My new Set up: The Samsung C01u Condenser Mic

IP: 1ADC A69C

After Ill Grammatix told me about it yesterday and reading a review of it, I decided to go to a local guitar shop called "Hot Licks" to purchase the Samsung (pronounced Samson as indicated by Implicit) C01u USB Condenser mic. I also purchased the shock mount and a stand for it. For the first time, I will be standing while I record. I had problems with my cool edit because it wouldn't let me play anything. So, after reinstalling it, I was able to test the microphone. The first thing I noticed was the lack of noise generated while recording. I normally have to contend with hiss and other sounds. But, with this mic, there is very little noise generated by the mic or through my computers circuitry. IN fact, I normally run HISS REDUX in cool edit but had to nix that because it degraded the quality of the mic's signal. I also realized that the UNEDITED vocals with this condenser are as good as the EDITED vocals with my old dynamic. Simply put, this mic gives me a greater range and does not distort/clip easily like my less expensive dynamic. I even got close on the mic and said "OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO" over and over, but it did not cause clipping or distortion in the mic. Note: I do have a pop filter. I like this microphone because it connects directly to your USB port. You simply "plug and play" (record, that is).

Note: Though this mic generates better quality than my standard dynamic, I still have to edit my vocals through noise redux and hard limiting. You have to play around with your setting until you get them just right. Oh, and ANTARES is a thing of the past now.

**Here are 3 pictures of my set up...Sorry about the middle finger, but I got carried away.

The Samsung C01u sells for 80 dollars. The shock mount was 40 dollars. The stand I got was 22 dollars. My pop filter wsa 25 dollars. I don't think you can do much better for the price--well, maybe.



HOLLA!

You sat while you recorded??!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! You fuck your inflection and breath control over from sitting man and your entire voices tone changes. smh, you got a LOT to learn man, and this is me speaking to an MC, not "the Q". you assembled an entire demo's worth of music sitting down? wow lol.

BTW the company is "Samson" not "Samsung". Samsung dosen't make mics for anything but cellphones. "Samson" is the company that makes most of Radio Shack's mics. But damn props for FINALLY getting rid of that steaming piece of shit you used to record with.[/back handed compliment]

So all that stuff Roman was talking about was solved with a pop filter?

Let me know when you record your first song with it so I know how it sounds. I may just get one.
