Perfect for a beginning musical recording artist

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014

Style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

I am putting together some musical tracks for the first time, so I didn't want to go out to buy any high end stuff. I just wanted something that would work well to get my feet in the water. Boy, this little puppy has really impressed me. First, let's get the negative stuff out of the way.

First of all, I've been using this microphone with Audacity freeware.

The hardest part about learning to use this microphone was figuring out how to put the stand together. It turns out, the joint piece that attaches the microphone to the stand has a little piece in it that needs to be removed before the pole that attaches the mic to the base can be attached. There are no instructions on how to assemble the stand, so I had to search google to find an answer.

The second hardest part was trying to figure out how to get my voice recordings to come through on both the right and left channels. You can split the stereo recording where the voice is only coming through on one channel into a mono recording and then delete the empty recording that results.

Once these two little problems were solved, the rest was very easy and self explanatory. There is a 3.5 mm input and a 3.5 mm output on the base as well as the USB output to hook to a computer. It comes with a lot of cords, most of which I won't ever use. One cord I am using, though, is one that converts a guitar cable into a 3.5 mm input. When I plug my acoustic guitar into the base, it sounds far better than when I plug the guitar directly into my computer. It's extremely crisp and clear.

The number one reason I got this microphone was so that I could record vocal tracks onto music I was recording without having to deal with any delay. I got so much more than I bargained for. And it's so easy to use. I'm going to get a lot of use out of this puppy. I can't wait to lay down my next track.

No Micro-Phony Here

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2010

Style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

Although I may be a phony at the mic, this mic is no phony. The Samson G Track Microphone exceeded my expectations, for the price. I've only used this mic to record voice but have mixed that in with music. I am very impressed with the quality of this product and how my voice sounds against the professionally recorded music tracks. This microphone also has the look and feel (mostly weight) of a quality product not to mention it looks impressive sitting on the desk of my make shift recording studio (home office). A relative of mine has done "professional" voice recordings, and my untrained ear cannot tell the difference between them speaking on my mic vs. the playback of their "professional" recordings. The knobs feel very solid and velvety smooth to use. The stand, which it comes with, is solid metal and firmly plants itself on any flat surface. I have a desktop computer that I use this with and it's inside the desk that has the microphone on it. After reading some reviews I was concerned that I might pick up too much noise from that or something else, but no problems. I quickly found a nice balance of mic gain vs. speaking distance from the mic.

I gave this product a 4 star rating because it has surpassed every expectation that I had of it, however, there is a problem with this product. The problem is the software that comes with it. I received Cakewalk's Sonar 6 LE software to edit and mix the tracks I recorded with my microphone. The whole package comes ready to use right out of the box, except for the all the time it takes to figure out how to use the software - very frustrating. That being said I quickly gave up on it and downloaded the AVS recording/editing/mixing software and it works great. The good news for me was I had already purchased some AVS software and that was included with it but in a separate download. To purchase it runs around $40 dollars, but I purchased the lifetime registration that allows me to download all of their software, unlimitedly, for as long as they are in business, which is about $60. I tried the Audacity software, but it kept locking up on my computer after about 30 seconds of recording. I do have Windows Vista 64, so that may be the issue.

To be fair to Cakewalk, their software isn't junk, it just needs to be made more user friendly. When using this software I get the impression that it was designed for someone who actually has experience working a real soundboard, understands the terminology, and is familiar with producing music. The problem as I see it is that the software seems to be several experience levels above what it takes to sufficiently record/edit/mix with the microphone. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm not in the music business and I wanted something better than a webcam mic and this seemed like the perfect product; and it was except the software is geared to a more professional type. I will say that after having some time to play around with the Cakewalk software, that it works well and has almost an unlimited number features (at least it seems to be) I have been able to mix a few tracks but still leave my recording and editing to the AVS software, because it's just too easy. Then I simply import the tracks into the Cakewalk software and start mixing. Another issue I had with the software was the inability to actually use the recorded file after I mixed it in Cakewalk. Again I had to turn to the AVS software for an audio converter to go from .WAV type sound file to .MP3 type sound file. I found out later that Cakewalk will sell you an encoder to do this for almost $20, but again the AVS software does it for me.

