I've been using it for a few months now. It's MUCH better suited to instruments than voice. I bought it to record my radio show and podcast, but it picks up so much ambient noise, it's just not meant for it. But it's good quality for music.

I've only tried a little bit of recording with it (for testing), but the quality when I played back the recording I made with it was good enough that my Dad thought I was just singing the same line over again. I can't say for sure that it is as good as a $100+ microphone, but I am pleased with the quality so far, and I'd be surprised if there is anything much better.I should note, however, that I have not yet tested it with multiple singers and instruments.

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.

This is a standard stage ready dynamic microphone, it is not appropriate for recording podcasts or vocals directly to a digital recorder unless some type of digital interface is used first. For that purpose at very affordable prices, I would recommend the MXL 990 USB condensor microphone or using something like the PreSonus AudioBox USB Recording Interface.

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"

I think it's great for recording a lecture, It's a voice recorder after all. I mostly use it for music/voice solo recordings and short story recordings, and it works well.

No it won't work for recording. I even used a mic that was not the Livescribe one and it didn't work well at all.

This microphone will pick up the voices of people talking around the microphone, not just the person speaking directly into it. It picked up too many sounds like page turning when I was recording myself reading text aloud from paper notes. This might work for your setup. However, your question sounds more like a recording module question regarding how many microphone inputs it would have. This is just one microphone. Perhaps you could explain your question a little more? I'd be happy to answer right away.

This was a great microphone for that. Unfortunately for me the plug end which snaps into the iphone fell apart in about a month of use and although Edutige support answered quickly, things died and I never received the RMA to replace. If you buy, I believe you will be happy with the experience, especially if it stays together. Good luck.

The microphones worked for me but recording is not good quality. I don't recommend this machine. Acesonic BDK 2000 is better.

It really depends on what computer you have, what you're using to get your mics into the computer, etc. It also really depends on what you're recording and what it's for. It all depends on the situation really. I know when it comes to doing film and on-set dialogue I definitely want to use the recorder. It's portable, lightweight, and it's basically direct input from the mic. When it comes to most everything else though: instruments, vocals, voice overs, etc. then I'd go with the computer. I like being able to see the waveform, which you can't do on the DR-40. You can see when it clips and then general level but not the waveform. It really depends on the situation as I said. For instrument and vocal recording, get a mixer and run everything into the computer, recording with Pro Tools or Audition. I'd say this device is most optimized for film work. It's great for getting mics into a pocket recording device. It's portable and easy and lightweight. Without the mics it is also really good for getting spacious sound environments.

The microphones can provide good quality to your purpose but I will recommend to make some test before in your microphone settings (levels) and the right distance from the mouth , not breathing to the microphone your results will be good with this or any other microphone

Never really played Trumpet and Sax but I record Acoustic Guitar with it pretty often and I love the results. It is a very good microphone.

I've tried different microphones for home studio recording I do not recommend a shotgun mic for music. But if you are using the mic for just voice recording it could be a nice option. For my camera recording I use the SG 108 and it's pretty good for the price. So in my opinion it should be a good buy.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

Yes it is a very sensitive mic. It is so sensitive that it will capture the sounds of the cars and motorcycles that drive by my house when I record, or when my air conditioning unit is on, or the hum of a speaker, or the flush of a toilet from across the house even through closed doors. However you do not have to have a pro soundproof room to record. Just make sure that as much ambient noise as possible is reduced and whatever extra noise is left over in the recording will not be noticeable if other tracks are introduced in the song. It also depends on what purpose you're using the mic for. Straight voice recording, like podcasting? vocals with midi tracks? If it's podcasting than it's not really a big deal if theres ambient noise and might sound eerie if it is ONLY your voice, while a little ambient noise is able to be covered up with other tracks, if you're using it for music production. In either case, this mic is probably the highest quality for the lowest price you'll ever find. And don't be fooled at that either, this would be a perfectly acceptable mic to have in a professional recording studio.
