I do tarot readings in noisy cafes &amp; record them on phones. I want something that focuses on my voice and diminish the ambient noise. Will this do?

Yes. Not sure about a crowded room, but it does cut down ambient noise. I use mine for VO acting auditions and the quality is just fine. Hope this helps!

You will still be able to hear people around you speaking, although again it will be muffled. You might do better with a pair of music earpieces/headphones designed to cancel ambient noise.

I tried recording from about 12 feet away and it did pick up the sound, but it was at low volume and I recorded in a quiet room. I suspect that in a lecture it would pick up lots of background noise. For your requirement I think you'd be better with a dedicated voice recorder, and perhaps one with a directional microphone.

I think so. the recording is clear and with the right setup in the room it has minimal noise. I've recorded teasers from some of my books with it and they sound fine

I think so. My mother uses it during get-togethers and it does pick up a little background noise but all-in-all I would recommend it to put on the table during a dinner conversation.

I would say yes. I've used it to put in audio after we've recorded our podcast. The quality of mic is great. The first thing to add would definitely be a pop filter. And get nice and close. Would be worth trying out to see if it matches your voice however.

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

Won't make any difference because hissing comes from diffent area like cars, near electronic device wind or people movement The only way to eliminate hissing noise is through video editing and you want better result you needs speech cleaner If you want better result you need to get professional wireless microphone cost $700 or more Good luck

I use the recorder for music practice so my instructor hears what I'm doing and he will correct any mistakes. As in the other comments..This recorder is VERY sensitive and may pick up ANY outside noises. Good Luck..

No but the internal mic is really pretty decent, we use these on paranormal investigations and they work pretty good. I suppose it would depend on what kinda videos your gonna make. If it is relatively no background noise would be clear and with some would be distorted

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

I've taken this into a data center and it works pretty well for the person on the other end, it just eliminates ambient noise so anything that isn't your voice is usually washed out.

In my experience, if you can hear it, this will pick it up. I've set it in one end of my house and walked in a room at the other end and I could still play myself back talking. Since even in large classes, the students are generally quiet you should have no problem. I use in in class. If you hear a lot of backnoise, put the mic sensitivity on low. I'm extremely pleased with it.

JasonI like your approach and believe it will work very well as you describe. I agree the last thing one wants is to mess up the other music or instruments signals. Remember to first do what you can avoid microphone feedback. This unit can mess up you voice signal as well. We like our FBQ1000 and use it on every gig.

I used this to pick up vocals however it was pretty good at picking up ambient noise pretty well. I would say it would depend on how close you play the instrument to the microphone. Over all I say it's worth a shot, a condenser mic (which is used for professional studio recording) can go up in price and if you're not that worried about super crisp quality I would definitely pick this up.

I have a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

I was told I sound quite loud. Used it for a phone call. No one had problems hearing me, but I would not use it for recording.
