Blue Yeti & Samson G-Track Pro: The BEST USB Mics For *Working At Home* in 2020

[@bimbros1025]

Ive been using a gtrack pro for 2.5 years now. This microphone will make your voice sound smoother than cream cheese spread over a freshly cut bagel.

[@anotherone1001]

Agree !

[@ancientslav4863]

Not all like that tho. I like the yeti sound kinda bit more.

[@ali-13392]

I had bought the Modmic wireless couple of months ago and now regretting it 😥 Thought that would be it for using along with Sony XM4, but I was wrong. Now, I really want to buy Samson G-Track pro!!!!! Guess I would keep the modmic wireless for travels and stuff and have the Samson one setup for my office

@@ancientslav4863 yeti broke after a week or 2 and I don't know who to ask to help me with this do you know anybody who can help me other than blue support

[@ts749349]

I have been using the Samson Mics, all of them for years, now the G Track Pro. I am trying out the Blue Yeti today for the first time. It is a good mic, but I just feel the Samson is better. I played two recordings for my son today, I narrated this morning with the Samson, and we compared it with the Blue Yeti. It was judged by us, the better mic. I am not a professional mic reviewer but have narrated audiobooks for 35 years. I will keep the Blue Yeti because I need a smaller footprint with my notebook, but will also continually use the Samson. Thanks for this review.

[@ChronicAndIronic]

Im def gonna buy the Samson, this was the final nail in the coffin

[@smoothvelvetsinger]

I got all of the best USB microphones, home recording is my hobby. I'd trade them all for the Samson G-Track Pro. It's the best. I'd put the Rode NT-USB at second place.

[@___Saint]

Same. I was comparing the Rode USB to the Yetti, I managed to get a rode on pre order. The delivery time keeps moving away. It doesnt do half of what the Samson does.

[@jun3938]

@@smoothvelvetsinger How about the wave 3 compare to Samson G-Track Pro? thanks :)

[@wildsworld5121]

For all of you thinking of purchasing mics, these can both be altered to sound much better with free software such as Voicemeeter, which is what I use for my Samson G-Track Pro

[@fuerton1]

Samson sounds like better quality, exactly what I was looking for, thanks for the unbiased review.

[@briantamagos2306]

Thanks for sharing this! An important note to those looking for a microphone is that these microphones pick up a lot of background noises if the room you're working isn't treated. I bought a dynamic microphone as opposed to a condenser microphone because the environment I am in is quite loud.

[@laurentsaffard6318]

Considering using the stand alone soft : Krisp to reduce the background noise while recording might be a very good option. 😉

[@vine191]

Thanks a lot man, I have just started online zoom and was thinking to buy another mic as people are telling me the sound is not too good, after listening to your simple explanations I will keep my blue yeti and just use it properly ! ! you have saved me £100

[@_Mohanned]

How were people telling you that your Blue Yeti sounds not good? Did you mess with its settings? Also how’s it holding up now that it has been a year?

[@MicahsRants]

Great video! I just purchased my Blue Yeti Blackout edition and it sounds amazing!!!

[@anthonytobin7]

Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@dancystingray]

I want to start streaming and the Samson is perfect because it gives me the clarity that every stream mee wants but through usb. Amazing

[@arlenaf.3503]

I love Samson. All of my mics are Samson. Even their cheap dynamic mics are good.

[@groovecat7]

Your work is immensely helpful and valuable. Thanks for this great demo and for all the clearly communicated, efficient, effective tutorials. Bravo, sir.

[@cheungcs415]

Phone mic users: "They sound like hot garbage". I immediately liked your video and subbed after that comment, thanks for the chuckle!

[@debilynnphillips]

As a studio singer, I am wondering if I should buy the G Track Pro with built in audio interface or the Samson G Track Pro Condenser to record my voice for upload to audacity?

[@queenangelalibiternos7213]

Awesome video! Thank you! Just bought my first mic, the blue yeti and some accessories for it. A lot to learn

[@moltenbullet]

My g-track pro is superrrr quiet. Like I have the mic gain dial at 100% and still have to sit right next to it. Have no idea how to fix that.

