Best of luck to you and thanks for inadvertently reminding me that I need to join vidme. Looking back, I just wasn't used to a microphone being able to record what my true to life voice sounded like.

It didn't sound like I wanted it to either. I remember being unhappy the first time I heard a recording of my voice on this mic. The C01U does tend to record flat, you could try messing aroudn by boosting some low end (or whatever you're looking for)with an EQ in post. 7 : Noise level around -36DB, with similar voice level, no clip. XP : Noise level around -48DB, with proper voice level, no clip.


I'm not sure what you're unhappy with but as a fellow Samson C01U user i'm going to guess that you'd like some of the lower range to come through more. Every single posts I read about the G-Track on Windows 7 said the same thing: Static Noise higher than normal. Always better to record at a low volume and turn it up later. Adding a pop filter will make place you back another inch or so anyway, which is a good thing. Normally I'd say that you're too close to that particular mic but it sounds like you do a good overall job of keeping your volume in check so you'll probably avoid clipping. Don’t buy a “USB Soundcard” because they are like laptops with only mic-in and headphone-out.No problem man. (The Behringer UCA 202 is popular and inexpensive). If you’re using a laptop with no line-in, the best solution is to get a USB interface with line inputs. If you have a desktop computer, use the blue line-input on your soundcard. (Regular headphones will work but you need a different plug if you want to use a mic.)Īnd… Although the microphone input should “work”, the mic input is too sensitive for a headphone-level or line-level signal, and the mic preamps built into consumer soundcards are usually poor quality, and they are usually mono (I don’t know if your keyboard is mono or stereo). I’ve tried running a quarter-inch/mini plug cable from the earphone jack in the keyboard to my computer’s input for microphone but Audacity doesn’t see that either.ĭoes your computer have a separate microphone & headphone jacks or a combo connector? If you have a combo jack you need a special 4-conductor TRRS plug to make the microphone contact. (Or, your MIDI software can send the information to your keyboard to play it automatically.) With a MIDI application, the MIDI port only sends note & volume (velocity) information and the sounds are generated by your MIDI software. It looks like your keyboard’s USB port is for MIDI & data transfer (not audio).
