Samson C01u USB Audio Condenser Microphone Review

[yamkazee]

im fairly sure condensers are better for instrument recordings like drums and acoustic guitars, thanks for the review though (y)

@j3fffr3y Keeps the moisture from getting on the mic when you talk which can damage the diaphragm over time. It also keeps the "P" sounds from making a "POP" sound when you talk. Just search "pop filter" and there are some examples between with the pop filter and without it.

[j3fffr3y]

Whats the use of a popfilter?

[FluffyBoy32]

@Skannerup Yes, for this I used the PS01 Ppp Filter from Samson as well as the SP01 Spider Shock Mount from Samson to record the voiceover.

[Skannerup]

Did you use the pop filter when recording the audio for this particular videoclip?

hey can u do commentaries on xbox and PC with this mike??? please answer

[FluffyBoy32]

@CarlOreally You can use it as far as Skype Calls, Livestreams and such. As far as XBL parties, you probably won't be able to use it since it's a USB mic but you could use it for Rockband and other games that require a USB Mic. Hope that helps...

@FluffyBoy32 no i mean ommentating on xbox or PC to put my videos on youtube...will it sych in or what?

[FluffyBoy32]

@CarlOreally Oh, Doing commentaries for gameplay. Yeah, It will work. There is a free program called Audacity that you can use to record with. I personally just use the recording software built into Sony Vegas but Audacity is a VERY good program for voice-overs!

Is this microphone has a big noise?

[FluffyBoy32]

@TheFerbata Not sure if I understand the question. It will pick up big noises if they are in front of the mic. If they are behind it though, it won't pick up as well.

@WhiteLeopardStudios Thanks man!

Sometimes, when I'm alone, I cover myself in Vaseline and pretend I'm a slug.
