great for getting down song ideas

I bought this mic to record song demos and ideas.It works great for that,I sing and play at the same time instead of using it as a multi track which you can do but I would go to a recording studio to record anything I was going to sell anyways.Great cheap way to get your song ideas recorded.

  This microphone is a home run!

I purchased the Samson CO1U for use in Podcasting and it has exceeded my expectations. I just plug the USB cable into my laptop computer and I am ready to record. The quality of the sound is more than adequate for me. No mixer is required with this microphone either. I also purchased a mini boom stand,[OnStage], and the shock mount [SP01] that goes with the Samson microphone.[I removed the European adaptor with a screwdriver] I purchased all of these items from Sweetwater, and I am more than happy with their no nonsense approach to their business. Thank You, Sweetwater.

  CO1U Review 
by from Prairie Grove, MB, Canada, April 2007
Music Background:  DJ

The CO1U performed adequately for the studio voice recording I needed it to do, although I was disappointed with:
- the sound resonance (it made my voice sound quite muffled)
- the interface (it seemed to cause conflict and distortion with Audacity on the Acer with a Turion 64 chip)

I have now sold it and am hoping to upgrade to a ElectroVoice RE20 with a Tascam US 122 in the near future.
