Mine already terminates at the end of the song. And guess what? It plays
movie files as well

I'm looking for a USB mic to work with this software...is this a good one?
made by logitec
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10348115&loc=
this one was $20
specs: -47dbV i believe

I also found the "telex M-560" but it shows no specs.
http://www.epinions.com/Telex_M_560_...ay_~full_specs
the review below said its really good though. the cheapest i found it for was $35

another logictec one that has a 57dba rating...
http://geek.pricegrabber.com/search_...asterid=909521
specs here:
http://geek.pricegrabber.com/search_...09521&tab_id=1
only $16
ack the review on it:
"No way near as good as the discontinued Telex M-560 USB Microphone which gives great voice quality no matter how far my mouth is from the microphone."
another person said it was great. who knows.

heres the telex m540 for $17
http://geek.pricegrabber.com/search_...asterid=670303
don't know if its as good as m560

Audio-Technica ATR-30 Professional Unidirectional Microphone
http://geek.pricegrabber.com/search_...asterid=386484
$30. that one looks really good but doesn't say much about it spec-wise

let me know what you guys are using....

can't wait to try out the new program

Hey grayscale, i wouldn't use any of those mics. Expect to spend ~100 dollars for a quality mic

Any chance that some binaural microphones will work. I've already got some of these that I use to record live music: http://www.core-sound.com/mics.html
Seems that these could be mounted a little more discretely than some of the others I've seen. I guess I'll have to play around with them when I have some time. Any chance I could use the Onstar microphone that I already have in my truck from the factory? I didn't renew the Onstar service so just wondering if it may be possible.

f that. i don't want a headset really, but i'm sure that would help being closer to your head. also you will not be able to play music at all while using these mics right? are there any they can detect what is coming out of your sound card and cancel the wave so it only picks up your voice?

i'll spend $40 on a mic max.

edit: this one https://web59.mysecureserver.com/tal...i-bin/micA.asp looks like the logitec one i posted up earlier. but what about the telex m-560 mic? it got a really good review.

It all depends on the performance you desire. If you want to get crappy results then by all means buy a 20 dollar peice of crap mic. If you want to get good results in an automotive environment then you better get an extra good microphone.

Look on the andrea web site. http://www.andreaelectronics.com/aut..._tech_demo.htm

Hear the difference

Do you guys know if the factory mic in the Audi A4 is good enough to use with this software or will I have to buy another mic? Is is possilbe to hook this mic to the computer? I have seen it hooked up to car kits for cell phones but never to a computer.
