How well does it work on musical instruments? I need to record a couple of songs on my guitar.

works very well. I have recorded a few piano tracks and the quality is noticeable, yet not professional studio quality ( because of background noise, perhaps if you try in an isolated room the results will be shocking)

Mine has worked wonderfully for acoustic instruments and comes in handy when my friends and I want to just practice rhythms and stuff!

That's exactly what I bought the recorder for. It works like a charm, just remember to place it where it won't be picking up unwanted noise.

Great for instruments, period... Just make sure your area is sound proof at best.You can record direct or indirect Best wishes

Im not sure about guitar but this is great for vocals. I love this product. As long as your mic and power cable are good you can make quality mixes!

Hook up yes, will it work, I cant promise anything. It's heavily implied for mic usage so I don't know how it would handle a guitar, I'd suggest checking out their site http://bluemic.com maybe send them an email if you cant find what you're looking for. Blue's really big on mics, I know if they do anything other than that though.

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.

Yes! You can record vocals and it also has Phantom power. How ever I only use it for electric guitar.

I think it would record live music very well. Keep in mind it is directional so the majority of sound comes from the "super cardioid" pattern or field, and it's what's ahead of it and not as much to the extreme sides or behind the field that this mic is designed to pick up. Here is a URL to show images of a super cardioid field. http://www.google.com/search?q=Super+Cardioid&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&source;=univ&sa;=X&ei;=wocbUvafEuahiQLR1IHQDA&ved;=0CDQQsAQ&biw;=1443&bih;=844 I think it would do well if you recorded the band positioning the camera and mic 20-30 feet away.

Yes it will but you will need to keep it real close to the strings and the opening to the accustic guitar. There are better mica for guitar recording. This mic is a good All round audio recording mic. Clear and solid build. It does need phantom power threw the USB outlet. So it won't work well on a USB hub. Loss of phantom power c

I have only used it to record musical compositions, but you should be able to use it as a sound effect board. Just record the sound bites and files in an organized file system. There are many ways to do this, live recordings being the easiest, I'd imagine.

We've been using "MAGIX Music Maker 2013". We got it cheap and it's works pretty well. Very easy software to learn. Depending on what you are doing with it though, it can get kind of glitchy to work with. We record several tracks together on a compilation, and we've been running into lag issues with it. As long as you can work around it, you should be fine. Just be aware that it IS a pretty big problem with this particular software. But you can't beat the price!

The unit is designed for line or Mic level processing so you may lose a little high end if you don't run a direct box front of it... with that being said i have run a guitar directly into it and out to a USB XLR link for recording and had good results.

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.

Dear Mike, you can record mixed tracks through USB or REC out available, if you were asking about guitar effects, not vocals then you should look for other mixers as well. This is a great mixer for music + vocals and produces great real time sound. I haven't experimented to record separate or isolated tracks along with mixed or live mixed sound. I may need some time to think and experiment on it. Still if you feel that you can elaborate your question, please do it, it may help me think further.

I'm not sure. I haven't tried it yet. I have used the mic and the music, but I have not tried to record anything. I hope this response helps.

I actually used it for acoustic guitars. It works very well. =))). Be blessed.

I guess you could mic up using the guitar jack input. You can vary the input level. Do you want to record with it? There aren't a lot of recording features with it but it's brilliant for learning songs, thanks to the slow down feature. I've used that a lot...

If you record through guitar amp in garageband, you'll not get those noises. Try it (y)
