      I had bought the Modmic wireless couple of months ago and now regretting it 😥 Thought that would be it for using along with Sony XM4, but I was wrong. Now, I really want to buy Samson G-Track pro!!!!! Guess I would keep the modmic wireless for travels and stuff and have the Samson one setup for my office

      I got all of the best USB microphones, home recording is my hobby. I'd trade them all for the Samson G-Track Pro. It's the best. I'd put the Rode NT-USB at second place.

    I have been using the Samson Mics, all of them for years, now the G Track Pro. I am trying out the Blue Yeti today for the first time. It is a good mic, but I just feel the Samson is better. I played two recordings for my son today, I narrated this morning with the Samson, and we compared it with the Blue Yeti. It was judged by us, the better mic. I am not a professional mic reviewer but have narrated audiobooks for 35 years. I will keep the Blue Yeti because I need a smaller footprint with my notebook, but will also continually use the Samson. Thanks for this review.

  • @briantamagos2306
    @briantamagos2306 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for sharing this! An important note to those looking for a microphone is that these microphones pick up a lot of background noises if the room you're working isn't treated.
    I bought a dynamic microphone as opposed to a condenser microphone because the environment I am in is quite loud.

    maybe if your listen to these mics played back through an expensive stereo it might sound different. But watching this video and listening to audio through my gaming monitor they literally all sound pretty much the same. I listened to this whole video and if i didn't know you were testing multiple different mics i would never notice.

    • @Moondog2A
      @Moondog2A 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's only distracting if there's a delay (which happens when you're monitoring from most editing programs like FCPX) But directly from the mic, it should be nearly instantaneous. Like recording without headphones and hearing your own voice in the air. I don't have a Samson so I can't confirm, but I have worked with analog monitoring setups in the past.
