Would this be a good starting microphone for YouTube

I do believe so! It has very crisp, clear sound recording for it's price, for sure. I'd also buy a windscreen (pop filter) to ease out the harsh "P's" and "S's", as well as minimizing wind and other faint background noise. I bought one of these, then cut out a small hole on the face to make room for the USB to fit through~On Stage Foam Ball-Type Mic Windscreen, Black

I am not sure I know what you mean by that. I easily RECORD audio material (interviews etc.)that are produced on YouTube and save them in a file on the computer. I have not used it as a personal microphone.

In that the quality is good enough for any application. Master audio quality. Save for very costly studio mics. For YouTube should be more that sufficient.

That depends on exactly how you want to use it. This mic will require some sort of interface and that is what will need to be compatable with Windows 8 (which is likely it will be). This will not plug into a regular sound card as it requires an XLR jack. You can buy XLR to TRS converters as well as USB converters. However, this mic comes in a USB version. It would work excelent as a Blog Caster's mic. Windows 8 most certainly has generic drivers that would work with it. ASIO4ALL is a good generic open source driver available free (search ASIO4ALL, you can't miss it). So if you want to plug directly into your computer this mic will be problematic without other appropreate equipement. The AT2020USB will plug directly into a USB port and any audio software should see it as an available input.

No but the internal mic is really pretty decent, we use these on paranormal investigations and they work pretty good. I suppose it would depend on what kinda videos your gonna make. If it is relatively no background noise would be clear and with some would be distorted

Yes...I use mine for gaming and Skype. Should be plug and play but you may have to go into control panel and set up the microphone.

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

I wont say yes, the software is basic.. and what your asking for is not impossiable. The Mic is very good, and since it's uSB, if you were to fill all your USB ports, I don't see why not.

It should work just fine. The microphone pickup quality is very good so dictation should come across nice and clear.

It would be suitable. It does have a tendency to feedback though so you would have to make sure the speaker is pointed away from the mic.

Absolutely, this is a great microphone set for book narrations. I use this myself for narrations and music creations. Enjoy and have fun!

Yes. It's the recommended Microphone for the Jasper project --> http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/hardware/

The Behringer PODCASTUDIO USB is a tool primarily for recording, microphone is simple and basic, but if you want to rap, you might have to buy a better microphone separately. Otherwise it is useful

Am not sure if it does.The best way to find out is youtube the brand to see if you can use it as a mic.alot of time youtube could help you with that and could also provide with a brand also.

Yes, this will work fine for voiceover. A very good mic for such its size, able to record with clarity, and have a build in noise cancellation (it work pretty well, though not in the extreme setting with lots of surround noises).

I think that it would be a great mic for YouTube. It works very well for me on my iMac, MacBook Pro and even my iPad and iPhone. It is made of plastic with some metal components . I give this mic a 5 star rating.

Yes. I am a YouTuber and use this and it sounds crystal clear. I also use this on a desktop, like you mentioned

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

Why would you want to? Get a cheap usb mic and start gaming. This mic is for recording music.
