PLEASE HELP A NOOB RECORDER! i have a question that nobody seems to answer, and that is what mic is better, the samson c01u or the shure sm57? and to what extent? please reply thanks!
@CircuitSetSail It's not a question of which is better it's what you want to use them for. They are two completely different mics and you can't really compare them. The Shure would usually be used for live vocals whereas the Samson is better for recording voice or acoustic guitar etc.. You just need to work out which is better for whatever it is you want to do with it.
its not a 1 channel mic. You just have to balance the sound out in control panel. I have this exact same mic, and had the same problem. Just go to your control panel > click hardware sound > manage audio devices > then you find your device and right click and then > properties and then you balance out the sound. I use this mic for voice acting and lots of other stuff, and it works perfectly. Probably the Best Mic I've Bought! Everyone should buy this Mic, with a pop filter ofcourse.
@HipCovers mmm, not like this, condensers record more details in the sound, and about acoustics, its more about being cardioid, hypercardioid, directional, etc...
Very helpful review, thanks Imull3. Whats the stand like that comes with the mic please? Is it sturdy enough to clip a pop shield on it and more importantly is there space in which to clip pop shield on to?
im getting a lag on the playback to by headphones when I'm recording vocals. Big problem when I need to listen to myself when I record. anyone have a solution to this problem? I did some research and it seems the USB>DRIVEr has something to do with the lag.
Tip when recording your face with a video cam-er-uh. Have it point slightly down at your face. All the pro, 1337 vloggers do it. Makes them look supah sexy :)
when recording select the number of channels to mono. NOT STEREO - ex.19200 sampling rate and mono channel.
then when saving the audio recording save it as stereo, so that it'll automatically convert the audio into stereo. which means both left and right speakers will be playing the audio.
Then, if I were using a Boss br1600 standalone, non-pc-type all in one studio, I wouldn't have any way of plugging this in since it's for computer software only? If so is this mic available in traditional format? Thx for the demo.
@KiddMarqueeBitch I just won a used C01U package on eBay for $51, which is one of the lowest prices you can pay for it, particularly with everything in the package (though I'm not getting the software disc, not an issue for me though).
@jtzy23 This is a good thing... It's most likely recorded stereo. So if he were to move his head when he was talking and stuff you could tell. Mono is where it's just equal in both channels. all in all... I would go with stereo ;) You can use it to your advantage
@OSyTim if you need studio quality, it's great for that. it's basically made for podcasting and voice in general, so for what you do it would probably do pretty well. i'd suggest getting a pop filter if the mic is going to be close to your mouth at all. it's a damn good mic, but if it's overkill, then you could just turn it over and sell it again. i'd suggest getting it simply because it's built like a tank.
I have a problem with it, when I plug the mic & try to listen to my voice, I hear it a bit late :S & that is very annoying while singing & speaking, I tried the asio4all driver & brought it to the least possible, but nothing happens !! BTW I'm using M-audio audiophile 192 card....I'm on desktop pc using windows 7 & I hear it by going to playback devices--> recording--> Microphone--> listen & i click listen to this device....& i find the sound late.so, do you have any solution for this ?

@DontFearTheReaper1 that has nothing to do with the mic, that has to do with the software you use to record so it totally depends on what software you use. the windows sound recorder in windows vista and windows 7 does i think.
He man, I was wondering; where did you place the mic in regard to the amp? Did you turn your amp up or the mic (what is the sound volume)? Does it pick up distortion well? Lot of questions but I hope you can answer them! Thanks!
usb condenser mic?? wow.. so does it require phantom power ? need to plug it through a mixer or audio interface? Or just plug it straight to a pc since it is a usb condenser mic without the need of phantom power? if that is so then thats awesome!!
@JohnTeoCH USB is actually powered itself, so the power is provided by USB as well as input signal. the only interface needed is a USB port on a computer, but i'm sure USB mixers do exist somewhere. other then that, similar to HDMI, it's just a plug and play sort of thing. plug it in, make it default mic, and let a rip!
I use the co1u in all of songs! Check out my channel and listen to 'fallin' over' to hear what it sounds like! EVERYTHING IN MY SONGS IS MADE IN GARAGEBAND!
@NtvChannel Vista operator?....you mean Windows Vista "operating system"? yes, it is. microphones have such simple architecture electronically that you can plug them into pretty much any computer from 2000+ and it'll work. the price i can't quite remember, think it was around 100 or 150 at the time. was definately on sale tho. in the box was the mic in its packaging and a CD with some pretty terrible software on it, lol.
not a fan of this mic, podcasting is about as far as i'd take it, purely due to the amound of compression you can use when broadcasting over FM and get away with it. but for a reasonable price id be looking towards Audio Technica, MXL (if you're REALLY strapped for cash), Rode, or if cardioid only doesn't bother you, the AKG C214.
i have this mic and i use it to record vocals... it keeps on picking up ALOT of noise and stuff that is not wanted. do you know how i could lower the volume of ir or like the amount of noise it picks up? when i 1st got it, it wouldnt do that. please write back. THANKS!
If you want to record vocals into Protools ,garage band, sonar, sony acid, etc dont buy this mic the latency is way to high, and your vocals will be off tempo by several miliseconds. I own the mic and like the box says use it for podcasting and recording personal notes etc. I thought i came upon good deal by buying this mic I thought saved tons of cash by not having to buy a audio interface and standard condenser mic, wrong. I'm out a 100$ and I still have to buy a new mic and audio inter..
yes. audio equipment has been around long enough that the drivers for it are built into the operating system. it's the software you use to record that you gotta think about.

