Can you use the mic for recording? I like to do song covers and the laptop mic doesn't help with making my voice clear.

yes it can be used for that it is very clear because when I call people from the internet they said I sound like I am right there in the room with them.

I use the mic close by also, and when I play back through my external speakers (or even the speakers built into the laptop), I have not had any feedback. This really is the best mic I've found out there. Hope this helps!!!

I would like to have a mic setup where two of us can be in this end at the same time. Most mics are either with a headset, so wouldn't work for two people, or built in to the camera. The problem with that is it is really close to the speakers so I am concerned about feedback/distortion.

As others have said, you can't use the amplifier to mix sources, however if the intent is to do a karaoke-type thing you should be able to connect the wireless mic to the laptop and the laptop to the amplifier. I suspect there is software to do what you are trying to do.Another possible alternative would be to put 2 zones in the same room with 2 sets of speakers, one with the laptop, the other the microphone. as others have said you would want to make sure the mic reciever had line level output. The advantage would be controlling the mic and laptop volume independantly from the control panels.

It would, yes, but it wont work. They are both outbputs (The keyboard and headphone jack) I think what you want to get is an audio interface like this....http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-BEH-UM2-LIST. You want to play your keyboard through the laptop right? With the interface you can also record.

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

You need 'line level' not 'mic level' inputs on the PC, otherwise the signal will be way too strong and, thus, distorted (mic output is much lower than line output). Most basic PCs, especially laptops, have 'mic in' and not 'line in' (the laptop I'm typing this on right now doesn't even have a 'mic in'). If you have a soundcard with 'line in' inputs, then you could do it. Having said all that, it might be possible to adjust the signal with Audacity using 'mic in', so that it doesn't distort, but I am guessing. I just know from using Cakewalk (precursor to Sonar) in the old days that it didn't work like that. You could try it and report back on your experience, good or bad.

From my experience with any kind of Mic, trying to record clear sound at a concert is damn near impossible. I've occasionally used the Mic to record movies played in class that were louder than the lecture overall and it still came out Crystal clear. I'm not sure of the quality with concert music though. Definitely use that black puffy protector that the product comes in. It'll filter out some of the noise. Sorry that I'm not much help.

Not directly. You would need an adapter or interface to plug this XLR mic into your laptop. This is a "professional " mic. If you only need something for the laptop, get something designed for that purpose.

If your laptop has a mic in plug (most do) you should be able to use your Sony mic. The problem is Windows does not come with a good recording program. You need a program like Goldwave or WavePad to record and then to tweak and edit the sound afterwards. Basically, this recorder is a small computer. Your laptop or Mac should be fine. Keep in mind that the better quality microphone you use, the better the recording will be. You might also consider a small mic mixer, if you want to have multiple microphones.

Yes the shielding on it sucks I don't use the mic any more. You can try and use a better XLR for it it helps a little

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 did a little bit of tweeking on the windows microphone settings and it works on my laptop and It uses a combo headphone/mic jack. Obviously i dont know what you are using, but if you get a splitter that splits the cable to a mic and headphone then it should work

This is only a mic. It plugs by USB into your computer and how you record and play back is up to the software you decide to use. If you are wanting to use it as a PA type mic, I don't think it would work frtha unless you have a speaker that has a USB plug or a interface that would support that...

Hi, how can you plug the mixer into the laptop? I don't recommend the sound card onboard to record because maybe you experiment some latency when you record. The laptop is ok, but you need to buy adicional parts to optimize the latency, one of those is an external sound card and also one ssd disk to replace the default hard disk. For record i recommend a m-audio card, good luck!
