don't put the MiC in the middle of the table. Instead, place it at the side of the table where nobody is behind the microphone. The sound quality is excellent when recorded on iPad or iPhone.

I bought this for my son. He said it's not wireless, so he does not think you can use it as a mike for interviews. He has it on his desk, on a stand.

If you have headphones with a mic, you actually can record with it. Plug the headphones into your iPod nano and an option called "Voice Memos" should appear. It's only really functional if you want to record short reminders and that sort of thing. I wouldn't recommend it for lectures and long recording sessions. I was unable to figure out how to export it to my computer through iTunes.

I suppose it could, but I think a regular microphone would serve better. This device could easily over modulate the recorders circuit, making a horrible recording. It does not enhance the available sound more than any properly adjusted microphone. You would need something more on the order of a parabolic or directional mic for that.

Most likely not. This is more for an in home studio recording. Additionally, the area around the mic that picks up voice rather small, you would need a mic for every 2-3 people.

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

Sorry, this is not a USB mic, so as long as you have an adapter i imagine you can make it as long as you want. But to clarify, this microphone, or at least mine, is not set up with a usb interface.

The question is what is your plug... it has a 3 point microphone standard... and 1/4" jack in one plus you can find an adapter that fits into the 3 point so you can do mini jacks... it also has phantom power... so, I don't think it is a problem. The only problem I have experienced with it is that you cannot "listen in the ear phone" when you are recording which is a feature I really wanted for video as well... it isn't 100% the kind of device you would hope for.

I used it strictly for recording study lessons, and it worked well it is an excellent recorder. you may find what you're looking for at Tmart, and they're having a big sale right now on voice recorders/mp3.

This microphone would work perfectly fine for that. What you will want to do, however, is download a free program called Audacity. Audacity will let you record your voice through the mic, and will allow you to export the audio file with any name into a massive variety of formats from .mp3 to WAV file types once you have recorded what you want.

Should be able to. As the mic in works also as a line in and you can record "what you hear" with the omni (or any creative SC for that matter). I've used it to record some old casettes and it worked well.

No it won't work for recording. I even used a mic that was not the Livescribe one and it didn't work well at all.

I think it's great for recording a lecture, It's a voice recorder after all. I mostly use it for music/voice solo recordings and short story recordings, and it works well.

I don't know. I have only used it as a speaker's mic for presentations. Works well for that though.
