 "Good idea, poor execution" 2010-08-23
By Charles P (Chicago, IL)
This product was a good idea, but the execution of its construction is poor. It is responsive, does what it says, works relatively well as a controller. Problem one was the power, I actually had to send it back to alesis because there was a problem with the jack on the unit. Not a big deal. But the pads, while responsive, are a pain to adjust. The two bottom right pads on mine trigger at the same time (when you hit one, the other triggers too), and I've spent more time trying to adjust this (following the directions) than actually playing the darn thing. Even when I got it, I spent hours adjusting the other pads so they didn't trigger all at once, but those last two I can't fix. I can't even trigger them separately in order to adjust them! After having this for about two years with light use (and, to reiterate, more time adjusting it than actually playing it), I've basically given up on those two pads ever working right.

 "Good for the price" 2010-01-23
By D. Wyatt (Virginia, USA)
For a relatively inexpensive microphone that doesn't require any external equipment to convert it to USB, I think this is a good buy. I don't count the headphones in the equation since I think they are of poor quality, but I didn't care. I bought it for the mic.



I've only used it with Camtasia, and the audio levels seem low and I get lots of "popping" when I talk when I turn up the level on the mic too much. The levels can be adjusted after the fact in the software, but I didn't expect to run into those issues.



The documentation is almost exclusively about using Audacity, but has almost nothing about the mic itself. For instance, there's a black side and a gold side to the actual mic. Why is that? Do they have different sound pickup patterns? Which should I use? Should I angle it or set it upright when I talk for the best results?



I'm sure an audio expert would know the answers to these questions, but then again, an audio expert probably wouldn't be buying this mic, either. So I've just played with it to see what works.



For semi-pro recording of narration or podcasts by a non-audiophile, this mic works fine.

Alesis USB Mic Podcasting Kit with Headphones and Software



I needed a good quality microphone to produce some powerpoint presentations using Camtasia. The microphone easily installs and functions beautifully. It also works great with speech to text applications. For the applications I use, a boom microphone with a headset is uncomfortable and I do not always want to monitor the recording as it is being produced. The headphones are ok and I had a bit of a problem getting the computer configured to work with them with the microphone but once I did they work fine. A good product at a reasonable price.

 "Great turntable" 2009-10-22
By T. Walls
I reviewed a number of turntables and decided on this one. It was a good choice. The delivery was on time and it did not take very long to set it up. I chose to use the line-in mode as I have a good soundcard on the PC and prefer not to burden it with extra USB drivers if it is not necessary. Based on reading the reviews, I had already downloaded the latest Audacity and played with it a little bit so there was nothing extra to do with that. The overall turntable setup took about 30 minutes including balancing the stylus.



My first run-through was just setting it up and playing an album to see how it operates. I didn't initially get a cleaning kit and soon discovered (relearning lessons from many, many years ago) one is absolutely needed. The last time I had a turntable was when any albums I purchased I kept protected and cleaned etc. The album I chose (One that was never put to CD and had to find it online) was produced back in the 80s (and therefore used). It was not in 'mint' condition so it had a number of 'pops' and 'clicks' on it. The cleaner took most of them out. Audacity was able to cleanup what was left except for a couple of songs.



I won't go into too much other detail about recording the album to the PC as this review is about the turntable. I will say it was worth searching the net for information on using Audacity and what is recommended etc.



I have had the turntable about a month now and have run through a number of albums at different times. I do like the pitch adjustment as the turntable has a built in strobe so you can keep the speed accurate. There has been no problems with the turntable and it seems to be the same reliable type of turntable I experienced from Stanton 'back in the day'. Only this time I can feed it directly into the PC. I like that.

MXL Introduces the World's First USB Large Gold Diaphragm Stereo Condenser Mic. It's like having a recording studio in a mic. No mixers, pre-amps, or expensive studio gear. No mixers, preamps or expensive studio gear. No special software or drivers, just plug in to your portable or desktop computer, set your preferences and enjoy instant studio quality recordings.

The mic uses dual gold diaphragm capsules in a XY pattern together with low noise electronics and the latest in enhanced digital conversion techniques for pristine audio quality.
In a demonstration CD a vintage acoustic guitar was recorded with a famous studio mic going thru high quality studio gear to a hard disk recorder and then was compared to the MXL USB.007 recorded direct to a standard computer. The results were nothing short of amazing; the MXL USB.007 sounded like a pristine direct to disc recording while the studio mic sounded nice but lacked punch or detail of the USB mic.

