Samson Go-Mic Review - Song For A Winters Night

A REAL audio sample of what the new Samson 'Go-Mic' can do. There are two mics involved here: one vocal and one for my Taylor guitar. I added a second aggregate device. All sound comes from just the two Samson Go-Mics - no guitar pickups etc... MINIMAL tweaking was done in Garage Band (Apple Mac) after - and I mean MINIMAL - so what you hear is pretty pure - - little reverb added and tweaked the highs a wee bit. Give a listen. These things ROCK!

I purchased this mic to record along with my standard mics on my PC DAW with Sonar. It seemd that, on the PC, I can not get the Go Mic to work along with my standard mics as they use diferent drivers. WDM for the Go Mic and MME for the standard mics (low budget stuff). Is this no problem with a Mac.garage band? The Go Mic has no special drivers in Windows (just standard Windows USB mic drivers). If they made MME drivers that would be good but they do not (even ASIO drivers would be better).

@RemmikRotus Quick reply "RR" - no issue whatsoever with the Mac drivers / laptop etc...

Hi Mike! Is there any delay if you plug in your headphones into this microphone and monitor yourself? Thank you

[MikeThomasMusic]

@drshadow89 Sory for delay in reply. I don['t get on here much of late. Plugging headphones into the mic directly, no delay or latency at all. Plugging phones into the PC / MacBook, there's always that risk depending on settings and processor speed of course. :)

Do you have a filter on the mic ur talking into? Thanks Mike!

[MikeThomasMusic]

I have a small generic foam screen on the mic. However, it does not fully "cover" the mic - henceforth, you may still get plosives depending on distance etc... Suggest using a gooseneck type windscreen if you're seriously recording vocals. If you're using it from a distance (i,.e. - on your laptop for voice chat etc..., you're fine).

@drshadow89

PLUS, encode your video at a higher bitrate, that allows youtube to have higher quality options (that also increase audio quality too)

[raymond9987654321]

I wouldn't call this a REAL test if equalization and reverb was added, even if it was minimal

[TheRealGrandMoss]

WOW! I came here to see what the mic sounds like, but I fell in love with your voice!

[makemoneyrelax]

I hear a lot of hiss

[XSuperMarioFanX]

Wow amazing song. Im thinking of buying this microphone to record my guitar playing as well!

[ZeFruitNazi]

Wow. That music was amazing. Sounds like a freaking recorded song. Excellent work.

Wow.. Ive been trying to look for a good review for this product and you are absolutely correct, no one really gave a good audio sample. You've done a great job and have become my deciding factor for buying this mic. I hope it works as well for me as it does for you. Very talented by the way! Good humor as well
