    Re: *** SAMSON Studio Mic ***

    I bought one at Audiophile at Mall of Asia. Got to admit the audiophile there is the best shop I ever been to so far. Oh yeah make sure you call first because the stocks of the mic is kind of limited. I bought it around 3.8k I think..I don't remember I card it! :) another note..if your going to buy a stand for desktop don't do it buy the whole stand I made a mistake since I won't be recording sitting down :)

    Re: *** SAMSON Studio Mic ***

    Mura pala...at that price, makes me wonder why I am so concerned about the slight ambient noise. This mic should be a no-brainer.

    I was originally planning to buy a Lexicon alpha (P2,500) and maybe an SM57 (P7000) - and even THAT isn't perfect because the SM57's level is too low, not to mention that its susceptible to pops.

    I heard (but I dont know if I was hearing correctly) that you can record an instrument with this mic, meaning dual input. Is that right?

    I haven't tried it, but I think It's feasible, but not with GB, since as far as my experience with the software goes, it only allows one input at a time.

    Have it checked where you bought it, or call Audiophile first and check if they have a service center.

    for dual input on garageband, you'll need to create an aggregate device. this should help: http://www.thegaragedoor.com/tutorials/agg.html

    otherwise, you'll need to get an interface that's capable of multichannel audio input.

    Re: *** SAMSON Studio Mic ***

    if a USB mic is the like the LX3 of a DSLR (pro recording), what's the update on this samson usb mic? is it still the best buy or are there better choices now?

    for those who regularly record using USB mics, what would be your top 5 USB mics approximating the pro recording studio setup?

    I've been using the Samson CO1U, and it actually gives good vocal recordings with very minimal or even no hiss even in a non-sound
    proofed environment.

    Re: *** SAMSON Studio Mic ***

    The Samson CO3U mic seems to be out of stock lately at Audiophile (local dealer) with no word when they will have it again.

    Anyone knows what other local stores have these on stock for about the same fair price? (5k+)

    Really need help ASAP... :confused:
