Yes, you certainly can. There are several options for software that you can use for this purpose, but I use Adobe Premier Elements, and it works just fine. Roxio Creator NXT is another software option that would also serve this purpose. As for mics, there are any number of them that work with the software named. You just need to do a little research.

You didn't mention if you're going to simply be listening or doing recording/editing, so I'll give you a general answer. The built-in speakers aren't great, but you if you're doing something like editing tracks, you should be using monitors or a headset anyway. I've used both a bluetooth headset and a gaming headset with USB connector and have noticed a couple of things. The Bluetooth sounds spectacular. The USB has a faint hiss as soon as you plug it in, though not as noticeable in the USB 3, and definitely better than the on-board speakers. I think the hiss is just general noise from the electrical-from not having perfect shielding on the internal wires-but that's a bit much to ask for any laptop. I was a music major and studied audio engineering in college, so I get where you're coming from. I wasn't that impressed with this thing at first, but it's shown me what it can do and now I'm impressed and honestly really fond of it. You won't want to master anything on this, but it's going to be insanely portable and can handle a lot, considering the price point.

Definitely i used mine for everything until i upgraded. Practice, recording, performing. It works fine for all, one gripe though. Its a bit quiet when performing outside, requiring you to put your mouth really close. Other than that it's a great mic. Durable, sounds good.

I would suggest Audacity. Its a free voice recorder program that lets you record with the microphone and edit the recording to your liking.

For better sound, you should get an audio interface, something to record the audio seperate from the video. That way you can easily edit sound on its own with a DAW. Look into the Tascam DR-60DmkII, I don't own it personally, but it can be mounted with your camera.

Hi, Thomas.You can record straight from a mic into your iPad (into whatever audio software that you use: audacity, adobe audition, etc) using this interface with MOST mics, so that will indeed allow you to skip the step of recording into the Zoom and then uploading the file into your iPad or computer for editing. A caveat: if you use a mic with low output, like an Electrovoice RE20, this interface will not get the job done. You'll end up with a pretty loud noise floor, even using the phantom power feature.Even though it creates an extra step, I have found that I generally get better quality results recording into the Zoom and then importing the files into my computer.Hope that helps!

Added thought... I want to use Audacity software to help with the conversion. Again, any thoughts? Thanks!

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

Hey Keith, Sure. Plug it into your system using a USB cable and then make sure it's selected as your systems mic in webex and you'll be good. I actually use Adobe Connect but they are very similar. Works well for a group around a table or the like. The biggest mistake you can make is plugging it into your computer but then not selecting it as the active mic. Cheers.

Works fine for me, I use no sound card. Let me say this though: I use FL Studio, which uses that special audio driver, and it doesn't seem to like it when I do live recording via the FL sound driver. I have to go into my Audio options, disable my audio, and then it will function for recording live sounds (just a pain really, but still works). Other than that, I have no complaints running it through my 20$ logictech speakers.

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.

i found the best setup is--from your interface(the box that comes with your recording software) into a TUBE preamp(arc, prosonus) then into a compressor(this is essential for controlling the input/volume so you do not peak while recording) of your choice(i use one called "a really nice compressor" from the u.s of a) then into your lovely mic and away you go. ps. make sure you use the instrument input on your interface, from the pre-amp

i have a created some recordings and have used the mic with some distance and let my normal voice, it sounds awesome! check the podcast i created with that microphone! http://traffic.libsyn.com/crmbuzz/CRMBuzz001.mp3

No issues. It will improve the audio immensely. Experiment on whether to use setting 1, 2, or 3 for mic level in camera will suit your needs. I go to the zoom h1 for recording but you can go to the camera direct.

Honestly, i am not sure but if i had to say yes or no i would say no. I could not find anything in the editor that involved voice recording. I use a free program called audacity for my voice recordings. If there is a feature in Movie Studio i would rather use that but i can't find it.

I apologize for the late response. You can copy from anything that has a 3.5 mm (headphone jack). I think it is a little complicated on how to use it, but it works well. I use headphones to lister, I i know when to start to record and when to stop. Adjusting volume, getting started is a little tricky but once you get used to it it is good. I have I tunes songs that recorded low, and I use the micorder to copy send increase volume.
