I have all the best USB microphones, I collect them. I like most of them, but a couple of them I never use. After buying the Samson G-Track Pro I feel like packing away all my other microphones in the attic. I can't imagine needing a better sounding microphone for my home studio recordings. It's amazing, and I've been using it exclusively since I purchased it.
@danmagoo5 жыл бұрын
My favorite hack for raising up the G-Track Pro (or, for less enlightened users, the Yeti :^)) is to set it on top of a round plastic case that comes with a spindle of blank DVD or CD disks. The shape and size are perfect (choose a 25- or 50-disk set, depending on your height and posture), it's convenient, it even has a little ridge around the top edge to keep the mic from sliding off, and it won't scratch your desk.

This is the Mic I have that I've been using for all of my streams and videos for almost a year now and I have loved it. Have a yeti as well but I actually like the sound of my Samson G-Track better. Gives a lot more clarity to my voice versus the Yeti. And it stays in place better as well. Excellent review! I highly recommend this Mic as well!

@oldsoulnewtech44513 жыл бұрын
@@mariecarolainefamero2807 I have loved mine so far, still use it almost daily and it has performed well. I have used it for some light vocals and guitar once for a podcast but that has been my only use for music with it so I can't attest to it always being good forusic. But I will say my experience with it for the live performance was good, it sounded clear and didn't clip out on the louder bits. But it has a lot to do with the setup as well. I would say overall yes, I would still reccomend it, and it was about $20 cheaper than I had paid for mine the last time I seen it at Best Buy, so that's another plus. I will say I did have an issue once a few months ago with the mute button not working once when I muted myself but after unplugging it and reconnecting, it worked correctly again and I have yet to have that happen again since.

I have the G Track Pro and agree it is an amazing mic especially when you consider the price and the fact you can two track a vocal and instrument without the need for a USB interface. It’s truly amazing, I also have the new Samson CL8a and wow - even better vocal quality (but needs a USB interface) and also more $. Samson makes some quality products and these are excellent examples.

@radiozelaza5 жыл бұрын
Lately I have changed the mic positioning to aim more at the region between the mouth and the upper chest - then not only breaths are minimized, but also mouth clicks which I produce aplenty because of my strange Neanderthal jaw shape. The top end is reduced so if I try to compensate with EQ, the noise may be too enhanced, so I'd rather reduce low mids to increase clarity. This is the mic positioning used on movie sets with shotgun mics, so maybe it's better to equip oneself with a more directional mic anyway, than a standard cardio

Turn both hardware and software gain minimum, then get the mic's side input area close to your face (like, within 3 inches) and start recording (e.g. with audacity) and talking into your mic with the voice level you intend to have when using the mic. Watch the levels and slowly increase the software gain until it's between -12db and -6db. This will give you the best "pre-filter" outcome. For me this gets rid of my desktop sounds almost entirely and the rest is easy to remove using a noise removal filter without messing up the audio too much.
