I certainly hope you have become a professor of some sort by now, because you really know how to effectively convey ideas - clear, concise, and positive!!

@dancartlidge5202 6 лет назад

I own a pair of these and am quite impressed. Presently, I'm using the C03 for my studio vlog mic and for upcoming podcasts...I was looking into purchasing a SM7B, but I just don't see where I'll gain enough compared to the cost of the Shure mic. This Samson is a winner in my book....

@goodshow4058 6 лет назад

Dan Cartlidge what do you use to connect it to the camera? An XLR adapter box?

@quentinphoenix2487 6 лет назад

Thanks man, that's a nice review. Was actually deciding between these two mics so that's perfect! Think I will take the Rode. You seem like a likeable guy as well, have a nice day!

@GigiUK 6 лет назад

Shame you didn’t do a sound test for all of the three options because I was interested in hearing the ‘figure of 8’ / bi-directional. Oh well, maybe next time :)

Hey man, Great video. I have one of these and finally want to upgrade but not spend a ton of money. Do you have a recommendation for a mic that is the next level of quality but still affordable?

Hello sir....what about the noise floor of that samson?...did you hear any self noise...I ask.because I'm interested , but I have heard that it's a noisy mic....what's your honest opinion...I need a budget mic for voice over, that offers some acceptable level of clean audio

@oscarnajera6224 5 лет назад

I have the C01, and it works great. The background sound can be EQed out, and I just think it’s a great option to start!

@tuolkorkhousemusicschool5097 7 лет назад

Hello, i m a guitarist i play on accoustic classic as i started to test and used this SAMSON MIC with Logic Pro i ve noticed that if i play one note the sustain of the sound disappear very fast UNFORTUNATLY it seems that if the signal is not loud enough the mic stop to capture that s a big issue the guitar i use provide such interesting sustain harmonies so i don t get the point with this MIC really / it should be able to capture the signal all along till the sound is releasing... !? did U noticed this fact ?

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

Never noticed that fact. The mic shouldn't stop to capture anything unless you're playing around with your gain levels as you were recording.

@nahuewewe6114 7 лет назад

@koolkat9318 3 года назад

What is the gain requierments

@bobbarry1001 5 лет назад

what do you think about the noise? is it enough to interfere or is still normal when taking vocals for professional results?

@reubenchng 4 года назад

The noise level is alright. But the 'quality' of the mic can be noticeable by trained ears.

@DipakKumarTLW 7 лет назад

You did a comparison with two microphones, the Samson C03 and the Rode NT1, which of these is a better microphone for recording vocals in a small home studio.

definitely the Rode NT1A if you compare between this two

Depends on the level of films you're doing. If for serious broadcast, get something like the Rode NT1-A or Se Electronics X1 S at minimum.

@vamprea.production 3 года назад

Would you recommend C03 for beginner with less treated room?

@reubenchng 3 года назад

Yes, its a good beginner mic. Learn it, exploit it, use it till you outgrow it - then upgrade. You'll learn to appreciate the more expensive mics later on.

@sandrabenitoarenas3416 6 лет назад

Hi! I would like to star recording covers, do you recomend me this michophone?

@reubenchng 6 лет назад

yes it would be good as a beginner's microphone. But go for something better if you want better results. I'm coming out with few new videos soon.

@sandrabenitoarenas3416 6 лет назад

Reuben Chng it would be great! The problem is that I should buy the microphone At Spain 😅 hope there are here!

@tonydensingh3782 7 лет назад

m audio nova vs samson c03 which one is best and y?

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

I've no experience using the Nova. that said, the Nova has existed a long time and from the reviews I see online, it's another budget style microphone. I personally think you'll go further with the Samson CO3, because of the many pickup patterns and low cut filter

@MrRaja-lw9ks 7 лет назад

what is the best audio interface for c03

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

M.r. Raja something decent like the Scarlett 2i2 is good.

@Skyrus007 7 лет назад

Is it better than the MXL 770?

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

Yup. I personally vouch for it.

ardian sip smule is an app right? Unless you can connect an audio interface to your mobile device then yes you could use it together with smule

@cstiska 7 лет назад

I have one of those, I thought they were not very good

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

I'd agree with you. Not too good for trained ears and professionals. I find it to be a little dull. But for beginners, it's nice to have one of this for practice and small projects.

@cstiska 7 лет назад

You're right sometimes sounds very gray

@emiruLIVE 6 лет назад

idk if you reading this but what is the differenz between the co3 and the co3u??

@reubenchng 6 лет назад

Teeewurst CO3 is with an XLR connection. The CO3U is with USB connection . The 'U' stands for USB. I read every comment 😏

@emiruLIVE 6 лет назад

Reuben Chng but why costs the usb like 20$ more? And on the usb version it says that it is ideal for Podcasting?? So it is the 20$ more worth?

@reubenchng 6 лет назад

That depends on what you're looking to achieve. If you just want convenience and podcast is all you do, the the USB version is easy to use. The reason it's more expensive is because it has an in-built analog to digital audio converter.

@tonydensingh3782 7 лет назад

samson c01 an c03 which one best?

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

Tony Densingh c03 is much better

@ntnlaaron770 7 лет назад

get the c01u pro , it is much better , and newer , but , it is a usb mic , unfortunately

@Ashwini35ify 4 года назад

It was your review a yr and half back :) ,i watched and then purchased this mic along with Focusrite- Scarlett 2i2, I used this to do few recording then, but unfortunately i stopped making recording over other priority work. I now want to re-utilize this mic for normal live vocal performance instead of acoustic room recording, Is this possible ? if yes how ? what setting , accessories etc required plz help. i didn't get or cud understand help abt his on google.. :(

@reubenchng 4 года назад

large condenser microphones are not so preferred on stage - as it potentially causes lots of feedback. It is possible, but rarely used. Equipments needed is the same, minus an audio interface, but a mixer or pre-amp with phantom power.

@Ashwini35ify 4 года назад

Reuben Chng thanks

@tonydensingh3782 7 лет назад

what is mean by multi pattern?

@reubenchng 7 лет назад

It means it has few pickup pattern modes.

@rohanpandey6563 6 лет назад

Which should I chose sm58 or c03?

@reubenchng 6 лет назад

for what purpose?

@rohanpandey6563 6 лет назад

Reuben Chng for recording basically quality wise

@reubenchng 6 лет назад

Then again, what kind of recording purpose? Vocals? Guitar? .. I'd say go for the CO3 and learn the mic placements correctly. You get some pleasing results with condenders

@rohanpandey6563 6 лет назад

Reuben Chng I have a home studio without acoustic treatment and I want to record vocals so which one would be a choice for recording the vocal?

@reubenchng 6 лет назад

CO3. you dont need much acoustic treatment to record. Just get creative. For instance, i recorded this in just a corner of an office. I thought it worked okay: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RZMZeuMb_Kw.html
