Samson C01U Microphone Review

[MyTilted]

lol ofcourse i went and google "circle in front of mic, paused the video 3 sec before he started explaining it >.< im a retard

[AdriemOFFICIALtv]

passate dal mio kanale e sentite kome si sentono le musike kon quel microfono ;)

[TheCheeseWeel]

@donner93 yes

[TheCheeseWeel]

@Donner93 yep!

[TheCheeseWeel]

The Samson Go Mic is cheaper, and almost just as good. it's only about $50, but if you have the $150, buy the C01U

[Donnner93]

@TheCheeseWeel So I can use this as a skypemic if I want to? So I don't need a program to get this mic up and running I guess? I just plug it into the USB and change the mic settings and dada?

[califreshest]

[vts101]

[callofdutymodernw3]

@thisxisxaxstickxup Ok go to your sound option on control panel and click on audio device, but the volume sentivity up to hear more sound or lower to hear just your voice and nothing else. try it if you have windows, i have this microphone and i really enjoy the quality of this good value computer microphone. if you have windows.

[NiggaGetsFlee]

[bleedblueindia2011]

mine picks up too much way too much backgorud noise. any clue?

[mrDeffBeatz]

how come your mic isn't picking up any background noise? :s

[singhername]

How come it picks up background noise when I`m recording but none with you?

[TheGamersGod]

Help me out here guys:

I wanna buy this microphone, but I am not entirely sure, so what do you guys think? Is the microphone good, I mean, some people said it's the worst microphone ever and others say it's the best. People also say it doesn't work and it's software doesn't work.

[Bakerboy590]

@TheGamersGod I would definitely get this microphone! I mean obviously its not as great as a real professional mic used in recording studios, but it sounds great and is a sturdy build. The software is okay but if you want a better one, just download a torrented version of a professional app. The software works well, if you have common sense you can figure it all out quickly and record after like 5 min setup. Cheers

[AbNormlTunes1]

thanks for the good reveiw, i am going to invest in one.

[TheGamersGod]

Why disrespect this guy? Thanks for the review m8. Don't mind the trolls!

[PIMPL0RD1]

you look like 12 years old...

[coocoohead99]

does the mic screw into the shockmount?

[nbamir3]

How come mine doesnt even sound as near as this ?....Someone help

[bigdak54]

D-Pryde uses this mic :)

[Rockerz916]

JYUkulele

[SeinMC1]

[mariokarter61295]

"It feels good in your hand and you know there's stuff inside of it working really good"? Need I say any more?

@bloodmonk1234 lmao

[Sambbab]

@bloodmonk1234 winning =D

[BCPCX]

Don't this intro song is like the indy mogul 1st season intro?

[ztyson86]

did your mic come with sonar LE? if so are you familiar with it? i don't know how to select a certain portion of my track, every time i try it wants to select the entire track, and another thing, does LE have a noise gate???

[RDMNC]

your door closed just by it self! O.o at 5:46 ///

[UmpaEG]

dude - I have just bought this microphone. There is NO WAY to make this mono mic in to stereo - what you have done is to create 2 channel mono.

[geocine]

your internal microphone is louder than your samson

[R0NHARRELL]

can you use that mic for deathmetal?

[gwb911]

i's in ur houze L00king @ ur shoez!!! ...sorry couldn't help myself. oh yea, that mic is cardioid pickup pattern since i owned mine, not figure of 8, probably gonna sound a little livelier if u send sounds at it top-down, not side ways...

[OfficialBrianMusic]

how do i record with this mic in adobe audition idk how to use it?

[RapperJimmyJames]

Thank you for your video i plan on buying this asap. Thank you again for your help.

[finalcutfan]

Yo, im trying to record on the mic and it is very quiet like you said 3:26 how did you troubleshoot that. I have used it before with no problems I dont know why it's doing it all of a sudden. Let me know thanks!!

[boagley1]

Good presentation, and good product...

But dude... It's a UNI directional mic. You NEED to be in FRONT of the mic to get sound. And CLEAN YOUR ROOM! lol

CHEERS!

[rockdrummer1011]

It's good for recording my drums, because I turn the volume down to like 20 and it sounds good (Because my drums are loud anyway, check out my cover vids to see) but it's crap for recording anything normal volume. It's crap for recording a guitar or voices, because you need to turn up the volume, and you get all background noise and it just sounds like a built in mic. If you wanna record drums or a loud instrument, it's fine.

[refused]

i have one and it makes a retarded hiss noise.. how did you stop it?

[melissamedina84]

I sing and have a terrible microphone. I really have no idea what mic to buy. My main problem with my mic that I have now is that you can hear me breathing and any other noise in the background. Is this mic good for singing? I dont want to buy something that is not going to work. Does it change the sound of your voice very much? Thank you so much. =)

[dsta123]

Thanks for taking the time to share this - I bought this about a year ago, and then got sick (throat cancer). I am going to be using the mic to assist me getting my voice back to normal - or at least normal for me.

[joeinferno23]

Hi could I just use this to sing to my mp3. . like when u speak into it or whack it can u ere the noise m8??

[BryanBlaz]

how to monitor sound threw your speakers with the samson CO1U....with "near zero" latency....and without asio4all

[frecklehero]

can you attatch a cammera to the mic so that the audio and video is in sync? or is there a way to get the video in sync... Thanks. Im new in this kind of stuff! :)

[edwardslynch]

Hey I bought one without the USB cable because it was used. what type of usb cable does it use, like male-a to female-b,/ male -a to female-a , etc???? THX

[johnouk55]

how are u gonna compare a real mic to a comp mac???? just saying... good stuff though

[AlexTheAverageKid]

nice Famous hat :)

[sonnyb218]

i got the same mic..and i had for about 5 or 4 months..and when i first start using it..it sounded great..but now when i use it i can here lots of static coming from it..and ever time i used i had my wind screen on it..idk what to do

[jibran1]

is it good for recording RAP songs

[JGCPRODUCTIONZ419]

@jibran1 since he wont answer u...ya u can record rap with it

[kibucha93]

kurwa nie chwal go tak cioto.

