The software or something that he's using to record the Samson is creating a metallic sounds and lots of distortion. The microphone sounds a lot clearer in actuality. I would find another demo if you want to hear it's RAW quality. I've just bought one for travelling and the quality is amazing for the size!
well, if it's windows, just go to the sound devices and switch your speakers or whatever back to the sound output. From what I hear basically this mic automatically sets itself up as like it's own sound card, so if you plug in your headphones to the little jack on it you can hear everything through that.
You do not need to be close to the microphone. I got it cause of the -10 setting, i can still hear people from across my house talking. Dont even get me started on the normal one direction setting. :|
I just received mine and love it! One comment, it's time for a new TV set, man! Go online, to Walmart or anywhere and order a replacement! Get a dummy from IKEA... LOL Just messing with ya! I haven't found any negative reviews on this mic and that's a good thing. I did a lot of research before making the purchase and it seems I made an excellent choice. For the price, it's hard to beat the quality of the sound and portability. Thanks for the great review!
good review but the audio from both of your microphones sounds very compressed and digitized I don’t know what the issue is but just….. very distracting
At the start i had a mini heart attack because i purchased this without looking at reviews (i know, how dumb) and i thought that was how it would sound when it got here
I just bought this mic! I plugged it in and don't know what to do! someone please help me! I cant hear my audio playback through my speakers when its plugged in. please anyone message how to set it up exactly! anyone!!!!!!!
I just got this mic and used it for my most recent cover of "Stay" - Rihanna :D I would love it if you could take the time to check it out? It's an amazing mic for it's price and size!
I am currently looking for a mic to record lectures that can be directly connected to my laptop. Would you recommend this for lectures even in a lecture hall that fits more than 300 people?
REMEMBER - He is making noise and voice sound like....metalic /// normal you cant hear voice like this and for me this mike work great without making noise i hear only my pc and me.
Jay P Thanks, I appreciate it. You're right, the video compression jacked up the audio and made things sound more muted. The raw video file is super crisp.
Maybe you can help. I first seen this mic at my doctor's office when he was using it with Dragon Naturally Speaking, he had it hooked up to win 10 and a hotkey to turn on/off. I bought one but having issues hooking up with Dragon and hotkey, any ideas?
Hey I just ordered this mic and I'll be using it to record singing. Do you have to spend a lot of money on a pop filter or can you get a cheap one. Are they all the same and do the same? Found one on ebay for around £6 but don't want to get it if it's gunna be rubbish! :) hope you reply soon :) thanks
I live in a crowded locality. My room gets lot of noise of kids playing. At night my room echos a lot. I wonder if this mic can eliminate those noises and record only my sound.
It can, you'll just need to use the Unidirectional setting, which only picks up sound from directly in front of the mic. If the environment is noisy enough, it may still pick up ambient noise, but not as clearly as it will pick up your voice. In that setting, be sure to sit close to the mic so that your voice dominates the recording sound cone.
You can make a mini-studio box too. I used a tray from an old refrigerator (you can use a storage box or even a cardboard box) and placed foam padding all ong the sides, top, and bottom. Then put the Go Mic in there and figure out which of the 3 settings is best. I also use a pencil holder made of metal mesh (dollar store item) with a sock over it to act as a pop filter. It cost me $1 total plus the Go Mic was around $30. Can it get any cheaper to have a "home studio?" lol
