Am I able to plug in a condenser microphone such as the Sony ECM-DS70 to record my band's live shows?

No as you can see from the hi detail images I up'd there are no mic jacks as mentioned.

Never tried it but you should be able to, most recording software will recognise the input so you shouldn't have a problem. You can plug the other end of the 1/4 into the mix port and you should be able to use both mics.

I purchased the Sony condenser Mic which works as described..hope this helps

Yes you can. Get one that has an audio plug that matches the audio out jack on the recorder.

A good mic for performing, not sure about recording. I typically use a condenser mic for recording.

Check and make sure the interface you bought has phantom power (+48v) and that the phantom power is turned on, otherwise your condenser mic will not work

probably:-your mic (assuming you have a condenser mic that needs phantom power?)-xlr mic cable male to female-mic cable with female xlr on one end and an 1/8" male stereo or mono plug (you'll have a mono to stereo issue on the input to your computer but you can most likely fix that in garageband/protools)-you may need a direct box if the signal isn't hot enough for your computer's audio input, if so you'll need a few more cables to be able to rout the direct box inI think that's it?

What you are asking... You can probably already do this with out a special audio interface. Simply enable stereo mix on your existing sound card, and record with Audacity.If you can't enable stereo mix (after searching google, there are a few interfaces that don't support it), you can get Virtual Audio Cable and use that instead.Honestly, if you don't need to connect to high quality microphones and reference near field monitors, there are plenty of less expensive (or even free) solutions.

Here is the information from the operations guide: "This unit has provided special AUX IN jack, through this jack other audio sources can be connected to this unit and be amplified". That sounds (pardon the pun) like it might apply to a supplemental microphone. There is a built-in condenser mic. There are no instructions for recording from an external source.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

You can mic your amp or if it has a direct out u can go directly. Why would you want to ?!?!?

Also, if what you want to do is hook up a studio-quality microphone to your computer (rather than mix several audio inputs in realtime) you're better off with a dedicated mike preamp like the Art Tube Studio and a USB sound card (cheap ones are fine).

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.

No it is not a condenser, it's a dynamic mic, it requires no phantom power, +48V

I suppose you could, but the sound quality would likely poor. This was meant more for voice recording. All the noise that comes with live music would be very distorted.

Two different things but in a nutshell you can use pre-amps for ALL mics including condenser mics. You require phantom power for the Condensers only.

Yes you could...not sure about recording with that type of mic though. Maybe for a small performance or something. But again it would be better to use a studio recording microphone. that dynamic mic you would need the jack for that type of mic.
