Has anyone used this for vocals in an R&B band and if so how did it perform?

Yes and no. We've used it for vocals in a band that did many different formats. More as a monitor than a amp though. It's loud, but it's not massively loud.

I use it for vocals, not R&B;, but that should not matter. The quality of sound is really good. It picks up the bass in my voice making it sound smooth. Your blues will sound bluesier and volume is easy to adjust.

I play in a country band and we use it for vocals and I run my bass guitar through it at the same time, so two vocals and my bass at the same time. Works great and I still keep the volume way down. And also the vocals sound great and can be adjusted for each thing, bass or vocals at the same time. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to carry my big amp to smaller functions and it sounds better than the big bass amp and I get vocals as well. I hope this answers some of your questions.

We use it for vocals and guitars (les Paul, strat and elec acoustic) and iPad for our family band practice in the basement. It is great and portable, but I doubt it would stand up to a loud/large room or tamped guitars and drums. It would be a decent monitor.

I have. It sounds fantastic for its small size. It's perfect for practicing alone or doing small street gigs. I sometimes use it with guitar and effects processors, but I primarily use it with a Microkorg synthesizer. I've put it through hell, and I can say that It still sounds pretty great at every frequency.

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!

I play bass I have a Direct input from my amp post EQ and another line from the mixing board for the vocals and any other instruments you might want. for me it works great. It will take some tweaking from the volume of the board ->volume of the transmitter->volume of the receiver to get things so it won't clip on you. It takes some getting used to if you wear the earphones in both ears to trust the dynamics of the rest of the band and yourself. but once the levels are correct you will be able to hear everything and save your hearing if its in a loud band.

Yes. I use a Behringer condensor mic. It has a mic gain knob, ground lift button, & mic control (I think to blend with the instrument input). Has been used live as well as vocal tracking. It also adds compression to the vocals even when not switched to a hard correction setting.

I've tried it on a trumpet, and it sounded pretty clean and accurate. I've also tried it on vocals and drums, it will do really good on almost anything really. If all you're looking for a mic to record just a brass instrument though, and don't already own an audio interface, I'd recommend the Blue Snowball USB. It's $100 I believe, it'll sound similar, and you won't have to buy an interface for it (which are $100-200 in addition to the mic itself) hope this helps!

I use my recorder with some Church Audio mics to a preamp and run it thru line-in. I get excellent results. Some people have asked where I bought the CD and are surprised when I show them on what it was recorded.

I use this entirely for instrumental (guitar) amplification, but with two channels, it allows vocals along with the instrument. It's certainly powerful enough to blend with an instrumental quartet, but whether you like the quality of output without further pre-amp manipulation is another matter. Your satisfaction would likely depend on choice of mic and pre-amp. I bought it for acoustic guitar and am very pleased.

I would think, from my view and experience, that it would work fine for busking....hope it works as well for you as it has for me. One band I play in has a member that plays bass and guitar alternately though the amp while at an outside pub (which requires a bit of punch by itself) but this is vacation land at the outside patrons are a bit noisy and it seems to work fine. Don't know that I'd trust it to work where the crowd was larger or noisier. I wish I could give you a better gauge...but that's about as good as I can come to telling you from personal use how it's worked.

I think so, I bought it by mistake. I mainly use Reason 7 to record vocals for the beats my guys made on Reason.Sorry I don't have a better answer, but I don't really mess with the extensions much.

I've tried it. Some of the preset effects give a lot of feed back but the clean ones work just fine. Its great for creating a different sound. I love it!!!

Although I like the mic for back-up vocals in live venues, I probably would not use it for recording purposes. I've never used it for mic-ing a piano or other instrument.

yes. it makes 1) it makes it louder, if there is a limiter on the preamp then yeah it can prevent it from clipping, , 2) a preamp adds warmth to the vocals as well.

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps

If it's the only mic you're using, probably back in the room, about 8-10 feet away. Make sure you're compressing the hell out of the signal... I've never tried this on drums but wouldn't be surprised if it's too sensitive and is prone to distortion. I haven't seen a USB mic that can handle a drum kit. A better drum/general purpose mic is the Rode stereo mic... The Rode iXy is great too. But the Apogee is the best sounding USB mic I've ever used by far for vocals.

I haven't tried the guitar as I own a line 6 pod hd. I wouldn't recommend it because of the limited features. But works great for vocals. If you are a real gear head I would suggest the line 6

for recording definitely. especially for the price. for performing i've never had a problem. one draw could be that it doesn't have an on/off switch, but i actually prefer that. it's a rugged little gem that sounds great. i might suggest that because you're a female vocalist and you feel your "voice is not powerful" you might want to save a little more and get the e935. i hear it's better for female vocals. but who know's.
