It often confuses your recording software or, worse, makes all the mics share the same track, which makes it near impossible to edit.
It may not seem like a big deal, but most people would be shocked to know that trying to get multiple USB mics to work on a single computer is a nightmare. What makes Rode NT-USB Mini special is its ability to hook up multiple microphones to one computer or laptop without using a USB audio interface of some kind. What matters most is how it sounds, and the NT-USB Mini sounds fantastic. If you don't need all the bells and whistles, there's no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on features you'll never use. The NT gets the nod over some of the cheaper options in sound quality, but honestly, many of these 'cheaper' mics still sound pretty good. Rode NT-USB Mini is a great-sounding, easy to handle USB microphone whose software solves a common problem for veteran podcasters.