Because of its high quality and ease of use the new mic opens up new possibilities for direct stereo recording with a standard computer such as live performances in the professional, school and home environment. It's also a very exciting tool for podcasts, multimedia, news and broadcast applications using portable computers for remote stereo recording of concerts, lectures, or even documenting outdoor sounds in stereo for film and and sharing with friends and TV backgrounds.

Imagine the fun of recording performances and sound effects from anywhere in the world on a portable computer in full stereo and sharing with friends and associates.
The MXL USB .007 comes with a carry bag, a desktop mic stand, mic stand adapter, a 10-foot USB cable, wind screen, owners manual and an applications guide. The new MXL USB mics usher in a new era of high quality recording never before achieved without a studio. It completely redefines what users can do on their computers opening up a new world for the audio, computer and broadcast industries.

I am a pianist and use the mic to record myself. I am very pleased with the results, except there is a little background noise (like electricity).



I did one recording with it in a hall. Then one with professional equipment in a studio - two microphones each cost $3000.



And I am more pleased with my USB.007 recording, because the mics are close, but the big hall gives in total much nicer sound.



Highly recommended!

This was the first condenser microphone I purchased when looking for a USB solution to start a podcast.

Why would a podcaster want a microphone to record in stereo? Well, in addition to just doing the solo approach during a podcast, I wanted a versatile microphone that I could use out at events to aide in interviews. With this mic I am able to set it on the tripod provided and place the microphone between me and another person while conducting the interview. During playback the listener will hear two voices on different sides simultaneously, mimicking a real conversation as if the listener was in the middle of it. Perfect.



Pros:

-Awesome hard case provided with it.

-Very solid build on everything included, even the tripod. It all just "feels right"

-Ability to record in stereo AND mono

-Indicator light lets you know it's working.

-Windscreen (NOT a pop filter) is included. Most other manufacturers to not include this.

-Low, Med, High attenuation switch on back of microphone to allow adjustments quickly.

-USB plug and play works flawlessly

-Great documentation provided



Cons:

-Skip the free audio editing software, not worth your time

-Windscreen fits a little loose over the mic (could be a problem, ahem...IN THE WIND)

-Doesn't seem to have the total audio quality as the AT2020 USB, but it's so close that

your opinion could be completely different.



Overall, in this price range you cannot go wrong with the MXL 007. Highly recommended.

 "Great stuff" 2009-12-07
By Ferbose (Pasadena, CA United States)
The first USB mic I bought was Blue Snowball to record my fiddle playing. It sounded OK but the coloration was pretty obvious. Since I am a serious audiophile, I guess I should not expect much from a $99 mic. The I decided to record in stereo, thinking that may sound better, which led to my purchase of MXL USB.007. Although USB.007 costs about the same per channel as the snowball, it's sound quality is much better. The details and tonal accuracy is much improved. Although the results are not quite professional-quality, I can't really hear any obvious shortcoming even with my hi-end playback system. MXL did a great job of balancing the sound. With a simple mic stand and a laptop, I can make a decent home recording with no hassle. Hey I think this mic will allow just about anyone to make decent home recordings. That's pretty amazing.

 "Amazingly user friendly high quality microphone" 2009-10-11
By Carl R. Reiter (USA)
I recently purchased this Microphone and am absolutely amazed at the quality of sound. I am a violinist, and have used it to make recordings in house. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so for a sample recording made on an hp laptop go to [...]. The "Leclair Duet" was recorded live with this mic, as was "Away in the Manger."

The mic is quite user friendly, plut it in and record. Recording was made with "Free Audio Editor" which can be found on the web.

 "A fantastic microphone!" 2009-10-01
By Sarah (Chicago, IL)
I purchased this to record performances of my professional flute/piano classical group, the Lunae Duo. We have used it to record rehearsals and performances and are very pleased with the sound quality. In fact, it is so clear, we plan to upload the audio on our website [...] for promotional purposes! It comes with an attractive leather case and the usb chord is long enough to use with a full size mic stand or computer. The desktop stand is very sturdy and the microphone screws into it for complete security.

 "Really Bad for the PRICE" 2010-03-03
By Jonathan (New York, NY USA)
I'm not sure why this thing has gotten so many 5-star reviews. Must be because people haven't really compared it side-by-side with other mics. I got it a couple of months ago and was not happy with the spoken voice recording quality from the start. But today when I had an opportunity to compare it to another (and much cheaper) mic, I was really disappointed in the Rode.