i just bought a samson C01U usb studio condensor and i am hooking it up when i plug it into the usb slot in the bak of the computer a bubble popps up which says one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfuctioned and windows does not recognize it but it should say found new hardware SAMSON C01U can someone please help me i just need to get this thing working and fast
ive tried recording using audacity and it sounds like a whisper. ive tried going to "Sound" on the Control Panel And turnig up the volume but its still quiet. HOw CAN i MAKE IT LOUDER?
on audacity the panels where the sond waves are shown there are little sliding volume controls on each panel at the left slide these up or down and to make it louder/quieter, also it depends where you place the mic to what your recording, and what mic you are using, if none of that helps then just turn up the speakers lol
I recommend getting it from zzzounds its around 99 i believe and sometimes free shipping. if you can afford the shock mount, mic stand, and pop filter I also recommend for higher quality and comfort.
i have that mic almost 3 years already i but the software frome samson is not compatible in that mic and when i use it in vocal recording its out of face but its still cool
if you hear buzzing that's probably the guitar amp. if you're talking about just like faint buzzing or something. but there's no static as far as i can tell. it could be your speakers, it could be audio drivers.i dunno, dude. i could send you the actual sound flie i recorded and it would be static free as far as i can tell.
that doesn't make any difference unless you have a CRT monitor. i had an LCD monitor there. CRT's give off a lot of electromagnetics causing buzzing in audio sometimes. what these people are hearing is nothing new. it's called amp fuzz. most if not all guitar amps produce it.
Anytime, yo let me ask you something, does your mic. like at random times pick up static? Idk if its when my pitch gets high or what. If you can help thanks. get back at me
i have this microphone and it seems very quiet. I have my microphone setting on 100 volume, i have microphone boost on full and also when i record with it on audacity the quality seems severely lessened. anyone know what a possible solution would be?
I had the same problem. I went into Control Panel, selected the Mic, selected properties... and turned that up. Maybe you've already done that, but that's what worked for me.
i cant hear myself when i talk into it.

the apex 440 looks a lot better and is a bit smaller.
also there is a led light within the metal mesh which gives it a cool blue glow in a dark room.
I use it to record my rap vocals, check out my recent videos to see what it sounds like.

viper1995 2 years ago
one channel mic he means you can only hear it from one speaker the right one only. or left one only. you dont hear it from both speakers.

@IceKingXxxRS
Naw, you can hear one channel through both speakers. Thats called mono. Its just a matter of routing the signal in your application.

i have the same problem as TellTheTruthRecords, when i try recording on audacity its proper quiet, and the sounds quality is affected.
J4f94 2 years ago
ive tried recording using audacity and it sounds like a whisper. ive tried going to "Sound" on the Control Panel And turnig up the volume but its still quiet. HOw CAN i MAKE IT LOUDER?
TellTheTruthRecords 2 years ago
on audacity the panels where the sond waves are shown there are little sliding volume controls on each panel at the left slide these up or down and to make it louder/quieter, also it depends where you place the mic to what your recording, and what mic you are using, if none of that helps then just turn up the speakers lol

Use audacity and normalize the sound. There's an option in effects to do so.

I 2 own the mic and i get the quality I expect using the correct programs and settings... Ive noticed that some programs make it sound 2 crappy.

I recommend getting it from zzzounds its around 99 i believe and sometimes free shipping. if you can afford the shock mount, mic stand, and pop filter I also recommend for higher quality and comfort.

why you talk it sound perfect i hear like a stadic noise when you play guitar why is that
producerboy29 2 years ago
if you hear buzzing that's probably the guitar amp. if you're talking about just like faint buzzing or something. but there's no static as far as i can tell. it could be your speakers, it could be audio drivers.i dunno, dude. i could send you the actual sound flie i recorded and it would be static free as far as i can tell.
lmull3 2 years ago
I bet you played your guitar in front of your computer monitor, and that's why the noise came in. Next time just turn off you monitor when recording=)
Thanks for your demo. Just got mine today, going to record something with it tomorrow. Keep on swingin' !
gbsnp123 2 years ago
that doesn't make any difference unless you have a CRT monitor. i had an LCD monitor there. CRT's give off a lot of electromagnetics causing buzzing in audio sometimes. what these people are hearing is nothing new. it's called amp fuzz. most if not all guitar amps produce it.

Try getting a Pop Shield- That will improve the vocals usually around £20 or something like $40
kylemonte1234 2 years ago

i have this microphone and it seems very quiet. I have my microphone setting on 100 volume, i have microphone boost on full and also when i record with it on audacity the quality seems severely lessened. anyone know what a possible solution would be?
J4f94 2 years ago
download softpre from the samson website
and play around with the controls for a bit
don't put it too loud the mic picks up sounds pretty far away got mine at 41 db lowcut 101 hz

I had the same problem. I went into Control Panel, selected the Mic, selected properties... and turned that up. Maybe you've already done that, but that's what worked for me.
