Blue Yeti vs Samson G-Track Pro Comparison (Versus Series)

[@MindfulMusic]

Samson G-Track Pro is hands down the most clean & crisp sounding of the two.

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

Its more of a clean sound DEFINITELY. Less heavy mid range.

[@dantepalazzolo4904]

I got the Samson but, for some reason the yeti sounds a little better in this video. Only half way through but, I’m guessing the yeti is best for audio calls and podcast

[@ancientslav4863]

@@dantepalazzolo4904 Yeti for podcasts, AT2020 for instruments. G track pro does good on both, bot best of both.

[@luckyme4153]

exactly

[@jjdizz1l]

Fact. On top of that, it dons a USB Type B (Thick), and not a stupid USB Micro C found on the Yeti Nano, or a stupid USB Mini B found on the Yeti and Yeti-X.

Go, Samson G-Track Pro!

[@LlfeMinecraft]

Go Blue Yeti!

@Patatas Con Queso It does

[@DeactivatedCharcoal]

@Patatas Con Queso You could always buy 2 of these and do S T E R E O like a pro / Wait, then again I could do multi track using just one of these mics!

[@sunnyxiong6927]

[@ShawnMilo]

Yeti for electric guitar, G-Track for voice & acoustic, in my opinion.

[@kongcaspian9217]

I agree👍

Same

It's amazing how consistent your strum is from clip to clip

[@martinm5686]

I’ve had the Samson G-Track Pro for 7 months now. It is awesome. Highly recommend it. I had doubts between these two mics, but in the end I made the right decision.

[@Motinhox]

@@StrongCoreSociety I personally don’t have a background noise issue what do ever. Is your mic volume over half way? Mine is around 35-40%

[@rickyricardo4331]

I almost bought a Yeti as it's become a household name amongst streamers, but you're really selling me on the Samson G-Track Pro!

[@danmagoo]

Note to Windows users: The Yeti lets you set gain using either the hardware knob on the mic, and/or by setting the levels in Windows Sound Control Panel>Recording tab>(Yeti icon)>Levels. You can adjust these in any combination of Windows levels and/or hardware gain knob (although I don't recommend taking too long at these experiments!). With the Samson G-Track Pro, the Levels in Windows (and in your DAW) will appear frozen at either 0 or 100%, and all gain adjustments must be made on the microphone knob. This is "as designed". This gives the Samson mic a narrower range of possible signal levels than the Yeti -- but, the G-track gain is adequate even for Windows 10, and to me it definitely sounds way better than the Yeti.

[@NotSirSnail]

The samson sounded way better, much better bass response as well.

[@LlfeMinecraft]

the people who use a yeti dont go on this because they know their mic is the best, and samson g track users want to go on this just to see if there fanboy mic is better

[@xArrowDynamic]

yeah but it picks up a lot of noise from my ceiling fan

[@monsour1900]

@@LlfeMinecraft true but fanboyism aside, when you analyze the frequencies for recording purposes, the G-Track Pro has more body and refined mids that come out naturally out of the box. If you're doing voice overs and podcasting work, the G-Track pro can likely do both well. The Yeti suits podcasts but won't be as good for voice overs.

Yo tambien.😀💯

[@bpfoley89]

To me the G-Track's cardioid sounds great, but the Yeti's other patters sound better than the G-track's others.

[@Maverick_Dewitt]

Very thorough analysis. Saw the Yeti on sale, and because I don't buy into hype, figured I'd loook up a solid comparison betweeen the Yeti and the Samson (since I've always used Samson microphones), and I've gottta say, I'm glad I did. I'm gonnna stick with upgrading to the G-Track in the future, seeeing as it fits my neeeds bettter. Anywho, thanks for the awesome video, and keeep up the goood work!

[@burntbyhellfire8524]

curious.. if you plug anything into the 1/4" jack on the back, can you hear it through the headphones? and if so, does it provide any amplification?

[@xHadesStamps]

@@burntbyhellfire8524 I believe the answers are yes and yes.

[@user-vz6rr7nw2l]

Hello, I've just got Samson G-track pro as a present:) Feel happy. Could you tell me what soft you use to get the mic and instrument written in individual mono tracks?