[Tomahawk1505]

Ive noticed your sat right next to the mic. I want this to record my singing, but from a distance of around 3ft because I want to play keybard simultaniously. would this mic still perform well?

[dindush1]

I have the Line 6 POD Studio, will it connect to the MIC input? USB?

I don't know much of microphones but I do want one for sound acting for movies.

[crips003]

hey..ive got 1 of them but im having problems,, can u help me..???  its just delayed everytime i speak.. how can i fix it.?

[nixbaines]

Hey, I am thinking of getting this Mic so i can record myself singing/playing covers of songs and upload them onto youtube. With this mic, d'ya think you could suggest an equally resonably priced video camera to go along with it, most vid cams ive tried their built in mics arent that amazing, but with this I reckon It'd be a winning combo. Thanks.

[LilEinsteinMusicTv]

where do your headphones connect to?

[HakerzTM]

Hey Nice Mic, If You Don't Use It Anymore Or Got A New better Mic, Could You Please Send It To Me? I Do A Lot Of Podcast And Video Tutorials And My Mic Is Really Bad And Has A Lot of Background Noise, So Please Man If You Don't Use it Anymore Please Send It To Meeee! :)

[sk8ersferlife]

are you using a MAC computer. because the other video that you did on changing mono to stereo or the other way around. it did not help. because if you are using a MAC i need to see the original screen and show where and what part to go. so hope you respond back soon.

[Merts478]

I got the same mic like 3-4 years ago. Now, that I have Windows 7 the generic driver is not working. If anyone can help me work this thing please do. I am using Adobe Audition 1.5 back when I had WIndows XP installed.

[PMVTutoriales]

@Merts478

I use it on win 7 and works fine

[thexoor]

Brilliant, just picked one up myself. Thanks mate.

[A2XAlex]

Very good review, although, when you demonstrated the P sounds it made a pop sound, I think I will get a pop filter with mine

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Do you ever use a pop guard with yours?

[BossMoneyRecords502]

Alright Need Some Help? Anyone Can Help..Im Trying To Choose Between the Samson C01U That One My Homies Offering 70 For And I Was Going To Buy It But Im Not Forsure cause i have adobe audition and i dont want my fans to be hearing our music out of one ear or one headphone..then i want the mxl 990 condensor mic but idk what cto plug it up to i know a mixer wit phantom power but im looking for something cheap..Help?

[TruGraphix]

How come the internal is so much louder than the c01u?

[TheKingRaps]

@TruGraphix well theres many reasons, maybe he doesnt know how to turn it up, maybe the batteries are dieing(its a amplified mic that needs batteries)

[urgaybro]

do you need phantom power?

[FrieleG]

@urgaybro No, it's a USB microphone, dude.

[Markypizz]

Just bought this and I love it! One of the greatest purchases I have made

[juniormcrfan]

I watched this video all the way through since I wasn't completely sure if I wanted to ask my mom to pay that much money for a computer microphone. Now, I know that I definitely want it! I like the fact that is doesn't require a pop filter and it doesn't pick up all the air movement or fizzy sounds in the background. This is extremely important to me because I'm an amateur voice actor hoping to make it big someday, so microphone quality is extremely important. Thanks so much for the review!

[computerhelper303]

great videos!

[computerhelper303]

the shock mount works good

[computerhelper303]

i want to know if i can monitor this microphone on my computer?

[computerhelper303]

i just ordered the shock mount and the stand for a pretty good deal, cool video

[cdivas]

Hey, i am also having the problem that my mic records too low. How did you fix it?

Thank you

[theSCclub]

[Eastsidesfinest2]

[AlejandroMuzic4You]

if you were to makin a song with this mic what would you put the volume of the C01U ?

[SubJuiced]

I don't know. you'd have to mess around and find the right volume for you.

[viper1995]

[iFlickTV]

@viper1995 yea it is irecord all my songs using this

[beepbopdop]

it seriously only costs like $70

[sicknquick323]

can i get it like at best buy??

[beepbopdop]

i bought it for like either $70 or $80,

and yeah you can buy it from best buy, that's where i got mine.

funny, it's like in the karaoke section of the store, next to a bunch of shitty cheap mics, but the c01u is actually really good.

[sicknquick323]

haha thats funny

do u have any idea of how much the

co3u cost??

[beepbopdop]

nope sorry, i don't but it should be pretty easy to find out lol Google is your friend.

[sicknquick323]

is the how much is the co3u ist good for rapping??

[aaron4801]

Nice Review. how much is it?

[whattttAbitch]

oh okay. question answered. thanks alot! :D

[whattttAbitch]

okay. so if i wanted to record vocals and video at the same time with my camera, the quality would be the same as before, without the mic?

[SubJuiced]

no. it would be better with this mic then it was before.

[whattttAbitch]

pc. dell laptop, with no built in webcam.

[SubJuiced]

oh. then I don't know any other way of doing it. sorry, I only know macs.

[whattttAbitch]

oh, so the sound my camera would pick up would be the sound from my pc speakers from the mic right? instead of just recording on the camera? any ideas how to record a good quality video along with the vocals?
