    You are so right about that cable -- and about the microphone. Tell it! And I'm glad to see you got it off the tabletop and up closer to your mouth, on a sturdy arm with a sturdy base. That is definitely the way to make the most of it.

    bro I bought the same samson g track pro but it was taking a hell lot noise and the headphone connector was also like If I put the headphone jack full fit than sound was coming low and wrong kind of output like background was louder than the main voice, like center voice was faded but background was loud, if putting the jack half then it was all great sound output,
    but after watching you video I think I need to change the cable which came with the mic and then try it again, I hope it will fix the issue

    Great review. I have the same Samson and the mic is amazing. But I had it in the stand for almost 2 years and now I literally just got the Boom arm. Now I have a question. What are you using to hold the mic? I want to buy the Samson sp04 shock mount. But I feel is to big? What piece are you using? I like it, It looks simple and now to bulky like the shock mount might look

    I recently got this mic, and sometimes it will randomly start blasting scratchy or distorted audio through my headphones when they are plugged into the back of the microphone, and other times it causes an error with my audio driver, yet 95% of the time it's usually fine. Did you have similar problems before replacing the cable, or do you think it could be because of the cable?

    • @rashadjones
      @rashadjones  3 роки тому

      Your first place to look is the cord. It was really finicky and distorted. Some of my recordings were terrible, but it’s been consistently great after I changed the cord.

    I just bought this mic, the first one came with a problem on the P2 jack monitor, so I changed it for another one and now, this one works fine. But still, there is a problem with this microphone making a sort of static noise, sometimes sounds like wind, when connected to my computer. Is this related to the cable problem you mentioned? The noise is really annoying, and the microphone is brand new, just bought it 5 days ago.

    • @rashadjones
      @rashadjones  3 роки тому

      It’s possible. I would still change it, so you can rule that out.

    • @rashadjones
      @rashadjones  3 роки тому

      Also, make sure you consider the ambient noises in your room, i.e., hvac. The mic is really sensitive to picking up sounds, especially on omni mode. You may have to turn down the mic volume and bring it up in post. These are just some things to think about. Good luck!

    I bought a Samson G Track Pro micophone, the day before yesterday. My operating system is used on WINDOWS 10. I found that the microphone recording volume was abnormally low and the settings did not work. I was very disappointed.