[@StevenEspaniola]

Nice comparison vid!! Just picked up the Blue Yeti...love it

[@joshuawilliams2045]

Which one of these would be better for not picking up others talking in the ten foot range? Looking to upgrade my microphone but i share my gaming room with other people

[@hcpodcast23]

Thanks for the video and comparison. I do play guitar and bass and was kinda on the fence about which mic to purchase. The Samson sounds better in my opinion but to each their own. I'm going with the G-Track Pro.

[@imalwayshungry100]

What about the RØDE NT-USB?

[@fogartym77]

Brilliant video - straight to the point. Thnx so much.

[@dream_chaser7569]

Samson is cooler.. but I want to know the microphone you used to begin the video with

[@rupomsreelkolkata]

Which is Best for Home Voice over ??

[@Mark-xt4ib]

Whats that mic you are using, and what is that screen light you are using please.

[@feefeee]

I remember buying the yeti when I started streaming but my cheap samson go mic was still more clear and louder. I was in denial because I wasted money on the yeti but I see clearly now!

[@brunomushotoku1150]

Hi. About lavalliere mic. Can you say which one best? Thank you

[@PhilipCockram]

Very helpful . I went with the Samson . I like the sound of it better than the Blue and like the separate Instrument input .

[@ednafernandesyi]

Thank you so useful...great content

[@canwefixit8129]

maybe if your listen to these mics played back through an expensive stereo it might sound different. But watching this video and listening to audio through my gaming monitor they literally all sound pretty much the same. I listened to this whole video and if i didn't know you were testing multiple different mics i would never notice.

[@mottab]

Does the blue yetti also have a headphone jack that you can listen to the call from, and also possible turn off and on the monitoring of hearing yourself?

[@awalldigital]

It has both of these features.

[@zoh6255]

What about the Samson G track pro against The Blue Yeti X

[@awalldigital]

Need the Blue Yeti X to test

[@LWRC]

"Hot Garbage" - that got my attention! Great review!! The G Track Pro seems to have more depth and the audio is a bit richer. Thanks for sharing ! ! !

[@awalldigital]

+LWRC G Track definitely sounds better, agreed.

[@LWRC]

@@awalldigital Is this mic over kill for use in conference calls on a computer? There are many conference call mics and speaker phones but I'd think this mic blows them all out of the water.

[@Jivolt]

Whew. Glad I went with the Blue Yeti. The Samson has a weird slightly echoey sound.

[@Remolizzo]

Great comparison! Just got the Samson today for music vocals.

[@deanhammond2129]

Eagerly awaiting the camera video you mentioned.

[@awalldigital]

It will arrive in the next few weeks

[@sergiodmota]

Can I connect my mp3 to the Instruments input?

[@leechhveeroy5348]

It can be connected to camera?

[@kucemuroye4138]

May i recommend the fifine k690 which is just a blue yeti cheaper smaller just without the brand and sounds about the same

[@functionaldoc5054]

What would be a good shock mount , boom mount and windscreen for the Samson?

[@onsenguy]

very informative video, but a question that comes to mind is what do you use for speakers? i'm guessing a headset? if external speakers are used, will the sound from them bleed into these mics and cause an echo for the other caller(s)?

[@NickSmalin]

2:43 that’s where you’re wrong bucko lmao, me literally playing the guitar watching this video haha

[@kfergzz5931]

Where should I buy the Samson from

[@mansi4564]

I bought the Samson and it sounds good but, it would always make an annoying noise as my computer works harder like while playing games or using heavy applications, I’ve bought another cable and the noise is still there, any of you guys know why is it and how to solve? I use Windows 10.

[@awildlildrew3107]

Do these mics come with a stand ?

[@VITALIAQUIROPRACTICA]

Hello, thanks for being open to help, don t know where to post this question for you. I have a RODE VideoMicro, which my PC Windows 10 doesn t recognize when I plug it in the mic jack with the proper2 rings plug. So Rode sells a 200€ wireless thing to connect it, but I don t want that. I have OBS installed. but don t understand what I need? Power- Interphase - a sound card???? I would like something simple and inexpensive. Any recommendations or clarifications? Thank you very mucho, Muriel

[@jhowie]

hi, have you found a solution yet? make sure it is plugged to the microphone port and in your sound settings, the microphone must be selected as the default. I would suggest getting something like the Blue Yeti Nano which is a smaller version of the Blue Yeti and is pretty much plug-and-play which means it works out of the box without much configuration.

