I hope someone can help. I have a T.Bone 440 USB mic and I have tried everything to get it recognised in Pro Tools with a 1010LT card to no avail. I have tried ASIO4ALL which seemed to add it as an input, but I still couldn't see it in Pro Tools. It does sound very good for the money when used in a windows recording app, but I'd really like to use it as a direct input in Pro Tools.

We are going to be recording software tutorials and so it will be voice only. The problem is that the pc's being used to record are small form factor with limited ability to add a sound card. So this brings us to the question, for voice recording is the internal sound card good enough or would a external USB type sound card worth looking into? Our type internal sound cards are:

i am very, very, very, veeerrrry tight on cash. so here's my situations. i know a bunch of people who have USB large diaphram(sp?) mics. so i can get my hands on about 4 of them.

now, my question is: Is it possible to plug all 4 into a USB hub and then plug them into the computer/laptop and have all of them like...work?

Hey everyone.

I have an E-MU 0404 USB interface. I just recently bought a R0DE nt1-a and Planet Waves gold-plated xlr-XLR cable. I plugged it all in, turned on the phantom power from the interface, and I get very very low signal, even when I turn up the level all the way for the mic's channel.

ok I have a usb emu 0202 interface and it is not recognizing my microphone... I tried installing the drivers again but that doesnt seem to work... It won't even let me see the mic volume under recording for the device helppppppppppppppp

Im really wondering the pros and cons of each?

Ok, I am wanting to use a usb mic with nuendo. I can't figure out how to get it to record. One friend suiggesting routing it, but I can't figure that out as well. Please any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

I'm new to recording and am looking for a good quality usb mic to record onto my computer. What are the best ones available?
