2 mics in, USB into Comp. Will the single line show as an audio device in Skype or do I need software for Skype to recognize the interface?

Depending on OS, you would need to select audio source. Skype has Audio settings where you can select where audio is coming from and where it is going to. Both MacOs and Windows recognize this mixer perfectly fine.

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

No it will not work, because you only can dedicate one USB connection as your default playback device. But you can do what you want with only one unit by using a microphone splitter to attach to the (RED) hole and connect the other end to the two microphones. You can use a splitter like " RLCAB095 - Stereo Audio Input Splitter". Google it.

Sure. Just remember that it is a battery powered mic and you'll need to use the Mic-In port on your computer audio interface or set the audio control software (if available) to treat whatever line-in you're using as a mic level input.

I agree with the first person who answered your question. And, yes, you do need an interface (which changes the analog signal of your mic into a digital signal for your computer). I use the Lexicon Alpha...it's cheaper than the Scarlett and does the job; however, it does NOT have phantom power (which your mic needs), but if you're going to get the DBX 286s (which is fantastic preamp/processor, by the way), then that problem will be taken care of. If you decide not to get the dbx unit, then the Scarlett 2i4 interface is the way to go.

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.

I haven't tried using one for Skype, but I would imagine if you could set the microphone to be an output as well as input it could work. I would check YouTube first before trying though.

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 am not sure, but I believe you can select the microphone you want to use via Skype 'Options'., making the mike on the headset the preferred microphone the programme uses.

Sorry for the delay--I had to do some testing to answer this question. As I thought, this is dependent on the operating system and your choice in recording software. I tested this on Windows 7 and I was able to use 2 USB microphones as recording devices. Both mic's were recognized. So far so good. I then tried recording using Audacity and I could NOT get Audacity to record with both mics, recording was with one or the other. Then I tried using Cakewalk--it was able to recognize 2 microphones and I could record from both--basically I had 2 tracks that recorded the voice from 2 different people using 2 different microphones. So the answer is yes but it depends on your OS and recording software. Sorry for the delay--I had to do some testing to answer this question.

These are designed for a PC so it would use 2 plugs. What is your use that you can't use both or want to combine them? Are you using the mic?

It works with standard windows drivers, so you don't need software to use it with Skype. If you want to record then you will need to get some kind of recording software. Recording length will depend on the software you get.

once you have it set up on your computer and it's a recognized device.. the answer is yes. no problem. You will need an application that will be able to record what you say. for example recorder on windows can do this just fine. Just remember to speak clearly into the microphone. or you will get lots of errors. good luck and have fun. it's a nice microphone. I got it for my Mom so we can use skype to talk on for free.

Nope. This cable only splits one audio out into two. Maybe it's possible to use this on a mic plug, but both plugs would only input audio. If your computer does not have separate Mic jack, then what you probably need is a USB Mic. Sorry :P

There is no MIC input on this unit, one may find a way to connect USB sound device (which offers Mic input) to the existing USB port but that will be a long shot.

I've only used this with Skype. I just plugged it in and then went into the video settings in Skype and selected the camera. Worked fine.When I've used this for meetings, my team requested that I use a headset for audio instead of the camera, as the sound is much clearer that using the camera mic.

Yes, it's a perfect interface for that. Just make sure you set the input preferences in whatever recording program you use, to the M Audio, instead of the internal mic. Good luck !