[@JokoKurama]

Does the sound got worse if i put them far away and i raise some gain? wich distant should be the best for this or any other micro? thx

[@Tranquitronquista]

Andrew, thanks for the review. However, I believe you h a v e to keep quiet for three or four seconds when testing a microphone; it was frustrating to me not being able to hear any possible ambient noise.

[@eriskanani9309]

For cover music what do you think yeti or samson g track pro ? Thank you

[@AlejandroTogo]

Nice vid Thanks!! Can you please tell me where to find that Webcam support? it looks like a nice and sturdy one!

[@YudronWangmo]

What mic were you using in your intro? That was so much better than the two you demoed here.

[@lcjames334]

Kind of a dumb question, but can the Samson power a pair of Sennheiser HD598SEs plugging in directly to the headphone jack? Trying to figure out a more comfortable setup.

[@awalldigital]

+Logan James is there something unique about those headphones I am not aware of? If not, should be fine

[@lcjames334]

@@awalldigital Thanks for the reply! Nope, nothing special. Honestly, they're pretty low Ohm too (I think they're 50) so I don't think it'd have problem driving them.

[@jamesdang3603]

Can you put the Samson on a boom like the yeti?

[@goldneko]

Yes you can. You just have to make sure the boom can hold a heavy weight since the Samson is quite heavy.

Does the Yeti have a monitor on/off cavalierly like the Samson? It doesn’t seem to from your review. So I wonder is it always in a monitor on mode or lack a monitor capability altogether?

[@byrondelcid8146]

Which one would work best if I wanted to use it on example...google hangouts, teach a lesson via video or record a podcast? Would both microphones do the job? Loved your video.

my g track pro keeps flashing red and ive tried to fix it but it doesnt work so the audio is worse

[@testoptions]

This was great. Thank u bruh.

[@ChronicAndIronic]

Also I heard the Samson is made of heavier more sturdy materials, which apparently makes it pick up on more deeper voices compared to high frequency noises, do you think that’s true?

Hi Andrew, could I ask your opinion of the AT2020USB+ - the intented use is for audiobook narration. Thank you kindly.

[@awalldigital]

I don’t have a strong opinion on it, as I do not own that mic. My colleagues use it, and it generally has a flat sound in comparison to these two mics in the video.

[@Sherlock71]

Thank you. Of the 2 microphones you reviewed which would you consider best for audio narration/ voice over?

It works without headphones. Headphones have nothing to do with the mic capturing your audio.

[@JenniferAmaa]

[@kewltekmedia]

Nice comparison vid! I appreciate it! Curious why you mirror imaged the footage? The Samson sounded "fuller" to me -- is that you're experience as well? Nicely done!👍

[@awalldigital]

Samson is fuller but picks up more room noise.

[@DeactivatedCharcoal]

I noticed that too! I was trying to see that brand of Mic he was using on the boom, looking for writing & logos then Hey, it's flipped...

If any idea fo samson to reduce room noise?

[@murasakivideo]

I can't tell; what mic are you using when you're holding the Blue Yeti and the Samson G-Track Pro at 0:22? That's definitely not the Samson G-Track because those three buttons don't match the Samson.

So you mean that the Blue Yeti allows zero latency listening with the audio output, but you can't listen to people during a call using this output, whereas the Samson F-Track Pro allows that?

[@vovical]

I'm gonna buy the Samson when I get the money for it, thanks. Also, how does anyone manage to hear themselves while they talk? It is very distracting for me since it feels like I am talking over someone

[@Moondog2A]

It's only distracting if there's a delay (which happens when you're monitoring from most editing programs like FCPX) But directly from the mic, it should be nearly instantaneous. Like recording without headphones and hearing your own voice in the air. I don't have a Samson so I can't confirm, but I have worked with analog monitoring setups in the past.

[@EG_Diamond]

It's weird yeah...i can't do that while i talk to someone....i do it tho when im testing out my mic
