Samson C01U | USB Studio Condenser | Microphone Review

[makemoneyrelax]

yo yo yo , look at here, good mic

[hudini2]

How do use this mic on Mixcraft 2.5 ? And how do you use it on Cakewalk Sonar? I mean like it works, but on SONAR there is a bit of static, and on Mixcraft there is nothing BUT static. I'm pissed. Someone help ???

[heatfilter]

1 word for you (and any other broke artists): Torrent

[lolaa9180]

[rapidfiringneurons]

Ardour is a great DAW for multitrack work with effects, and it's free.

[MrMinequake]

try mixcraft 5 !!!

[akathecandyman]

if you wanna edit your music to make eco and more stuff download the free version of wavepad sound editor free edition and i also have a co1u its good

[xMustraGaming]

he can afford a 100$ microphone but not enough to replace that potato? smh

[SweetPotatoFriez]

@xMustraGaming Looks like he doesn't even use his potato much anyways.

[sabeq4ever]

[MyTutorialFilms]

[jordanjeffries901]

[1n3utron7]

Is there anyways to hook up a condenser mic to a pc w a xrl cable ?

[J2daBeatz]

Don't use FL Studio for recording. It's trash... u can download Nuendo with the crack key at isohunt.com

[giocrew1]

try cool edit pro 2.0

[R33ZY3lMusicah]

[san5a89]

hi man. can I ask you a question about condenser mics?

[spicyweNr]

Well the sound right out of the box isn't all that for the co1u get a software called cool edit pro.record from there.then you can edit the hell out of your voice look it up on YouTube how to make your voice sound professional using cool edit pro.

[invisiblePerson99]

@spicyweNr Cool edit pro is it better than Audobe audition?

[JBLZTV]

@invisiblePerson99 Cool Edit and Adobe Audition are the same.

[broadcastworlds]

put the mic at 15 percent noice sensivity

[juanito1975]

this was very informative. I am on a tight budget aswell.

[MCMTISBACK]

ay champ ya a good bloke. oi what do i need to do to get good quality recordings and studio quality and stuff. and do i record first then put music or music whilst recording and stuff. cause yeah im trying to work on my music... quality and stuff.

[HaydnFitzsimons]

So is this just you speaking into the mic, recording it and uploading it, or r u using some software to make it sound more sharp and clear?

[Crabs4Sale]

Thanks man, this was a good review.

[JAEsoulO16]

I know you put you don't use Audacity nomore , but when you used to was the quality of the song anywhere near yah latest shit ?

[trigapula]

any mic or software is good you just gotta have the knowledege and tools to know how to make it sound right

[ConnorlBall]

[xternal619]

I appreciate u sharing about da mic..

[TheRBRproductions]

CUBASE

[AshTappe]

[StateClothingCo]

[EasyEyan]

Anyone know a good software to edit a music video? I tried Sony Vegas but I dont know how to use it... Windows Movie maker doesn't let me import any .MOV files even if I have the Codecs... E-yan.

[mikeymusician]

Try Magix... Magix is very good.

[tsarquise]

this mic fuckin sucks. at least mine does. there is a bunch of background noise with a hiss.

[hoopgirl245]

@tsarquise thats because you have no pop filter and also no software to remove background noise,also u may be recording in a room with bad sound.like an open hallway type sound,or an air conditioning is near by

[tsarquise]

@hoopgirl245 I have software... Pro Tools, Cubase, Audacity, Etc..... IMO this just isn't a good mic.

[XPLICITFLOW]

USE THE SOFTWARE THAT CAME WITH IT IS BETTER THAN FL STUDIOS AND MIXCRAFT SONAR L.E

[Iswearitstrue9]

buy a mac, get garage band and you're life will be set or jump for the big one Logic. You can also check out Pro - Tools which is for Mac or PC. I'm buying thie mic though!!! I can't wait!

[OfficialHalfman]

i spent 100 dollars on my samson meteor mic...what you know bout that? you think its worth the money? and what software should i rap on? i need a free software...what do you recomend???

[100chihuas]

hey man i just want to know if u can help to get cool edit pro...i got tha same mic but i use mixcraft and it really suck to record help me plz

[ONEdwreck1987]

AUDACITY IS THE SHIIIIT... JUSS MAKE SURE TO USE THE COMPRESSOR ON UR VOCALS.. IVE USED IT FOR OVER 3 YEARS AND IVE ALSO USED MIX CRAFT, COOL EDIT PRO, ACID 6.0 PRO, FRUITY LOOPS, ADOBE AUDITION AND THERE ALL NOT AS GOOD IN MY EYES.. U CAN ADD ANY PLUG IN FROM ANY STUDIO INTO AUDACITY.. IF UR GONNA UPGRADE THE ONLY THING WORTH IT IS PRO TOOLS BUT THATS HARD TO LEARN HENCE THE REASON THEY HAVE COLLAGE CLASSES FOR IT... CONTACT ME IF U NEED MORE TIPS.. GOOD LUCK... BTW BABY BOTTLE MIC IS BETTER!!