You can use audio mixing software to add a few little effects to it that have the net effect of getting rid of the tinny sound. But it starts with a very tinny sound and that's not a good place to start.



To give you an example check out this page... since Amazon doesn't allow URLs anymore search on this phrase: "Grateful as some are that Apple builds microphones into the iMac and its laptops" and it should be the top article... the one in pcworld.



Scroll down and you'll see some links to recordings this guy has done from several different mics, including the Rode podcaster. Listen to the AKG (which isn't a USB mic), then listen to the Marhsall MXL then the Samson G - then the Rode's. I think you'll hear the difference.



For spoken word recordings this mic is almost totally unusuable IF you care about tonal quality. In other words, every voice will sound much higher pitched than it really is. And you'll sound like you're speaking from inside a tin can. You can fix some of that with good audio software... but it's not the same as capturing it right the first time, during your live recording.



Kind of like digital cameras... you can "fix" and enhance images on your computer. But if you start out with a poor quality image you're gonna end up with poor quality image -- even if the software enhanced image is better than the original.



This mic would be fine if it cost say, $30 - $50... then it would be about what you expect. It is better than the real cheap-o $19 mics. But for the current price of 230 it's REALLY BAD!



I just replaced it with a $115 Audio-Technica (also from Amazon) and that mic is far better when it comes to spoken word recordings. It really captures your voice in a more realistic way. It's comparable to the Marshall and Samson mics mentioned above.



Good luck!

 "Solid Product - The 2nd Time Around" 2010-01-25
By Kevin Peterson
The first one arrived DOA (headphone monitoring jack had no audio), but other than that it had been very nice to work with. The Rode tech support called me back within an hour of submitting a case on the DOA product and offered a fast turnaround by sending it directly to them. I was going to send it back to the Amazon vendor, get a refund, and then order another one, but the support team convinced me to just send it straight back to them for a faster turnaround. And to be honest, looking at a few scratches here and there on the one that I was shipped left me with enough to suspect that I may have been sent a used/broken one by the Amazon reseller anyway, so I didn't want to send it back to them only to have it shipped out again to some other poor soul down the road. In then end it cost me an extra $25(ish) to FedEx the mic to them and the whole turnaround took about 8 days (they sent it Ground back to me, which is really my only complaint there, especially for a DOA product that was sent to them 2-Day Air). Still, what arrived back was a brand new replacement unit that has worked perfectly and I am quite pleased with the purchase and remain comfortable that any support issues will be reasonably addressed.

 "Solid microphone for convenient high-quality audio" 2009-12-22
By Kendall Giles (Richmond, VA USA)
I had a few audio projects coming up and I didn't want to rely just on my built-in laptop microphone. But I am not an audio engineer and didn't want to have to buy racks of equipment just so I could record high-quality audio. I also wanted my setup to be portable and durable.



So after shopping around I decided on the Rode Podcaster USB Microphone.



This is a hefty microphone -- very solid design. Also, using it couldn't be easier. Just plug it into my laptop's USB port (Mac) and start recording -- no need for external power supplies or other interface gadgets.



On a Mac, just plug in the mic, fire up Garage Band, and start recording.



I've already mentioned the heft of the microphone -- this means that you will likely need a solid mic stand to support the mic, especially since it connects to the stand at the base of the mic, and so the result makes the stand and mic a little top-heavy.



But I am very happy with this mic -- easy to use, durable, and makes high-quality recordings.

 "Heavy" 2009-07-31
By G. Rubin (Miami, Fl USA)
Ok - this is one heavy mic! I'm using it to create podcasts and training video's. The sound quality is excellent - studio quality. I had to purchase On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand, Black to keep it from falling over. The problem is the the mic must mount from the rear, so all the weight is hanging over. I also strongly suggest Rode PSM1 Shockmount. It serves a few purposes; 1) it changes the center of gravity when mounting the mic since it attaches to the mic stand in the middle and allows the mic to hang more rearward and it provides a shock absorber. Using it on a MAC with VM - has no issues being recognized by XP and OS X. Overall, very happy with the mic.

 "Incredible microphone!!!" 2008-06-01
By Dustin Sell (Woodbridge, VA USA)
Absolutely incredible sounding audio!! I didn't have to purchase a pre-amp, mixer, pop-filter, etc. Simply plugged it in, and instantly began recording broadcast quality audio. Windows XP instantly recognized it (as a sound card). It also works perfectly on Vista after installing the driver from Rode's website.
