Samson C01U Pro Microphone Review - The Best USB Vocal Mic? (Unboxing & Test)

[@TORQ-1]

If you can't afford a shock mount and need one. You can actually get a T-shirt or something like that. Fold it to a small square where the microphone stand can stand on the shirt. The shirt will pick up all of the vibrations.

[@darkautumnstories5834]

I read stories and do voice acting. I used to have a RODE NT-1 but then I lost my job due to illness so trying to get back on my feet again. Ordered this today from Amazon and I'll get it tomorrow =)

[@ethanonstandby8024]

Captain Goeby can you give me a comparison between the RODE NT-1 and this this microphone?

[@calvinmccarthy4222]

Is this microphone better than the blue snowball

[@CassieNL]

PLEASE ANSWER- QUESTION: I have this mic and really want to use it for my videos that I record from my iphone 5S. I have an Apple USB3 lightning to camera adapter but do you know if the mic itself is compatible with iphone recordings? (I assume I'd have to have an app that would allow it... but I need to make sure the mic will work first). Thanks so much!

[@shaem482]

What levels should I set this mic on in windows sound?

[@FERCONECTA]

I bought this mic recently and is the best I've had !

[@justinspirational]

is this one of the better mics for picking up great bass. low frequency sounds/voice overs?

[@Besnardm]

Did you edit your audio? removed the background noise in any way? Just wondering so I know what I exactly get.

[@HandyAndyTechTips]

No, I don't usually use noise gates/NR on my speech; it's just recording > single band compressor > hard limiter. Actually, if anything, this process (dynamic compression) should amplify any background hiss, not reduce it.

[@Besnardm]

ok thanks

[@InvincibleMan99]

I want to record my video while singing songs. Will this mic be fine for that ? Please also suggest how to record video along with audio ?

[@RM25500]

im also looking for somthing to recording my songs but confuse witch one is gu microphone or digital voice recorder..😊

[@thetechegg8859]

Prashant Sahni sup

[@chrismostert4049]

Thanks, what microphone would you propose for classical music recording form a phone, with an external microphone? lets say 5m away from performance or further.

[@realbuckwell]

Does it work with a lisp?

[@bronyfan4431]

u re too THE BEST reviewer!!!! Beause u put original subtitles in your video, +1!!

[@zeppelin1qaz]

Will this condenser microphone be accurate to use with Dragon naturally speaking or will a dynamic microphone be better?

[@thebusinessfirm9862]

Nice review. Good on you, mate .

[@babuenbarr1707]

if anyone uses this mic with a mic arm could you give me a link to the mic arm so i know they will be compatible

[@justinwaymanmusic]

Enbarr same

[@barttieofficial]

is this mic output only for monitoring my vocal or is this also a computer audio output?

[@joseignaciofara7290]

Hola! soy de Argentina. Tengo un micrófono SAMSON C01U y quería saber si hay alguna posibilidad de conectarlo a una tablet o mobil con android 5.1.1 GRACIAS!

[@lucio4578]

Does it sound the same when it's unedited? (for livestreams for example)

[@w2msa]

Besides mic monitoring can you hear laptop output at same time like if you were singing along with music.

[@MeYou-fv1ls]

go check on tutorials on how to set it up right

[@zFreaky]

hey do you know how is called the adapter under the microphone.... not the usb... i mean the hole under the mic .... cause im trying to find a cable with aux instead of usb

[@thisisritzy]

xlr

[@Yazminerfic]

Is it better than the Audio Technica ATR2500?

[@totyshy]

thank you so much, really good review, you tell me everything i want to know like and suscribe!

[@Pedro-gy4ht]

Was your room noisy? I found the noise a bit loud, which I didn't see in other videos. Then I was in doubt

[@justinwaymanmusic]

Pedro he amplified sound in post production which made it sound noisier

[@Liptox_]

Thank you!

[@julioperez3936]

Does this mic can be used for saxophone recording

[@stevenkawe2364]

hi, i have a question, i have a problem just like in your video in minute 1.52.. about clipping.. if i record my vocals for a cover song and i take a high voice or lil bit screaming it'll sounds like in you video minute 1.55 , how to fix it pls.. thank you..

[@stevenkawe2364]

btw, i use samsons c01u.. do i have to set something like gain or mid, high or any equalization.. thank you

[@thetheoryv1233]

hey quick question here please. does this microphone need a 48v phantom power like floureon bm-800 mic, or is it just plug and play???

[@patchycb]

The Theory V12 plug and play it's usb powered :P

[@ihaveanewchannelhahaha9395]

Will it work with ps4?

[@mapachemaestro8035]

Thank you so much from Spain.

[@nikhilvanam5532]

HandyAndy do you know bajaao.com, an online instrument selling website in India. I found your video there and I have a doubt can I connect this to the mixer and get an output to my PA by using any converters?

[@abdousifelhak4486]

this mic doesn't need an external sound card (phaton) , right ?

[@justinwaymanmusic]

abdou sifelhak nope, it’s a usb mic!

[@pietreetreepie]

Are there any issues if used on a windows 10 pc? :3 i have heard that there were some issues. I dont know if the issue is already fixed...

