is this mic good for overlaying harmonies and piano???

This Nady (SP-1) is a pretty decent mic. For the price, its hard to beat. Keep in mind, this is not going to perform like a Shure SM-58. It is, however, a good solid mic that will give you a clean sound with nice highs and a surprisingly good midrange. You should have no problem with harmonies because it does have a pretty nice range and the vocal quality is there. I also think this would work well with a piano, for the same reasons.

Although I like the mic for back-up vocals in live venues, I probably would not use it for recording purposes. I've never used it for mic-ing a piano or other instrument.

Yes the vocals should be fine. We use backing tracks, a guitar or keyboard and vocals in the same type setting and have excellent clarity. I fit hearing aids as an occupation along with running a sound board for our bands big system, so I have had experience with amplifying sound. The only thing that you don't have is an individual equalizer for vocals, but we have not had a problem with that.

Yes it will function well for that purpose but, as others have said, it is an economical entry level mic. If your singing voice is your instrument you will want it to sound its best. As was already suggested, look into investing in the SM58.

Yes, I do it all the time with Cakewalk Music Maker 6. You can use the line in or the mic ports. You may have to do some selecting in your computer's "Recording Devices" and probably in Audacity. Once that's all set you should be good to go. I don't know what kind of piano you have but I have found that on my Concertmate piano (it's Casio based) I have to unplug the AC power and run it on batteries or I will get a faint hum in the recording simply due to the inherent issue with Casio power supplies.

If you want to record separate tracks, you'll either need two mics (in which case you'll probably want dynamic rather than condenser) to record both at the same time, or you'll need to record one track at a time (record the piano, then listen back and record the vocals over or vice versa). Don't know how well this will do for piano, but it's great for vocals. Hardware wise, you'll need some way to convert the mic's XLR output to a digital one (usb or firewire most likely), you can either get a straight converter or a mixer (the m audio mobile pre is a decent choice).

It won't hurt it... Try it. I have plugged in my Yamaha PSR into it with piano, guitar, and other, natural multi-timbrel sounds, and it works. Just make sure the input levels are correct for both instrument and voice. (Actually, in this case, MIDI does not relate since all of the inputs on the TC-Helicon Voicetone-G XT harmonizer has only analog I/O (except for the USB connector for preset control using TC-Helicon's application.)

Yes of course, and it sounds good. I used it with iGrand Piano and Sample tank, and it sounds wonderfull.

I'm guessing you want to hook up a microphone and another audio source like a CD player or iPod at the same time and be able to mix background music in realtime, rather than having to edit a multitrack recording after the fact in GarageBand or similar software? This little mixer will work fine for that purpose. If you are thinking of mixing multiple microphone inputs simultaneously on one recording (several people talking at once), it won't work for that: you'd need a bigger mixer with more than one XLR input jack (as many as you plan to have mikes going at once).

Yes! i bought this mic a few days ago and i love it! i currently have a youtube channel where i use this mic for when i record Let's Plays! you can check out the quality with any of my LP videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg17fGtrmkBBcJYua_ny1tw

I Got This For Band Practice For Me And My Guitar Player To SingThrough The Same Channel The Problem We Had Was My Mic Was All Ways Louder Than Could , But That Could Be The Two Different Mics We Were Using If You Use The Same Condenser Mics It Should Be Fine

I've only used the mic once. I'm not sure because I primarily use this only for music. Sorry I couldn't help.

i would assume that this mic would plug into anything that has a mic input in it. we used it for a karaoke machine. the only hesitation i would have on this, is you need to be really close to the mic to be heard......so i'm not sure a straight stand would be good for a keyboard.

I wouldn't recommend it. Get a large-diaphragm condenser microphone, and look up tutorials on how to mic a piano with such effects. You won't be disappointed.

I think it would work fine, but I don't know if the quality would be as a good as normal musical recording device. So I guess it just depends on what you're using it for.

The Harmony M only has one XLR input, and it will harmonize any single-tone voice you put into it. If you mix three mics onto a single XLR output, then it *may* work. If all three mics are going to have vocals that sing the same pitch always, then your setup would work. If the three mics are going to have vocals that are already harmonizing, then this will not work. It will fight to listen for the dominant voice to base its magic off of, which will output some pretty distorted sounds.

It'll probably do it well, but in my opinion you would have better results using the ORTF (2 mics overhead) setup in addition to the Kick mic.A good and inexpensive ORTF combo: Superlux S502

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.
