Can I record my mic audio directly to a USB?

Yes, it appears as a USB sound device, just select that as the input in your recording software.

With this, you can use a mic that has an xlr port by simply inserting the Blue Icicle to the microphone. Once that is done you just plug in the usb cable into your PC, let it install, and if needed; setup with the program you wish to use.After that you should be good. Hope this answers your question. Unless you mean record audio to a USB thumb drive, then I doubt it.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

You can plug directly into the preamp (using xlr cable). I plug the mic into an Event preamp, and the preamp into the recorder. Very simple.

The mic doesn't come with a usb cable, It takes an XLR cable but doesn't ship with one of those either.

The mic has a standard male jack. The cable is not included. As far as going to usb...I believe you would need a converter/adapter. There are mics designed to be plugged into a usb input.

I just got one and connected to my laptop with the USB cable that I already had. I was able to see the recorded files as .wav and was able to copy it without any problems to my laptop hard drive.

Just in case you haven't noticed, there is a USB version of this microphone. Here is the link: Audio-Technica AT2020USB PLUS Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone Good luck.

No, it will not work directly. You need a splitter if you want both audio and mic.

No sir this is an XLR mic not a USB mic. It does come with an XLR cable which you'd plug into an interface.

might be cheaper buying a usb turntable... http://www.amazon.com/Ion-TTUSB-Turntable-USB-Record/dp/B000BUEMOO

Candy, No. It doesn't connect directly to your computer. It uses a standard XLR type connector and requires a mixer. I would suggest this low cost USB mic: http://goo.gl/A52TfW I have two and I love them. They can use USB/direct to computer AND XLR direct to a mixer. Very high quality for the money.

No, it won't. A USB mic is to plug into your PC. You will plug a mic with a balanced XLR connector into this, or really any mixer. The USB functionality of this is to interchange signals between the mixer and the PC, it doesn't actually have a USB input for a signal like a mic.

Absolutely can you do that! Plugging straight into the Line-in (or mic) socket is how I first recorded my guitar. Do this for some time and you will realise two things: 1, there is background noise or buzzing leaking into the sound and 2, you lose some of the full guitar sound. The USB guitar Link removes noise (because the sound is converted to digital) and allows more guitar sound to the recording stage. There are much better ones than this but this is the best and cheapest starting point.

I have yet to get the Audacity software to work as instructed with Windows 7. It will not let me designate "USB Audio Device" as the "recording device." Does not list it as an option.

Any usb interface with xlr inputs will work. You want to use an xlr cable to connect the mic to the interface. As far as brands go, i use Focusrite but any interface you can afford should do the trick

You need a audio interface for that check the link Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Audio Interface