[@HandyAndyTechTips]

I don't think so. I use mine on a Windows 10 PC, recording into the latest Adobe Audition, and it's working really well.

[@pietreetreepie]

@@HandyAndyTechTips thanks!! 😊

[@lighttigerproduction2426]

can we use it with amplifier

[@Gilotopia]

Can you also record from the 3.5mm headphone output?

[@kozuta8858]

@Kal Reynolds lol

[@MrLinvalT]

Hi should I buy this microphone with a pop filter in order to record my voice ?

[@2ciquetune117]

MrLinvalT yes, whenever you record vocals, you should always record with pop filter to reduce pops from p's and any excess gush of air going inside the microphone

[@brunogomes3259]

Hi I just got one of these.. but in the box it says that it contains a chemical named DEHP that can lead to fertility problems and others ..should I be worry about it ..should I switch mic..or all the other mics probably have it too but I just don't say it at the box??

[@berro0511]

if you dont eat the plastic you got nothing to worry about . lol.

[@jujubear6719]

How do we record our vocals?

[@cavidhummatov4431]

how to connect it to android, is there any way? I want to record my voice through it while singing on smule app

[@iamlmx]

Cavid Hummatov i don't think there's a way to connect this mic to mobile devices.

[@ChenHsiPawrentsLife]

Cavid Hummatov buy a OTG kit

[@javierjg4733]

It works with mobile devices I have one

[@diannebuenaventura29]

Javier JG how to connect it

[@Fethennour]

How close do you have to get to the mic ?

[@HandyAndyTechTips]

+Bren Turnerさん Not too close, I usually have it about 20cm (8 inches) from my mouth. I think it picks up more bass when you have it closer to the sound source, which is what I found when I was recording my acoustic guitar.

[@Fethennour]

HandyAndy Tech Tips Noted. Thank you.

[@theonlyjarrod3635]

That 'bassy' sound you're talking about is called the 'proximity effect'. This works on condenser microphones, and works by moving closer towards the mic which increases the presence of the lower frequencies, given that much deeper response.

[@heavenCSGO]

Does it pick up a lot of noises (not vibrations)?

[@HandyAndyTechTips]

+HEAVEN Nope, it's surprisingly good at masking ambient noise. In fact, I actually recorded the audio for one of my other videos when it was raining hard, and my room's right near a window. Surprisingly, you really couldn't hear any water-like noises in the background. One thing I should tell you though: the noise floor is relatively high. It's around -50dBFS when the audio's peaking at 0. But if you don't speak too quietly, you should be OK.

[@heavenCSGO]

That's what I don't really like - noise floor. But with gate it will be okay I guess. Thank you!

[@mapachemaestro8035]

Should i buy a Pop Filter too? A Spider? Or just the Mic?

[@heavenCSGO]

Las Lecturas del Señor Búho Just the mic works well, you don't need a pop filter if you're not talking straight to the make, but if you do - then you need one.

[@mapachemaestro8035]

Thank you so much for the answer, bro.

[@ChehabYakoot]

does it work with week laptops?

[@TheMNHShow]

Staliissis T.F. You are great

[@princesays6189]

Is This Mic Good For Record Song ??

[@ZoukkiZoke]

hey, I just got this microphone and already tried using the headphone jack but for some reason my headphones starts making some kind of static noise when connected, even if all the windows sounds are disabled and for some reason using my earbuds(marshall mode) the noise is louder and some high frequency or low frequecy sounds are quieter depending on the jacks position. [EDIT] is this supposed to be normal? otherwise the microphone seems to be working fine

[@Fabian-sg5ts]

your headphones may have a problem

[@HOTTESTHERE]

So i got this mic and it is great, quality is awesome (BUT). Ok so i know this mic is meant for audio recording but as my senheiser headphone does not have a mic i need a desk mic and since this was super cheap on massdrop and i heard they were great i got these for chatting with my friends over mumble and skype. The only issue is that they pick up even the tiniest noises especially irritating is my mechanical keyboard. Before this i had a cheap logitech desk mic with 3.5mm jack and i used the included asus noise reduction software that came with my motherboard which worked great sadly that does not work with usb devices so now i was wondering if anyone knows of a substitute program?

[@HandyAndyTechTips]

+Jimmy Karlsson Well, if you were wanting to reduce noise in a recording, then I'd recommend Audacity. It's free and open source; download it at audacityteam.org/ Then, once you've got it installed, record something, then go into the Effect menu and click "Noise Removal". But: since you're wanting to do it "live", then I'm not quite sure what to suggest. Maybe you could try software called "Virtual Audio Cable", which allows you to capture system audio, then run the output of that through a noise reduction plug-in.

[@midnightchannel111]

... and, are you * recording * this video using this mic? You never say...

[@mr_clutchy7533]

does it work with ps 4

[@ataysgrtmac5864]

LTUniverse you wont need something like this for gaming

[@ntnlaaron770]

but you can :)

[@ataysgrtmac5864]

Aaron Media Production​ well if you have money why not lol

[@ntnlaaron770]

yeah XD

[@THEREDBARON777]

any programs you recommend for editing the audio to make it sound smoother?

[@regisbabytisay63]
