Using M-Audio USB mic and Mixcraft...Anyone done it?

[Flackjacket]

I'm about ready to purchase Mixcraft, it seems like a great product. I have a question; I just purchased an M-Audio Axiom 25 and I am about to purchase an M-audio USB mic with headphone connection on the mic. I want to keep this inexpensive and see If I still enjoy recording (I used the hell out of my old Tascam 488 Portastudio 8 track recorder).. Anyway Ive been away from it for quite awhile and DAWs are new to me. If I buy this USB mic, plug the headphone into the mic will I then be able to hear the audio tracks Ive recorded and then add my vocals? I just want to make sure that what I buy will do what I think it will. Or, if you have any other suggestions Id like to hear them. Thanks

Is it this one http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/S ... -main.html ?
No. I haven't tried that one but based on experience with Mixcraft & M Audio products, I'd be extremely surprised if Mixcraft didn't recognize it.
I have used a USB mic, a couple of different M Audio interfaces, Keyrig 25 midi keyboard, an Echo Mona and even plugged a dynamic mic right in to the computer.
In every instance Mixcraft has recognized the equipment.
Add to this that M Audio is are tops at keeping their drivers up to date and I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.
I used to have the Tascam Portastudio too. That was my only Home Recording experience before Mixcraft. Loved that old thing to bits.

Yes Jim that is the mic. Thanks for the responce. Since I posted this question I've done a lot of searching on the net about USB mics and I think I'm going to go with the Samson G Track

Probably a safer bet.
According to 2 reviews I read the M Audio USB mic doesn't work with Pro Tools. Kind of strange when you consider that M Audio promotes Pro Tools software.
You know, you can buy USB mics for about $30 & run a headset from your tower.
