[moesnuts]

Will this work on an iPhone 4?

[sonic4sale]

This mic is amazing quality for making reviews for youtube.

[kameronhurst]

How do you have the Go Mic connected to the stand?? PLZ HELP ME!! I need a stand solution.

[OhMyMariel]

I'm not sure if anyone knows anything about the Blue Snowball microphone, but I'm trying to decide between that and this Samson Go Mic. I cannot choose between the two, and am wondering which, overall has the best sound quality.

[ACEBOOM06]

[ACEBOOM06]

sir can i use this mic to record my rap songs??? cuz this is cool i dont need mixer anymore :)

[SunnyShawFilms]

how much the system cost the one you using, not the go mic

[Bawoo]

Any comparison with the Blue Snowflake?

[hayden50]

fantastic review, i just ordered one.....

[micromantismusic]

Great Review! But much interesting is the REAL setup you use. I mean The great darkgrey studiomic and all the equipment. Can you please tell me more about your setup? Which mic, preamp, channelstrip or comressor eq whatever. From In to Output. Because it sounds pretty well recorded =)

Many thanks!

@micromantismusic Thanks for the comment

This was recorded 'dry', since it's a USB device. Our processing chain for pro XLR mics ONLY, include Aphex 230s and an Aphex 2020MkIII. ...for this video, all processing was bypassed and the mic was plugged directly into USB.

A few things to consider:

* The recording was done in a sound dampened studio

* I did record low (about -12db) and then normalized to avoid clipping

These things aside, no processing, eq or altering was done.

[micromantismusic]

@NewMediaGear Thanks for the reply. Ok, you have on the right the little GoMic, but which one is it on the left which you usually use? =)

[ACEBOOM06]

[ACEBOOM06]

@NewMediaGear can i use this to record my rap songs???

[Bullet82SWE]

[ZPGaming]

The mic sounds great, I'm just having a hard time knowing which switch is which. xD *Reads the instructions*

[jaroncreed]

is this a good mic for documentary Voice Overs?

[lungstruck]

Excellent look at the GoMic!

[MODCraftCAST]

how good is it if you want to record instruments ???

[jcurtman]

Thanks for this review. I think I am going to get one of these to do interviews on the run. This is one of the best reviews on this I have seen.

[NewMediaGear]

@jcurtman

Thank you. We hope you enjoy the videos ...and the audio shows on NewMediaGear.

[PurBakVideo2]

Do you have an Auto-Tune on your voice?

[NewMediaGear]

@PurBakVideo2

No auto-tune used in any of our production.  ...mostly because we don't have one in the studio.

[comedyliker12]

Wow! Thats awesome quality for such a cheap mic!

[tsironakos]

The sound of the GoMic is a little bit poor.

[HakerzTM]

The The Exact Name Of The "Big Large Mic"?

[rocksystem132]

Have you tried the H4 next handy recorder?

[RainbowTapir]

Would the GoMic be okay for aspiring (but amateur) singers/songwriters? I know there are better ones, but I really can't afford much - do you think it would be worth it, or should I wait a while until I can afford a better one?

[SuziScandalous]

Hi,

I'm an aspiring voice actress and singer and i have been looking at this mic and and the blue snowball mic to help get me started. Would you recommend this mic for said uses?

[NewMediaGear]

@SuziScandalous

The GoMic is a great add-on to use as an alternative to your laptops built-in microphone.

Having said that and having a choice between the 2 - I would start off with the Snowball. It has a higher quality element.

...just my opinions, but I hope it helps!

[webmatros]

@NewMediaGear I've had the Snowball and sold it again. It has a bump in the mid-range that gives it a metallic unpleasant sound. It is also a bit noisy. The Rode Podcaster is a wonderful USB mic and has a mic pre amp as well.

This little Go Mic sounds good though! (judging from the video)

[SunnyShawFilms]

@SuziScandalous are you singer ?

[chriswillb]

Is it normal that there's hiss in my earphones when i'm monitoring through the 3.5mm socket on the mic?

[NewMediaGear]

@chriswillb

Hi Chris

You should not hear hissing or noise while monitoring, unless in a noisy environment.

Check your computers mixer settings for the mic. If the input is too low or high, it can be a problem. If Windows, check for 'mic boost' and try it both ways from the mixer.

Record a sample. Can you hear the same hiss on the recording or just when you're monitoring? If you only hear it during monitoring and not recording, there may be a hardware problem.

[chriswillb]

@NewMediaGear I see, it's partly my Levels on my computer, the quality of my headphones (Ipod earphones) and background noise....Problem solved, thanks very much!

[knuckles5champ]

is this microphone good for recording songs?

[HakerzTM]

I Just Ordered This! YAY ME!

[deanpaul716]

I have a good quality laptop I recently purchased, and you would think the microphone in it would be half way decent, but it sounds horrible. I need this microphone, it sounds like another winner. Thanks Mark, you always have a knack of finding a way of spending my money!

[laurat1701]

I have used this mic on skype, and I have to say, I love it! It sounds really great.

[HakerzTM]

@laurat1701 do people on the other end hear you fine and clear as if you just recorded with the mic and not be in a long distance call from the internet? and do they hear any background noise at ll? cause that's really important to me, i just want to have a nice skype call with crystal clear sound and no background noise

[djtechfm]

wer did you get the logo on the mic from

[rickytutaan]

Wooow, it sounds really nice.

[enacra101]

im not so sure about the go mic, but the larger mic sounds incredibly beautiful.

[NewMediaGear]

@enacra101

A major thing to consider is the price and application. The bigger mic is roughly 4 times the cost of the GoMic, and runs through broadcast processing.

The GoMic is perfect for office Skype calls, but definitely not a studio replacement.

Thanks for listening and taking time to comment!

[alexn882]

Wow! That's a nice mic. It's definitely got a lot of potential there. Nice little addition to have.

[NewMediaGear]

@alexn882

Impossible to have too many microphones ; )

For the price, it's handy to keep in my laptop case.

[MrSixFive]

Hey Mark...thanks for the review! I had seen this mic on a few other sites and thought it was something to look into for my girlfriend's laptop, seeing as her current built-in mic is pretty useless! And now because of your great review, she's getting yet another b-day present! ;-)

[NewMediaGear]

@MrSixFive

I've tried built-in microphones on several different high-end Core i7 laptops. They were all terrible! My 2 year old Core Duo sounded much better.

Anyway - I put the GoMic on a new laptop (Skype) and immediately the other party commented on how much better it sounded.

Thanks for the comment!
