All in all I'm not as happy with this mic as I thought I would be - I need to be about 5cm from the mic for a decent pick up. I don't think it's the mic or the x2a - but something to do with the driver not being effective. Thank you for the help. This mic is a great choice if you are looking for a high-quality USB condenser microphone that has the versatility to record audio, instruments, podcasting, video chatting and more. As read in our Shure MV5 review, it is the best microphone for computers due to its versatility, i.e. It can work with personal computers, Mac, and more. It comes with three DSP modes, two color choices as well as headphone monitoring options.
Here’s a question we get a lot: Can I record with 2 USB microphones at the same time? It’s a good one, too. Recording straight into your computer is a nice and easy way to run a podcast, and if you can get two co-hosts, recording on their own microphones, then the quality can be great. But, USB mics tend to be a bit of a pain when it comes to doubling up. It’s not quite as straightforward as it should be. Have no fear, though, it is possible to record with 2 USB microphones at the same time.

Let’s take a look at how! Boss Yourself: 1 Year of GSD for Creators This is the system we use to blog, podcast & broadcast in a prolific way, manage our work & reach our goals. Next, you’ll create an Input and Output source called “VoiceMeeter”, which can then be selected inside. Now, you can record with both of your USB mics at the same time.
The slight catch is that it’ll record both mics onto the same audio track (whether that’s in mono or joint-stereo) inside Audacity. You can see how this appears in the image on the right. The left and right tracks are exactly the same, containing the input from both USB mics. The ideal situation is that we can get one microphone on the left track, and the other on the right, but combining them in this way isn’t a massive problem. It just means that you’ll have a little less control over your audio in the post-production phase, since you can’t edit and process each voice separately.
To be honest, though, in most cases we don’t need to do that. Or, even more common, we don’t have the time to if we want to keep our show consistent! But if you do want that level of control, let’s look at how to record 2 USB mics on separate tracks. Can You Record 2 USB Microphones Into Separate Tracks? The short answer is yes. It’s get a bit more complicated, though. There are a few things you’ll need: • Recording/editing software such as or • To download a driver called • 2 different models of USB mic For this one, I thought it was worth a video on how to get up and running.
In my demonstration I’ve used Adobe Audition, as well as the and USB mics. Remember, if you need more help setting this up, we’re happy to coach you through it inside.
Check out our, if you’re still looking around for a good USB mic. Transcription Here’s how to use audio recording and editing software, Adobe Audition, to run two different USB mics into the PC at the same time.
I’m going to use the Shure MV5 and the Blue Yeti as my two USB mics. It’s better to use two different models of mic here, as it might not work if you have two of the exact same. I’ll also need to go to asio4all.com to download and install an audio driver called ASIO4ALL. ASIO stands for Audio Stream Input Output. And ASIO4ALL basically powers up your computer’s sound card, giving it access to multiple inputs and outputs independently at the same time. Next, when you open up Adobe Audition, go to File, then Preferences. Set your device class to ASIO and ASIO4All v2 as your device.
Open up Settings to the right of device drop-down menu. Inside this control panel, you’ll see a list titled WDM Device List, and you want to click and activate the little power buttons besides your USB mics.
Come out of Settings after that and go to Audio Channel Mapping. Select both your USB mics as your left and right channels. Leave the Preferences section and start a new multi-track session. On track one and two, use the input drop-down menus titled Default Stereo Input to select both your USB mics. Hit the R on both tracks to arm each one to record. And when you hit record, that’s you up and running with two USB mics at the same time. In these setups we used the, the and the.
