Samson G-Track Pro Review - Best USB Microphone Money Can Buy!

[@KaganTech]

At 5:15 I called the pop filter "shock mount" please forgive me. LMAO For more microphone reviews: kzbin.info/aero/PLJm12wueC77ubmr922E3eNRGgIjgRXWWi

[@socrayhte]

Omo this thing put the Blue Yeti on the heavy run o

[@KaganTech]

There is a tendency for it to be a little loose, yes.

[@braylon_hunt]

is this good for gaming?

[@mihavargan3116]

Where do l found this pop filter shock mount ???

[@friedchickenistasty]

Hey Kagan, did you ever get around to purchasing the shock mount for the G-Track Pro? I am currently using a setup that's requiring a boom arm as I just don't have the desk space available to let it sit in it's included desk stand. Also if you could suggest a good boom arm for this because the weight is a little bit of a concern for the cheaper boom arms for me.

[@VincentDM1]

Probably the best review of a product I've seen so far ! And on top of that, I'm now sure to go for this G Track Pro

[@KaganTech]

Wow. What a huge compliment. Thanks!

[@g-track5065]

Oh G- Track is a beast I got my name from this mic as you can see!

[@TechOverWatch]

An all in one microphone with an interface, wow...

[@KaganTech]

Why making the switch was so easy. Thanks for watching bro!

[@imaadh]

The quality of this video is great. You deserve many more subscribers.

[@KaganTech]

Thank you.

[@TheDementedSig]

Did not regret getting this mic. Thanks for this helpful review.

[@KaganTech]

Glad I could help!

For a second i thought i saw "Samsung". Dope video as usual🙌

[@KaganTech]

I like the pass through thingy going on here. Seems to be a very nice mic. Nice video brother.

[@KaganTech]

It is ooo. Thanks a lot for watching.

[@oscarmini]

That pop filter tho. 😍

[@KaganTech]

LMAO... It actually looks pretty nice.

[@miapettway8731]

Thanks. I was looking for a podcast mic with an option of extra features without taking up my desk space. After my purchase I want some other options as I wanted to add other equipment options. Honestly, I use the input to add calls to my podcast with my phone or music from another source. Good Review!

[@KaganTech]

Glad I could help!

[@valorreviews]

Honestly it's not expensive for the quality.. nice video as always.

[@KaganTech]

Danke brother!

[@Dyl_Cam]

I have had a Blue Yeti, Blue Yeti Nano, Samson G-Track Pro, and an AT2020 usb. Currently I use the AT2020, buts it's a close tie between that and the G-track, the G-Tracks controls and audio in are very helpful, but I find once I adjust everything I won't need the knob know too much, since I can just change it in voice meter. But forget about a blue yeti yall, fr lmao. I kinda wish I still had the G Track and would sell my At2020 for one if I got the chance, but I'm satisfied with what I have now. G Track was the only mic I've had that made people constantly say how good my mic sounds and what kind is it lolol

[@brianginn1993]

What I appreciate most is you actually using the mic from beginning to end. All the other reviews did not. Tells me you really like this mic. Great content.

[@KaganTech]

Brian Ginn beyond liking the mic, it just feels totally wrong to me reviewing a microphone while using another one the entire time. Strikes me as odd. Thanks a lot for watching.

Nice review, thanks, it helped with my decision to purchase it, arrived today and is a lot better than the Blue Yeti X I've just sent back!

[@KaganTech]

I’m so happy I could help!

[@-musiclee-]

i REALLY wish it had a stereo 1/8" input as well :-) or a dual mono, stereo 1/4"

[@KaganTech]

Ha, that might be asking a little too much lol. It's still only a USB microphone you know...

[@-musiclee-]

Kagan ye but if it did. Oh man. I’d pay $199 for that. Would love to record stereo into it. Imagine the possibilities.

[@lloydchristmas4547]

I've been sitting on this mic for days now. I may get it if I can find an arm that it fits. Thanks for the review.

[@BigRobEnergy]

Seems like every time I get loud with this mic, it distorts, then I see people with the Shure SM7B yelling directly it on the mic and it doesn’t peek at all. Is it possible to be able to do that with my Samson? Get loud af with no peaking? Haha

[@KaganTech]

You can maybe turn down the volume of the general pick up so you are not peaking at your loudest. Or you can run the mic into your DAW with a limiter and compressor on. Quite easy.

[@MarcasAndrews]

Great and thorough review! Nice job!

[@KaganTech]

Thank you!

[@sinatra7407]

In the review could you also disclose the place of manufacture as I think it is also very important in making a purchase decision.

[@scottbecker3485]

Nice, lucid overview - thanks. And special thanks for your remarks about the pop filter I was just considering buying to go with my G Track Pro now on its way to me. Will reconsider that, though I really like/prefer the form factor of the suboptimal Samson offering. But if it doesn‘t do the job well, then what‘s the point, eh?

[@limesox.420.69]

it's so pretty I wish I needed it, but I just need something for spoken word with great noise cancellation so I'm going with the Samson q2u

[@limesox.420.69]

excellent video quality

[@michaelhoffmann510]

Haha, just bought this thing and waiting for it to arrive... Thanks for confirming my decision! ;D

[@stoniegadg3t-music345]

Shock mount,. THORMAX Boom Arm,. THORMAX Works also for Blue Yeti... & Samson G Track PRO

[@LWRC]

Great review! Actually, with the quality of the audio that is coming from this microphone at the distance you had it in the video, the pop filter is really not necessary. The speaking distance from you to the mic was far enough that any popping sounds is really not an issue. The clarity and crispness of the audio is unbelievable at this price level.

[@nanos195]

can you adjust background audio by chance? im looking for a mic that doesnt pick up much background noise, great video by the way!

[@KaganTech]

You can use cardioid mode which basically picks up sound only directly in front of the capsule.

[@xPRxMEx]

It looks and sounds like a great mic. But I would love for u to test and review the Apogee HypeMic

@@KaganTech Im from India, I found this product not offering any warranty in amazon. Can you guide any other option with similar mic.....for making music video....will be a great help

[@FcpReaper]

I have this microphone and it is very user friendly. Unfortunately the MOTU® AudioDesk® recording software code that came with it didn't work for some reason. I suspect someone already used the code. I did also buy Auray WCF-UB440 Foam Windscreen for Large Diaphragm Condenser Mics from B&H to go on this microphone. The base is very sturdy and I did buy a shock mount for when I get my desk set up so I can use a boom arm to have it up off the desk. I use this for my streaming of games and my KZbin Channel. I do have a slight echo but I know I need to do some sound proofing to my room. Great review.

[@JLBREMER]

Great review! I think I might get this on my lunch break. Seems like it has everything I need! Sounds great.

[@DeepakKumar-lv4te]

[@ekiamedia2403]

Yo man. Do you perhaps use Studio One. I have the same mic but I find it does not work very well with Studio One with it's native Audio driver.

[@KaganTech]

I don't... but I'm assuming studio one is just another music software. In which case... your problem is probably with the software.

[@ekiamedia2403]

​@@KaganTech Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I take it that the problem lies with Studio One as I have noticed that Studio one does not excepts audio drivers such as MME or WASAPI, which work well with the G Track Pro as it is evidence with Audition. However I use Audition only for Audio clean up and nothing else. My vocal recordings are all done with Studio One. I can of cause use Asio4All but then again it is not very stable with windows platform. I have contacted both Presonus Studio One and Samson and made them aware of the shortcoming but so far with no reply. Hopefully they will still get back to me. It could be great if bSamson could develop and Asio driver for their mic, just as much as it could be great if Studio one could allow more audio drivers to work with their DAW. But thanks again.
