Hi,
- A quick lookup on at2020 usb web revealed that at20220 are a multitude of issues with nearly all USB powered mics since the release of Windows The light remains on and my computer never stops seeing the device as plugged in and available, however the recording software stops picking up audio and the people on the other at2020 usb of any conversations I may be having say at2020 usb SKYPE can no.
- Interestingly enough, windows found nothing harmful upon a scan of the USB but a few seconds later it reported a potential worm. After a few discussions with a helpful person (you can see my comment/post history) on a different sub ( r/antivirus ) it turns out that the My Pictures.lnk was a disguise to get me to click it then run a file named.
The AT2020USB+ features a built-in headphone jack with volume control that allows you to directly monitor your microphone signal with no delay. It also offers mix control that blends microphone an.

Hope this is the correct place.I'm recording an acoustic piano with a recently purchased AT2020 USB+, and I'm having some issues with quality after the fact. I suppose for the sake of simplicity I'll paste my email to Audio Technica support here; I'm sure the people here have probably seen this before.

Hello!
I received my microphone certified refurbished from Amazon about a month ago. At the moment, I am making a recording of a Yamaha grand piano. Based off of videos/comments on the internet, I believe my current setup does not produce a quality of audio that the microphone should probably be capable of.
Right off the bat, I need to mention that I am recording in Mono (one microphone), so this may affect quality.
I asked a friend with prior audio experience to describe the issue. After listening through my ATH-M50X headphones, he notes that the recording sounds muffled and low fidelity, the piano's sound is missing its brilliance/shimmer, and there there is a lack of overtones; all combined, it sounds as if there were a blanket in front of the mic. He mentioned that recording in stereo would most definitely improve the sound, but the microphone should probably not be producing that sound. I'm unable to record in stereo for now (budget) but I plan to in the future. He asked if the mic came with any EQ software, or any way to adjust it. He also listened through the live headphone jack monitor and noted that the mic is extremely sensitive, so he suspects it could be some sort of driver issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows USB Mic Driver just to be sure.
I record using Audacity, and have made sure that all recording settings match. (Windows properties and Audacity are both set to 48000hz, 2 channel, 16 bit.) I also followed the official Audio-Technica guide to microphone placement, and have optimized my placement based off of what it instructs.
Is there anything I'm missing that would improve audio quality?
Thanks!

Anyone have any ideas? I can rerecord if any settings need to be changed, but it would be inconvenient.
Is there any way I can fix the audio with Audacity or Adobe Audition?
I could post the raw audio, but the forum won't allow it until I post more. Just search Soundcloud (dot com) for 'Joel Johnson Sample AT2020' and it should pop up.
