A great USB Mic!

by Ted Jones from On the Coast
September 17, 2008
Music Background: Composer Arranger and more.....
I chose this mic initially because my mixer was wearing out, and the idea of simply plugging into any USB port on any computer was irresistible! I was a little behind in my projects, so I didn't get t... read more [+]o use it right away. But when I did.......Man! The other mic I have has it's own set of parameters which needed to be setup on the mixer whenever it was used (smaller mixer), and I was able to get some good sound through it. The first take I recorded on the Samson C03U was so n-i-i-i-i-i-i-c-e that ideas for more vocal songs and projects began tumbling into my head! I love being inspired in my music! And this inspires me! If there were only more hours in a day! All my recording buddies got the same call from me....."You gotta go hear this thing!" They were impressed with what I told them! Now, I did run into a couple of snags when using it with ASIO. but that was resolved quickly. Plug it in, and go! If only there were more hours in a day! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
