Would this mic be good for a singer-songwriter writing/recording acoustic music?

No, this mic all round is no good. It's not worth the LONG wait either. I highly suggest looking for a different microphone. I beat box a lot and wanted a mic so I got this, Audio-Technica ATR-1300 Unidirectional Dynamic Vocal/Instrument Microphone It is a really decent microphone, and I haven't had a single problem with it.

The answer is yes. This is a versatile mic. I have used it in both small and large venues. It's also good for some recording applications. Best bang for the buck as far as I'm concerned.

I think it works quite well for singers. In fact, our band's singer used this exclusively for quite awhile. We even used it at some small venues (bars) with no problems. It has a built-in EQ to get the right vocal tone and many of the effects are intended for vocal use as well. The unit has several inputs, so it would probably be great for a singer/songwriter type that wants to perform with an amplified instrument like a guitar or keyboard. The first input is intended for a dynamic mic and has an XLR input. The others are quarter inch.

This is an XLR dynamic mic with no phantom power. Unless you are right no top of it, it needs a mic preAmp. The quality is good for an inexpensive mic, but not on par with a professional vocal performance mic like a Shure SM58. If you want to use it to record into a USB hub, your connection would probably look like this: Mic > preAmp > mixer > DA/Converter-USB > PC. The preAmp is optional but probably a good idea.

This is a okay mike for live performances. It is a cheap version of the SM 58 which cost about $100.00. It is probably not the best mike for recording or other applications that require high quality. I suppose it depends on what you are podcasting. If you are streaming a live band you could use these for the vocals. It really depends on what you are using it for. I use mine for vocals at practice for live performances. I hope this helps.

Well, what I can tell you for sure concerning this device it that you won't sound like a phone recording. But what also is a factor invole when it comes to any type of recording is the equipment itself. The mic system can be top of the line but your actual recording device or system is not, then you yet are not going to get the best qoulity sound. Not saying you have to go broke to get a perfect sound. Just know that the mic along can't give you perfect sound results alone, with that system there you will notice a different in your sound recording. I hope that help some without getting too technical. ""Let's Make It A Hit Studio"

This is not intended to be a professional quality mic. The AT2020-USB+ would be a much better choice.

I can't speak to which would be better for singing but this mic works amazingly for recording speech. I did record a friend singing and playing guitar from it and it sounded pretty good, considering I had it halfway across the room. As for Windows 8, I have no problems with 7, 8 or 8.1.

Yes. My husband is a trained sound engineer and musician, and I am a piano/vocalist. We are more than happy with this mic... would be perfect for voice over, or any need for quality recording. Try it! :)

Yes definitely. The mic is good enough for calling, recording or whatever really. If you need a better recording mic, you could always swap out the aux cable for something else.

I use this mic for filming with the h4n, it has worked well for me but I have never tested it with music performances. From my experience with it in the film world it is great for the price and should work well in an acoustic performance, if the h4 is set to the right levels.

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.

Not designed for it, but (technically) you could plug into the mic port and get sound... and with an acoustic guitar the results might be acceptable. An electric guitar would probably be a disappointment... do to issues with gain, dynamic range and the lack of guitar centric tone controls.

yes it will..i use this to record my vocals..i would rather have one with a betyer pre-amp but on a budget it gets the job done just fine

This is a studio grade mic, and was used on the show Nashville in one of their scenes. If it's good enough for that, and the voice over work I have used it for it will probably good enough for dragon...

no...This is good for a single acoustic guitar and a single mic in a smaller venue...actually it is most excellent for that. Any more than that, this not what you are looking for. I like to run it on stage as sort of my personal monitor and run the "record/output" to the PA for the mix. I am considering adding the Bose Tone Match mixer and a second L1 for a coffeehouse type duet. The single L1 does much better when it is out in front of you pointing back towards you.
