A GREAT CHOICE!! May 26, 2011
By bob is everywhere

I've owned this mic since 12/10 and the only problem I have had with it was when I used it in conjunction with the software that came with it. As a previous reviewer noted, the sound created with it was static-ey and not useable at all. Do not purchase this mic if you aren't using it with 3rd party software. Pro Tools SE is garbage. Better off using Adobe Audition, Sony Acid, or any other decent audio recording software. This mic is a bit heavy (which I like). It feels sturdy and nicely constructed. The stand is okay. I've used better. The carrying bag is, well, a bag.
I feel this mic has gotten a bad rap in other reviews. IT'S GOOD. Sound quality is GOOD. Yeah, some audiophile may tell you that it doesn't sound as well as mics that cost hundreds of dollars. I wouldn't expect it to. But I don't hear any noise. No hiss, no anything. Just my voice sounding CLEAR!
As stated above, DO NOT USE THIS MIC WITH THE INCLUDED SOFTWARE.
Follow this simple condition and you'll be plenty happy with your purchase.

OK, but not what it could or should be. Jun 23, 2011
By Federico (Fred) Moramarco Avid attempts to get into entry level multitracking with Vocal Studio. Essentially, it's a decent basic vocal mic, stand, and some VERY BASIC software. If you are on a Mac, you'll instantly miss the friendly interface and power of Garagband. Pro Tools SE (included) doesn't even seem to have a "punch in/out" function, making multiple takes on a single track difficult. On the professional level, Pro Tools is one of the leaders in DAWs - this consumer version leaves a lot to be desired.

great microphone, lousy software. use with any 3rd party software for great results Jul 21, 2011
By Bone

I got this microphone for doing voice overs and also to try to record some friends of mine that have a small band going. So far the results have been pretty damn good. I have noticed that for voice though you have to get a bit close to the mic, it's meant to pick up all the sounds in the room, omnidirectional, so keep that in mind. I made a makeshift pop screen to ensure that there were no issues there and so far that has worked awesome as well.
The included software is garbage... but I kind of already knew that from all the other reviews. Hell, even using windows WAV recorder is better than the included software, lol. I'm using this mic with Adobe sound booth and that has made my life extremely easy as all I have to do is record a section of background noise and then tell the program to remove the background noise from the recordings I do and I get nice clean audio without issue. The background noise isn't coming from the mic itself but from the fan I have in the room that I work in as well as the CPU fans. They can get pretty loud at times if I'm doing a lot of work and I see my temps in the case rising I do have to turn them up.
All in all, I do have to raise the gain slightly when doing voice overs but for the music/instruments it seems to be about spot on, which is what this mic is truly designed for.
Could it be better, well sure it could but then the price would also reflect that very same issue.
What it boils down to. You need to know your purpose for the mic. If it's voice overs, just order a directional mic that is designed for that, if you want to record groups singing or playing instruments or even a single person doing the same then get this mic. It does a pretty damn good job for the price.
It's okay Apr 27, 2012
By Alisa It's a good program for those that are just starting out with recording and mixing. However, the program can be pretty limited. Mic is pretty good though.
Low Volume Mar 02, 2012
By M. Campbell I've had this for a while. It's easy enough to use and has a fantastic condenser/sound. But it simply can't provide any volume. I've fiddled with EVERY setting in the mic, in Audacity, and in Windows and have a GREAT sound card - but still can't get this to provide any decent volume. Site's message boards are full of similar complaints and if I take a cheap/crappy USB Mic and run it? I get great volume - so it's not my system or sound-card or settings. The low volume problem IS this mic as I've tested it on 3 machines now.
No response from mfg on the site either.
