What recording software do you recommend to use with this mic. It's for my daughter to record herself singing &amp; playing the piano

I use Audacity which is free and is easy to use. There are other commercial software programs too which can be subsequently used. Good luck!

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

It's no software it jus plug in play... If you need software to record with download REAPER or Sony Acid Pro they work great and they both have free trials so you can test and see which fit you best

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's. I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)

you can record in mp3 or wav at different bit rates; then remove the micro sd card and you are ready. also you have a line out jack. i haven´t used the usb port, but there is one available to try. As a general comment, it is an excellent recording device. no need to use external mic. I recorded from last rows in a piano concert of a philarmonic concert hall (not for commercial purposes of course) as well as close to a piano and singer in a small living room. Both 10/10

Hi Robert, You can import your backing tracks (mp3 or Wav files) into the program and record your vocals. I use a 2 channel USB interface for recording vocals and guitars. I hope this helps. I think this is a very user friendly program.

I bought this as a gift for someone's child. I believe one of the features I liked on it was the fact that you could sing along with the microphone. Doesn't even have a button for recording a voice? I wish I could be more help. What about the manual it came with. The directions should tell you how to work the microphone. Good Luck.

The software automatically loaded when I plugged the cable attached to my mic. The next time I used it, I went to my recording program, which for me is Audacity, and was able to record immediately. My operating system is Windows7.

I don't think it can record stereo. The built-in mic is only one channel and the line-in for instruments is mono also. I think you may want the Duet instead of the One, but you can always imitate stereo by duplicating a channel and automating effects too if you want to save money and get around that limitation :)

Can this product do overdubbing--say, can you record piano and then go back and record voice over it? I didn't see anything about that capability in the product info.

Terris, I purchased the software to manage voice recordings made on a Sony digital recorder. Subsequently, I've used an earbud microphone/recorder (Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-up Microphone by Olympus) to make recordings of phone calls dealing with detailed instructions of how to handle tax matters. The number of options outside of my needs are numerous. Keeping in mind that I use the software to "edit" voice recordings off of a digital recorder and a couple of technical phone conversations, my guess is that you will have no problems with the software and will be please with it. Beyond this software, Sony has a number of higher end sound products that would allow you to do studio recording quality. Here's my suggestion: buy the software and play with it for ten minutes - record for 5 minutes or so and edit for the remainder of the time. My guess is that you'll be pleased enough to continue using the software. As your understanding of what your needs are and what offerings are available, you can step up. My version predates the current version and is on sale for $24. Spend $24 and give it a spin. What you do not want is to buy a full blown complicated software when you just want to record your book. In summary, I'm pleased since the software more than meets my needs and was very easy to learn to do what I wanted it to do.

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).

There are numerous apps you can download for free that do voice recording. The sound quality will be about a 5 out of 10.

Piano is really tough, since they are way louder than you think.I would put headphones on and do a sound check to make sure the recording levels are where you want them.But yes, the unit will give you a good medium fidelity recording. I have some pretty good condensor mics that I attach to the zoom and the resulting audio is WAY better than the compressed audio on a video camera. If you have the external condensor mics you will get good high fidelity audio.

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?