For best recording you will need to invest in a "pop" filter for your mic. This eliminates all the popping sounds made by your lips when you pronounce -P's, B's and etc. Do not pay more than $10 for one of these. This is something that is not that technical or benefits by exotic materials or fancy features.

I would not hesitate to buy this item again or recommend it to anyone.

Great Value

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

I found the G Track to be a great value. I found it to be an above average microphone. And with a built in interface it allows you to produce a very nice Youtube video, with somewhat professional results.

I also found the bundled Cakewalk software to be a great bonus value. For the money this is a great microphone, with the added features and software, it's even better. I'd recommend the G track to a friend.

The only negative I have is that the output from the microphone when used as an audio output device seems a little underpowered. I find I have to have the level turned up fully most of the time when playing back tracks that were recorded at the proper level. However, this could be the result of my computer or OS, so I can't say for certain it's a problem with the G Track. So I guess if enough people comment on this problem, then it is a problem with the G Track!

But I really wouldn't give up my G Track now that I have it. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Great professional audio for podcasts, video interviews, or studio recording

Just a quick recording using my D7000 for video and the Samson G-Track mic for audio. I used Audacity to record the audio, and DualEyes to sync it to the video.

Great Starter Mic and Set Up

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2010

Style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

I am very pleased with my purchase. I am an advanced/beginner singer songwriter and I like to record my songs using multiple tracks of guitar and voice. This is a good quality, mic that allows you to also record instruments direct to the computer (bypassing the mic) and it has a fantastic price. It comes complete with all cords and a quality stand and it really does the job. I am very pleased with its easy setup, usage and performance. I would recommend it to anyone.

Update a year later......... I've reduced my rating to three stars. 1) I got a short in the headphone output after one year 2) not enough mic volume to record soft singer songwriter vocals and guitar 3) lots of hissing noise in the recording. If I had it to do over I'd get a different condensor mic and buy a pre-amp instead of trying to save $ with an all-in-one USB powered unit like this which seems problematic.

Amazing Clarity

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2012

Style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

I bought this mainly to use for doing some youtube stuff. I gives quite astounding sound quality for the money, keep your blue yeti nonsense and give me one of these any day. One issue i ran into was a problem with hissing. This seems fairly common and is a windows 7 issue with mic boost that is fairly easy to solve settings so If you've seen worries about it cast them aside. One of the best features of this mic is that you can receive active sound from it in your headphones when it's live via a mini jack in the base of the mic. Also there's no need for a sound card for it either as it has a really decent one built in. Overall one of the best buys i've made on Amazon.

Samson G-Track

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2012

Style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

I'm an aspiring voice actor who realized he needed good quality recording equipment at home. I chose the G-Track after a lot of Umming and Ahhing between it and the "Blue Yeti", because it is the best mic WITH a built-in mixer in this price range. The option to plug in an instrument or other input won the toss (this way my brother can use it for his musical pursuits). The results from the g-track are GOOD. Undoubtedly, the results from traditional, more expensive, "professional" equipment would be better, but this will suit my purposes perfectly. A lot of people complain of a hiss, but with some reading up on the internet and some tweaking pre and post-recording the quality is spot on for vocals.
A GREAT BUY.

Brilliant Samson GTrack a Life Saver

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2012

Style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

I am recording screencasts for which I need audio but there was always too much noise, which is why I tried this.

I saw many excellent reviews on youtube but was still unsure of spending 100 euros, since was the microphone the
problem or my laptop?

Anyway got the mic, plugged it in and the volume is orders of magnitude greater. The background hum, from my
laptop etc is tiny compared to this so by audio problem is history and I'm delighted.

Strongly Recommend, though of course depends what you are looking for?

I'm not very good with computers or recording equipment. But, I found this microphone very easy to use with Garageband. I'm recording my electric guitar through it and also adding vocal tracks. I find the sound quality fine for my purposes and the price is very fair.
