JAKE P : Can this be used to record music from my band?ANDRES E : It does not have that many inputs. I think you should explore another option.KERRY S : Hi Jake, Technically - yes you could. Not knowing the number of people in your band or the style of music you perform limits the answer a bit. I would suggest a second mic if you go this route. Often when bands record each instrument and vocal is recorded on a separate channel through a mixing board with enough inputs to carry the load and mixed together for the final production. The reason they record in a studio room is they are designed to minimize sound reflection to a certain degree, which the microphones can detect and possibly record. Plus they minimize other exterior sounds which could interfere with the recording. As this contains a sound editing software package as well, you don't have to worry about getting one to use. I would practice - practice - practice with the system before you jump in with all guns blazing to familiarize yourself with the way it works, its features, mic placement in your environment, and setting it to record the best possible sound. Recording audio anyone can do. Recording good/great audio is an art form. The folks who do it really well have devoted a lifetime to it and their knowledge comes from practice. If at first it doesn't sound good enough for what you want, reposition, reset, adjust the levels and the recording software and try it again. You'll eventually get the best results you can form the system, or you'll come to the conclusion you need a better setup. Good Luck.

Not quite the steal I had hoped for.

The reviews about how you need to turn it up to 10 are comepletely true. You also need to eat the mic or shout into it. My biggest problem was that after I maxed the levels, I started to pick up AM radio. There is a reason these things are so cheap. Buy at your own risk.
