Yes. I plugged in another and it disabled the one. Also you can select which mic you want via the control panel on a window's computer.

I would suggest an audio interface. Presonus, Apogee, Focusrite, and others make great interfaces that will allow you to hook up the mic to the computer. I would suggest a pop filter with the mic and using phantom power for a condenser mic. Depending on what you want to do, having DAW software will take you one step further.

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 need a XLR to USB adapter, but I don't recommend using this mic for a computer.You are better off with a Blue Yeti mic: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - Silver

Cynthia, your PC should have two mini jacks, one for a mic and the other for a headset. plug it into the mic jack. The next challenge is figuring out how to get it to work. If you are using a MAC, I can't help, but ig you are using a PC running any version of Windows you may have to go to the speaker symbol on the task bar in the far right side on my systems, right click and open recording devices. To record you may want to load Audacity, a free sound audio recording/editor. My mic had a touchy on/off switch, but it works fine now. The Sound controls are also available in the Control Panel. Good luck. I live mine.

On mine you have to have your computer on at all times for recording and a wireless device is plugged into the wall.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

You can plug your mic into most P.C.'s.with out any thing else in line. As for the software: it should tell you what is necessary for every thing to work correctly.

In PC-Free mode, you do not need to have it next to a computer, but you'd need to have it close to a device with a USB input for to power the device itself. Also, when in PC-Free mode, you do not have control of the recording options, they are set automatically and cannot be changed. In another attempt to put some distance between my Xbox and my computer, I tried using a USB extension cable but the video quality was very choppy so I decided not to use it. Based on my use, I'd say that if you want full control of your recordings and the best experience possible, you'd be better off keeping it next to the computer.

You don't need to but a shock mount stops the mic from jumping with footsteps or other motions that can appear in the room your recording

You can but it's likely you'll need either an audio interface or mixing board for your mic. If you ready have either connected to your PC you should be fine.

Yes you can. You need microphone installed or you need a camera which has audio recording feature.

No... I don't have it connected to my computer at all times... only when I want to record something of my DVR. But, this means you cannot automatically schedule recordings.
