Is the MX series vocoder capable w/mic or is that something you will need software for?

Can't be positive about this as I don't use vocoder, but there is no "audio mic" input that other synths have for this capability. Best uses this MX49 has - easy portability with the Motif patches (essentially the pianos), and USB connectivity with flash drives. I was able to load performances that I had stored from my "ancient" Roland Fantom X6 onto flash - into the MX's USB - list appears immediately and you can scroll through it.

TheYamaha MX49/61 doesn't have vocoding functionality. I wish it did though! : )

I'm sure you already recieved answers, bit just in case... no, you do not need Cubase. I use it with many other programs. Your mic may need the phantom power switch enabled.

Honestly, i am not sure but if i had to say yes or no i would say no. I could not find anything in the editor that involved voice recording. I use a free program called audacity for my voice recordings. If there is a feature in Movie Studio i would rather use that but i can't find it.

I would have to agree with the previous answers non expandable does not support external mics

I don't know--the quality wasn't very good so I returned it. I suppose I should have written a review. I had bought three different mikes, and the one we liked the best was the MXL AC404 USB Conference Microphone. It's not being used on a PC, though--it is plugging into a Cisco desk phone.

Yeah, totally! You just need a mic obviously and some software. Audacity should work fine, which is free. Just plug this in to a USB port, plug the mic in, set everything up, and hit record.

Yes, you will need a recording program. I use Audicity which is a free program and works great for all my recordings.

You should try looking at the MXL AC404 USB Conference Microphone on Amazon. I think that one would be better for you.

No, not unless you have/buy a USB Microphone that is built for it. And buying the USB converter doesn't work either

The wide range of pickup shouldn't interfere with VR software since anything speaking nearby is quite clear and the mic does a good job of separating background noise from foreground speech. Should work with XP, although I haven't tried it. Honestly I don't see any reason why it wouldn't since it just uses the Microsoft drivers, you don't have to install any software, just plug and play. The mic will pick up as long as the software is asking for it, so if your VR software is always running, then no it won't turn off. As long as it's plugged in and some kind of software that would use it is running, it's listening for you. However if no software is active nothing will happen. Standard for a USB microphone.

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.

This all depends on "YOUR" software.. if your asking can you record audio with the software included? yes it has a line in function, so you will be able to record audio heard by the microphone, watch out for reverb/feedback from your speakers.. This is a micro-phone.. if the person/audio is in the area of you microphone, it will pick them up.. if your asking if the software will tie in SKYPE on another feed/source.. i don't believe so..

I haven't used this for a while. But it will work like a regular microphone. So if you have the right software you can make MP3 as you could with any other microphone. I don't remember if recording software is included in the package.

Hi Ruth, i honestly do not know. i used a program named cakewalk, (Sonar) and this allowed me to record the keyboard, guitar and vocals through an interface named m audio. it was fairly simple to setup and use, but the equipment, all together, was pricey.

Yes. You will need a mic jack converter though. I found one a Radioshack for a really cheap price. You will need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. Also make sure it has two rings on the tip. 3 rings wont work, and the single ring only records on the left channel.

I dont know about this specific device. However if you try to record from another device it won't work. In order for the software to work you most use your voice and a microphone.

No, you just plug it in. You just have make sure that the settings are to the mic after it is plugged in. I used it with Audacity and I just had to mess with the settings a bit to get it connected. No add-ons or anything is needed. Just the mic and the program. Super clear too!