[@xHadesStamps]

@@user-vz6rr7nw2l He uses Logic. However, you can do that with just about any DAW if you use ASIO protocol (MME doesn't support it). On Windows, you'll need an ASIO driver (do *_NOT_* use ASIO4All. It's crap).

[@PJXay]

I liked the G-Track Pro better for the voice tests, but I preferred the yeti with the guitar tests.

[@reggiep75]

I pressed play from the email link without looking at the title and then thought 'Eh?' when I thought I heard G-Crack Pro and then thought that had to have been some great mic to be called crack! I would say the G-Crack Pro edged it tho.

[@alphxsomegxs8609]

I have a Samson G-Track Pro, I love it, and it never lets me down. If you're gonna go with a microphone, go with it for sure!

[@Podcastage]

Super stoked you’re happy with that mic!

[@xray111xxx]

I liked the Samson better too. I hate to say this. If they left out the instrument and mix ability and kept the sound and made the price the same as the Blue. Perfection. I don't need the mix or instrument support. But hey Samson thinks otherwise, so there you go. Great videos. I think you have the most captivating Mic vids I have seen so far. They are definitely not boring. Keep 'em coming!

[@serrael-182]

Its not a pro mic. If you wanna record music it doesnr work well. Alone because of the non existing drivers. Still it sounds so well... So yes youre right those extra functions are not really working for serious musicions so the could just left them out.

[@TheWilkReport]

Very tough choice to make between these two high-end microphones. I ultimately went with the Yeti in my preferred color scheme, but the Yeti Pro apparently is a bit of a step up in terms of recording quality and also has a port for XLR cable.

[@richvicpan]

I love your videos. It's very entertaining to analyze and compare. It's truly an art. You helped me pick the G track Pro over the Blue Yeti. Thanks!

[@nyacoustics8373]

wow great video. i like the touch with guitar being used because ill be using it for both voice meetings and guitar playing over the internet.

[@bobshultz7373]

That must be one of the best reviews I've even seen or heard on YT. You are amazing sir! Thank you! Love 'em both. Made my choice. Samson.

[@bubbatrex8323]

This was super helpful. I do not know much about audio but with your videos I get the confidence to make a good informed decision. That Blue Yeti seems like what I need. I currently use a Blue Snowball.

[@shanedeether]

I would go for the Yeti, since Samson doesn't have stereo mode, acoustic guitar sounds great with it! :) thanks for the comparison, pro channel!

[@thecanadiandavid600]

[@jakeydeefpv]

Oh good lord the first acoustic riff sounded amazing on the samson

[@rubensmith4576]

For me, Samson has a little more deeper sensation, perfect for voice act, but i've noticed it sounds little "plastic" sometimes, if that makes any sense, Blue Yeti in my opinion has a better neutral and natural sound, is cheaper and has 4 patterns...

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

I actually thought the Yeti had a better more fuller sampling of the acoustic guitar. The Samson seemed to remove the lower range which for me is what makes a acoustic guitar sound wonderful. I would go with Samson for voice. Yeti for quitar or singing. Very close testing otherwise.

[@davesmith5092]

Samson sounds great. The Yeti still sounds like a Yeti.

[@johnjackson8902]

I find the Yeti both harsh and a little boomy somehow. Like it has a noticeable high end (but so does almost every sub $300 mic) but it also sounds slightly like it's *poorly* (imo) coloured to have extra bass for a broadcast sound. The G-Track Pro is definitely a lot better sounding on cardoid mode and bi-directional mode. I think the Yeti has a slightly better performance in the omnidirectional mode. But I don't think that slightly better performance in omni is worth the clear superiority in both cardoid and bi-directional mode. Plus the G-Track Pro has a better sampling rate and the instrument input which I do think you'll want if you're recording instruments.

[@LlfeMinecraft]

nope

[@MarianIanchis]

Great review. Which microphone is better for recording music , Blue Raspberry or Samson G-Track?

[@LlfeMinecraft]

um we are talking about a blue yeti here not a raspberry but if you want instruments i recommend the blue yeti because it has a softer sound

Great video, made my choice easy!

[@Kelocyde]

[@ivanriobla]

Hi, Do you think the Samson Gtrack Pro is better than the ATT2020 for music ? that 24bit really makes a difference ?

