Can you record multiple voices, as in a discussion group?

Generally speaking yes of course. The variables you need to consider are the size of the room and distance from the microphone of each participant. Assuming you use the built in microphone in a reasonably quiet environment, you will pick up voices very clearly from several feet away. If you use a high quality omni directional microphone, you will do even better. It is really designed to work at close distances. But if a small group in a quiet room, it will have almost no trouble. There will certainly be some noticeable variation in volume if some are much far the from the mic, but in the center of a circular table it should be fine. Generally speaking yes of course.

Yes. I bought it to record music at group lessons. I also have a Zoom H4n. The Sony is far easier to use. It's more intuitive.

I would assume so, as my PCM-M10 will record all sound that can be heard by the human ear and also, is sensitive enough to record sound that is not heard by the human ear, in other words, the recorder has a long reach and is very sensitive.

Yes, it should work fine for that for one or two people. If you're trying to record a group, this mic won't be sensitive enough.

Scott, there are 2 condenser mics and 2 inputs, you can record all at the same time, but it will be stereo for that recording (mics as left and inputs as the right channel - you can set up for four track recording and record each tracknsepetately like any other multi track - the real magic of this device is the ability to record the whole room and off the board at the same time, and the compact size. The software is cumbersome, and the "new" file set up is missing ( which sucks if you want to cut up your files live because starting a new file isn't set up properly) my only negative - that being said, it's a great littl idea catcher and the quality is very good.

Yes you can or will have to change one to the next frequency, two same microphone with the same frequency would not work.

To mix 4 or 8 or really any number of mics into one channel you will need a splitter to go from 1 to 4 (or how ever many you need). You may have to get two 1 to 4 and one one to 2 to mix 8 together. Or you get a mixing device which will be more expensive. Now of course if you do this the one channel that is recording is going to have all audio channels recording at the same time so if you have sound on all channels it will be hard to isolate one specific channel to listen to. You really want a separate recording channel for each mic unless you know you will never have audio on more than one mic at a time.

Honestly, a lot depends on how quiet the participants are. The mic is relatively sensitive, so if there are a lot of side conversations, the other party may have some trouble hearing those on your end. I felt like the speaker was plenty loud, though. Unfortunately there is no way to add additional mics to the unit.

Yes, you can. You can record one or two tracks simultaneously, while the remaining tracks are playing back.

You can plug two microphones into the transmitter, but the second mic would be tethered to the transmitter. This would be fine if you were, say interviewing someone at a table and you wanted to record both people. If you wanted to have two people moving around separately and wirelessly recording them, you'd need two systems.

yes, multiple (free) voices are available in English, Spanish, and French. And there are many more for an additional fee...

Unfortunately, you can't. It is designed for one mic, and will harmonize to that voice only.

It really depends on a few things. A. What kind of quality do you want or need?B. What type of dialog? Ex: Audio book, film, vocal, podcast.If its just for verbal notes lecture recordings, there are cheaper priced recordings. Overall, I'm an independent film maker so I use it for field audio and also voice overs. Hope this helped.

You can only use one microphone at a time, yes you can edit on Audacity or Adobe Audition CS/CC as WAV or MP3.

Not a silly question. I've heard stories that it can't be done or that it can only be done with certain sound cards, but nothing definitive. I'd ask the same question - can you listen while recording, either through the computer OR through the separate audio output simultaneously?

You could if you in put mic in 1 channel with balance all the way 1 direction, and then guitar in another channel with the balance all the way the other direction. You would then have 2 seperated mono recordings. Easily edited in recording software.

Most likely not. This is more for an in home studio recording. Additionally, the area around the mic that picks up voice rather small, you would need a mic for every 2-3 people.

It is possible, but you need another microphone support line-in (but more like a mp3) input. This mixer is designed for solo microphone input. I do not recommend it to work with more than one.

I'm not entirely sure that can be done. There is no sync button on either device to my knowledge. So out of the box they are pre-synced. You can record one person on the mic and one with your camera mic at the same time but with limited range. The bluetooth mic is fairly sensitive so if the two people you are trying to record are next to each other it would pick up a conversation fine say standing 6ft or so from one another. But that is just a guess as to the sensativety range. I used it for a Christmas program of my daughters and could hear her and the kids around her as well as the teachers instructions clearly. As to your specific question you may need to call a Sony tech to get an exact answer. Hope this helped.
