No Static on my MacBook Pro

I've used the G-Track for a year now doing voice overs on videos and the sound quality of this mic is as good as you will find even compared to professional mics costing 10 times the price.

And the convenience of having all the preamp controls right on the front of the mic, that retract in and out the mic body on a toggle so they don't stick out when not being used is awesome.

I have a 4 year old MacBook Pro and there is no hiss or static at all. And the warmth and fullness of the sound quality is astounding.

I don't have a shock mount so I use it on a boom mic stand which works great to isolate it from any desk vibration.

Excellent Value All The Way Around

This mic lives up to all it's claims. I purchased this mic as one of many pieces I plan to use building a computer based recording setup. I was truly astonished at the clarity and accuracy Samson offered me. So far I've only used this without any tailored recording equipment. I've only used it with Audacity software and on-board audio. Exceeded my expectations completely. I can only imagine how it will sound coupled with the proper gear! I highly recommend purchasing this mic, if you're looking for a USB microphone. I love all the extras it offers, too. Once again, this is a purchase that is well worth the value.

Two Mics in one! Perfect for Internet Broadcasting!

The GTrack exceeded my expectations when I discovered that it can be used SIMULTANEOUSLY via USB and by analog directly to a mixer. This allows me to use the mic through a mixer to broadcast with mixed audio live as well as connected through USB with conference-capable VOIP apps like Skype for audience participation. The audio quality is great, although the sample rate must be turned down when using on an older (or newer overloaded) computer.

Worth every penny, and then some.

Best Mic I've Used

G Track microphone blew me away,when I found out how it really sounded once I plugged it into my computer and started recording. The on board montioring makes it great and instrument input as well. Youll be amazed after hearing all your vocals and overdubs at once. The sound is crystal clear,great for overdubs backround vocals,live mixing as well. I have a home studio and this has been the best mic I've used thus far. Great Job by Samson

No problems on My Mac

I bought this to replace a cheaper mic and Audio Interface from M-Audio... I get absolutely NO Static on my Mac. I does record in stereo provided that you are recording a stereo input. Mics always record in Mono and in GarageBand.. You have to set the track to Mono so that you hear it out of both speakers. It has incredible range and this is the first mic that I've used that sounds like I sound. Don't need to turn the bass up or down with the input to alter what the mic hears. This is a no frills quality mic that will sound like the Singer sounds...

Quality mic.

This mic is perfect for acoustic guitar/ vocals. I even use it to record my drums and electric. I am able to have a friend play the drums and i can sing and record electric all at once with this mic. It does it all.

G-Track: Most Excellent USB Mic!

I tried several USB mikes before shelling out for the G-Track and all I can say is that it was worth every penny. The other mikes I tried were tinny, had very little dynamic range, cheap construction and just terrible audio output.

The G-Track arrived on time from Sweetwater. I unpacked it, glanced at the instructions, plugged in the USB cable and was recording in minutes.. no hassle, no glitches, no problems.. it just works.

The built in headphone amp is a bit weak but maybe I need headphones matched to its output.. it's really not important as I use the G-Track for Screencasts and podcasts.

The construction of the mic is outstanding. I was expecting something made of plastic... what a surprise, feels just as good as some of the mics I have used on the air in commercial broadcasting. I've been in broadcasting most of my life and this little USB mike really is a very good product.

I highly reccomend it for anyone needing a quality mic to use with their PC for doing Screencasts and podcasts. It sounds great and looks great as well. Nothing cheap about the G-Track.

Glad I bought it and glad I bought it from Sweetwater.. thanks for the Tootsie Rolls and Taffy.

upgrade your macbook pro to leopard 10.5.6

i just talked to Samson about static problem. They told me to upgrade system to 10.5.6, and so far no static...

Works Great!

I've just started recording some vocals so I don't have much experience with other microphones.But this one was so easy to setup and use that I would recommend it to anybody that is starting like me.It could have some better options like the stereo recording and maybe an off button and have the shock mount included but it is not necessary.

Great on Windows - STATIC on Mac

The best thing about this mic is that it comes with everything you will need. Every cable you will need to interface your guitar, keyboard, and you laptop. It even comes with a desk stand. Somebody at Samson was thinking!!

So why 3 stars...

If you own a Mac and use Garageband this mic will have static when recording AND you will not be able to record in stereo mode where you have the guitar on one channel and vocals on another. You will only be able to record channel one and you have to use the inst/mic/line switch to flip back and forth. My main laptop is a MacBook and so I am completely disgusted because this means that no one really tested this mic on a Mac OR no one really cared if the mic produced static.

If you own a Windows machine (tested on XP) you will be very happy as everything works great. The sound is very clear. I've used Sonar before so the included software was easy for me to use and record and add effects easily.

I'm hoping that Samson will come up with some way to fix this ridiculous static on the Mac.

Good Mic But Statics A Killer

Ok so I was waiting for my G-Track to come with very high hopes, and for the most part it delivered. It came with the software and all the cords needed but everytime I tried to record the static was just annoying and bothersum. I read a couple of the reviews here and was sure I wouldn't have that problem because I have Windows Vista, but I was wrong. I dont recommened this product because of the static, what a shame it is that such a great product idea is just tainted with this minor problem. Im returning it as soon as possible.

Mariginal -- Sold Mine on eBay

While the feature set looks good on paper, the audio quality was just average. In stock configuration, this thing picks up all kinds of mechanical noise (like the motor vibrations from my netbook's fan through the wooden tabletop). The base is already badly balanced, but when you add the mandatory shock mount, it is very easy to tip the mic. When you add the shock mount, you are already up to $180, and a heavy base (like for a kick drum mic) will set you back more. The audio levels vary depending upon the input source or if you are monitoring playback from your computer. I was glad to take the $ loss selling this after I replaced it with a Blue Yeti.

Need more gain

2 stars mean OK, Average... I find it very usefull and I've had fun with it. I'm impressed by the overall sound which is pretty good for that price rance considering you get an audio interface, mixer and microphone all together for les than 200$. However, the mic gain is too low, actually you have to get it to 70-80% of the range to have a nice signal comming to you DAW. In case you have to track more delicate and softer sources the mic goes useless. Th instrument input gain so far is OK.

I have nice high end gear and I got this for tracking ideas when traveling or for mobile cheap recordings. It would have been more usefull if it had an alnalog output to use a stand-alone mic and not be stuck with USB, but for this price again, you couln't ask for more.

Static Problems with MacBook Pro

Great mic .... great sound .... but can't get rid of the horrible static when using the G-Track on my MacBook Pro. If you go through the hassle of changing the sound property settings, unplugging the mic, reconnecting the mic and changing the sound property settings back, the static will stop for a very short time, but then start again. I've gone back to my old mic. Too bad, because this mic sounds great.

G-Track Static MacBook Pro

Beautiful mic, nice stand, great concept. Terrible static on my 4 month old MacBook Pro.