[@XainesWorld]

I'm having a tough time deciding between the AT2035, Blue Spark Blackout SL and the Samson G-track Pro, I'm leaning toward the G-track as imo, it sounds better to me, but I think maybe the Spark would better suit my situation. I need it for Streaming and tutorial voice over, my current is a Neewer NW-700 so let's face it, all 3 are far better lol. Any thoughts? Happy to spend up to £200, or a little more if absolutely necessary

[@nickc8477]

What did you go with?

[@XainesWorld]

@@nickc8477 the AT 2035 paired with a scarlet solo, it's fantastic, improved my quality massively. A few other changes improved even more like general gain settings to keep the amp sounds out and talking very close but not directly into the mic to preserve vocal richness with the least echo and no popping. I've since recommended it to 3 friends who are also very happy with it

[@discountmuzakinc.7637]

What I ascertained from this vid is I need another Tele Deluxe '72. Every few years gotta do it again....

[@TakeOnMe5]

I noticed the pleasant Stereo mode of the Blue Yeti, which the Samson seems to lack.

[@hostelride758]

[@OneFlame]

According to Samson's email reply to me today - the Samson G-Track Pro microphone is NOT actually a 24bit / 96kHz microphone. On the off chance that this is a technical support training issue, could you please confirm (in windows sound) that it is actually being detected at 24bit / 96kHz, either single or two channel? There also do not appear to be any kernel mode drivers.

Hi Bandrew - absolutely love your channel and the fantastic, thorough reviews. Curious to get your opinion on choice between these mics for a specific scenario --> looking for just one mic to record me (guitar and vocals) plus another person (percussion) for quick youtube music videos. I love the sound and features of the Samson (e.g., line input), but would the stereo pattern on the Blue Yeti be better suited for this setup need? thanks!

[@TubeNewsMNE]

Can I just ask if you can make a video about SuperLux E205 USB Condenser Microphone you can find it on gear best

[@noahfox99]

Helpful video thanks

[@thebrayns]

The samson sounds clearer bc it takes less low end, and has a higher bit rate, but it gives a tad nasaly sound, especially when he was talking close to it, and when playing the guitar. The Yeti sounds good overall for both guitar and voice, with no proximity effect, and a nice low end precense

[@GX700]

Can you play some metal music next time you say "metal body...metal grill" ?

[@silvydb]

Im a bit of an audiophile X3 so if I were on a budget Id still go with the G-track pro. Only cause its clearer than the blue yeti and it seems to grab the voice better than the yeti does. To me the yeti just sounds too harsh. X3

[@johnjackson8902]

Silver Cobalt The G-Track Pro is pretty harsh too, but it's also very clear. The Yeti has a harshness that isn't helping clarity and seems to be coloured in the low end for a slight broadcast sound which doesn't help when it also has a harsh high end.

[@silvydb]

True true, Though i didnt really find the G-tracks highend to be that harsh...it could be better and id probably slap a nice foam filter over it. That would probably help it a lot. Plus if its anything like the regular G-track then youre supposed to be nice up close and personal with it.

[@Podcastage]

Yeah. People's ears will have very different opinions of these mics.

[@BlueFlame_l.o.g]

Super Dope review!!! hank you...you make awesome music, where can we find it?

[@SBinKMedia]

So here's the basics. Samson is overall better if you know what you're doing. Yeti might sound better out of the box though before any editing. The issue with Samson is that they don't have an officially supported shock mount, which makes it really hard to get professional recordings if you accidentely bump the table just a TINY bit. It picks up EVERYTHING.

[@danmagoo]

One problem with both is that the "cool-looking" desktop stands put the mic too far from your mouth (unless you are 4 feet tall) -- which creates the challenge of putting it onto a mic stand or boom arm that lets you comfortably adjust the angle. And it seems to me the G-Track Pro has the advantage of coming with a good adapter for that, while the Yeti just has the straight-up 5/8 in hole in the bottom. One of the things I dislike about the Yeti is that if you do take it off the desktop stand, it's hard to put it back in just right, with those little custom, curvy washers. (Also I think the Samson can go in a "normal" spider-type shock mount, while maybe the Yeti needs that Frisbee-sized, custom shock mount that Blue wants you to buy.) TLDR: The Samson mic gets points for being easier to use with a mic stand or boom arm, and/or with a shock mount. The comparison of the sounds is great, and should really help users decide. Great video.
