 The basics for your budget Jun 01, 2010
By C. Feaster
The Microphone: M-Audio Producer USB mic
The mic connects to your computer and is powered through the USB port so there's no need for pre-amp phantom power. It is uni-directional and does a great job of cutting out background noise. You can adjust the levels of dba through the Pro Tools software so the mic will pick up your voice when you're not sitting close to the mic (like if you want to stand and sing) and/or if you have a really soft voice. There's a built-in pop filter that works fine, but I always use a separate pop filter anyway. There's a headphone jack on the mic which is useful for two things: It has better transfer than you would get from plugging your headphones into the computer's headphone jack, and it eliminates any feedback you might get from having your voice play over speakers while you're recording. The uni-directional mic reduces but doesn't eliminate feedback. (A recording tip for singers: You'll want headphones anyway - hold one headphone cup over your ear so you can hear your recording voice and let your other ear hear your voice as you're used to hearing it. This is the best way to train your voice for recording which is different from just singing aloud to an audience.)
The Software: Pro Tools M-Powered Essential
This is not the full version of Pro Tools, it's an introductory package. It's not bad, but there's a reason it's 1/3 the price of the full version. I don't personally use Pro Tools because I'm not a recording artist, I bought Vocal Studio to get the M-Audio Producer USB mic for use with my Rosetta Stone and Vocal Singing Coach software. It is important to note that the microphone works without the included Pro Tools software, but the software will not load without the microphone plugged into the USB port whether you're using it or not. (It's an anti-piracy measure.)
If you're looking to become a prosumer recording artist, you'll probably shell out $200 for a condenser mic, $500 for the pre-amp mixer to plug the mic into, $300 for full version Pro Tools, etc. For $90, you shouldn't expect a miracle in a box. For the rest of us who just want to break into Pro Tools or who need a decent mic that will clearly record your voice onto the computer, this is perfect.

 Ok hardware, crummy software! Jun 11, 2010
By BP Foto
Don't bother ordering this if you plan to use it with the latest Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or with Tiger 10.4.11 . Pro Tools Essentials is not yet supported on Snow Leopard 10.6.3, and they don't list any time frame for an update. They say it can be used with 10.6.2, but after reading the help forums ([...]), it seems like a huge hassle to get it to work. I failed to read the system requirements on the box that said "10.5.5 and up", but the software actually installed on my laptop running Tiger (10.4.11). After running the software, it told me it wasn't compatible, so I read the box, smacked my forehead, and went to run the uninstall program. Well, even the uninstall program won't run on Tiger!!! So, I guess I will have to figure out how to remove it all manually, ugg!
Software problems aside, this mic will still work in 3rd Party programs like Audacity and Garageband. However, I was not impressed by the audio quality. Without any EQ, It's a bit top heavy with mostly midrange and treble coverage. The mic does not have a warm sound if that's what you're looking for. It's probably fine for recording podcasts and other casual recordings, but I wouldn't use it for professional work.
At this point I am going to try for a return and get a Marshall.

 Expensive Crap Oct 19, 2010
By Bill Miller
I bought this microphone to use for voice overs on different presentations. The stripped down version of ProTools seems cool, but takes a bit of work to learn how to use. It isn't as intuitive as some other interfaces. But that isn't this product's problem.
When I first hooked up this microphone, and started recording with it, there was an obnoxious, high-pitched squeal. All attempts to troubleshoot with the drivers, software, volume and gain controls, etc were futile. Nothing removed the squeal. I attempted to contact their support, which is pretty much a joke. The troubleshooting steps they had me try were basic and simple steps that anybody would think to try the first time around. When those didn't work, I attempted to see if they had more advanced troubleshooting steps. I did not receive, nor have I ever received any response from them after my initial contact.
I may have gotten a damaged device, but their support was of no help. The mic made a nice paperweight, but didn't do much else for me. I returned it for another.

 So,So product. May 27, 2010
By T. Reid
"Very Critical"
I bought this from Best Buy to do some home recording. I must say this really is basic Pro-Tools. Pro-Tools (Essential) is a pretty title but this thing is stripped down. Like the other reviewer said, if you are doing Hip Hop this is a gold mine. But I'm a Metal singer so this package is not all that great. I need more than 16 tracks to get the effects I want since I have to do it manually. The chorus plugins are not useful at all. The sounds are not full and they sound too much like a computer. Now when I bought this I noticed it had a mini-headphone jack. Uh oh, we all know mini jacks break easy and I was very nervous to get this. I got it anyway because of the price. I had it a week and it worked fine until...BAM...the mini jack broke in the mic. Now what am I to do? I guess you get what you pay for. I just went out and bought the FULL Pro-Tools 8 program (Which is completely better), got better interface hardware, a real condenser mic, mic stand and a pop filter. This package does not have these things. They have the condenser mic but you really need everything else if you want the basics. A six inch mic stand that sits on a desk will not cut it. Get better hardware that works with Pro-Tools. You will save yourself time and money. I only recommend this to straight beginners. I am a straight beginner myself but I was not satisfied at all for what I wanted to do.