[TonyTJBurt]

[Cakama3a]

[CJTAGG1]

The software I use is called Magix Music Maker 16 and I really like it, you should get that In my opinion it's just what you need, :)

[lxdannydxl100]

Hmm. Tight budget i would say Garage Band. And for video editing Sony vegas platinum 9

[techn9nekaliko]

[OfficialSophieSmith]

Mixpad, download the trial. its pretty good.

[a09zz0a0a9]

what? Mixcraft it's easy to use man and to edit i can record you with tow channels i can record a verse in one channel and record again repeting the same verse in other channel and them those tow channels i convert the vocals into one end man trust me the vocal sounds amazing ;)

[tank4shizzle]

1st. you look EXACTLY like drake bro.

2nd. i was looking for more of a "review" on the mic, not just "oh this mic is the best buy if your a podcaster or a rapper". could you make another vid? i know its a lot to ask but id love a full review.

[marco922241]

okay im a rapper and im planning 2 get this mic but i see dat it doesnt have a headphone input...?? so where wud i connect my headphones??

[BoyFlexx542]

[jayefresh]

[kabascoolr]

[MrOutrageous95]

[MrOutrageous95]

[JointedNickle]

You should just use the Cakewalk Music Creator that came with it in my opinion...

[wishxxx0]

I was going to use it for my vocalss in a song I am currently working on , would you say it would sound good and worl while singing ? Thanks

[psycopathicmind]

im buying this exact same mic for my rap...im buying it on ebay, it comes with sonar le...i personally like it better than audacity

[csweeney1986]

how do you get video to work too? i set up my recorder, but i want to add video too.

[EmoticoNation]

Duddee how do you make audacity put your song in mp3 format . or how do you make it play on windows media player or itunes ?

[pencilcaseize]

@EmoticoNation export it as an mp3



[EmoticoNation]

@pencilcaseize i kno that but im talkin bout when you have like 2 files on audacity and your tryna put it into one

[officialchristiantv]

Gatta Get It =]

Hey are you using Windows or Mac?

[Insanity787]

I have this same exact mic... but I always get that fuzzz when I use it on MY computer, I can't get it to sound how yours sounds...why is that?

[SECHFilms]

@Insanity787 maybe your computer has a bit of a buzz to its fans, and also try turning the input volume down

[BryanBlaz]

Explain To Me Somebody Please.....How To Get Near Zero Latency.....With The Samson CO1U Without Asio4All.....I Want To Monitor The Sound Threw My Speakers....Without Using Asio4All

[DwreckMusic]

i was going to get this mic,

then i went in to the music store and they reccomended me the apex 440.

so i got it instead.

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.

Samson c01u is also a great mic.

[jonathan729332]

i just use adobe audition 3.0

[jefersonvilaede]

you cant try Sound Forge..way better than Audacity.

[DaREALMastaD]

Omg thanks man I have been looking for a mic on a tight budget...I was searching all over the net and thanks for saying best buy because Im going there tomorrow.

[JamalzIncredible]

Man this helped out so much

I needed to verify if its worth my money or not

Thanks alot

I rap lol

[valetdabess]

thanks for the review man i feel like buying it now

[ShawnJam3s]

Ok i have a small problem and i don't if its the mic but when i record and play it back the vocals are off rhythm with the music, i don't know why so can anybody tell me what the problem is ? And what i have to do to stop it from getting off rhythm ? Btw i use cool edit pro 2.0

[MegaUploadFuzz]

No offense Bro ! iT's Kewl & Everything | Bhut iTs Play'd Out Now | - Every1 On Youtube USes that Mic ( Although iT's 1 of the best Sound Quality Mics ) iT's So Over_rated =( , Bhut Nice Musiq Dude !

[AVClip]

@MegaUploadFuzz First off, learn to type.

A good piece of equipment can't be "played out"

Everybody uses it, because it's very good. Big deal if lot of people use it, that doesn't change anything. And it isn't overrated if it's actually good. -.-

[EdSk33]

@jiklof try cubase...nice review

[RapperLilJ24]

Can U Use Headphones With This Mic?? If So Where Do I Put The Plug?? Plz Message Me The Answer

[vaboy918]

My samsom co1u has some electrical static in all of my recorded vocals. Can someone help me with this

[iFlickTV]

by the way everyone, its a usb mic. what he just did was plugged it in and used it. If you were to edit,master and all that it would sound waaaaaay better i might make a tutorial on how to get high quality audio.

[nemesis700]

yo man, you know how to adjust the volume on the mic? the sound quality of mine doesnt come out like the person's in this video

[iFlickTV]

@nemesis700 yea message me

[AugustInAdelaide]

[jibran1]

[iFlickTV]

@jibran1 yea get a pop filter or windscreen it helps alot and make it sounds much cleaner

[TheChicagoPimp]

wat music program do u use to record tracks dawg?

[iFlickTV]

@TheChicagoPimp everyone haves there own stuff to making a song, all the programs i use are Sonar LE,Audacity,Cool Edit Pro,and Fl Studio. You can use pro tools but it looks complicating

[TheChicagoPimp]

U can get a crack for free or a registered version its like adobe audition but they cant get autotune on it no more but u can edit lots of diff effects with cool edit. i also use audacity to record then take the music out then edit on cool edit then i put the music on and complete :D
