Does the mic come with any software for recording, or do you have any recommendations on good (easy to use) recording software for PC.

This mic does not come with any recording software. Once you plug it into your USB port and Windows recognizes it, it is ready to go. Sony puts out a decent, non-expensive, easy to use recording software package called "Sound Forge."

The mic does not come with any software, however, the DAW I recommend would be MIXCRAFT 6 recording and editing platform. It is inexpensive and easy to learn.

Its been a while since I purchased this great mic but I don't remember any additional software coming with the unit. I discovered that when I used this microphone I could make speech recognition software like 'Dragon Naturally Speaking' function as advertised. Previously I gave up trying to use the app because it just didn't function properly and was very frustrating. I use 'Gold Wave' for all my sound editing work; I'm pretty sure there's a freeware version, stripped own of course, but I paid the $50 for the license to use the 'full boat' version. Its extremely versatile and doesn't really have much of a learning curve for its basic functions.

The mic itself doesn't come with any software. It's plug-n-play to the bone. But that's ok, because you can download Audacity for free for PC and Macs. Really powerful software, simple to learn, and like I said... FREE!

No software included. I recommend Adobe Audition, but if you're looking for a free alternative, Audacity comes with high praise.

I wont say yes, the software is basic.. and what your asking for is not impossiable. The Mic is very good, and since it's uSB, if you were to fill all your USB ports, I don't see why not.

No. The simplest and best recording software (free) is audacity. Easy to use and works with this hardware

No but I recommend Audacity, it is a free audio recording program that works great with this microphone!

You need something that supplies the mic with Phantom Power and connects to your PC via USB. I would use something like a "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with gain". Then, you need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you require and an internet connection that can broadcast (upload) the amount of kbps you are wanting to send. Good Luck and happy recording!

I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and record using software like Audacity. I presume you could plug it into any recording device with a microphone jack.

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers. First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.

I downloaded the trial to USB Audio Recorder Pro and it does indeed work with the mic HOWEVER you can only use the mic with this specific app... :'( Has anyone else figured this out?

Well, this has really good built-in microphones. So, if you don't have a good mic to record with for the computer, then that is one major pro. Otherwise, this is a field recorder, so it is made to be taken to record audio on location or portably.

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

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

Are you talking about midi? It has midi ports. Also if you have an input/output cable you can record into the PC.

The software automatically loaded when I plugged the cable attached to my mic. The next time I used it, I went to my recording program, which for me is Audacity, and was able to record immediately. My operating system is Windows7.

Hey Jonathan, this is an awesome mic. No recorder needed. But if your recording from far away a recorder would be best. I do a lot of interviews with mine and it works great.

I have been using REW with this mic. The software is free from home theater shack and is a great tool to measure speakers and look at the measured acoustics of a room. Hope that helps
