 GREAT for laptop recording solution Oct 29, 2009
By wadrad
This will be a nice semi-quick review with a little more technical perspective than a lot of the previous ones. I'm a big home recording nut, who's been on the road a lot the last year, mostly recording with my laptop, this mic, and a full version of Sonar.
First off, the audio quality:
Pretty decent. No noticeable glitches while using. Does sound a little tinny at times, but it's definitely on par with most of my other $100+ mikes (my most expensive one is a $200 Rode). Very usable for recording vocals (singing), but I haven't tried it with an acoustic guitar or other acoustic instruments. VERY-usable-plus for recording spoken words. Frequency range seems decent, but again, I haven't really ran the thing through a full range of applications.
Build quality:
Nice and solid. Almost too heavy though for easy lugging on small trips...but I keep it in the manufacturer's box and slide it in my suitcase, and so far it has made every trip just fine.
Ease of use:
Big plus here, despite a stable Windows OS possibly being as much responsible for the super simple use of the thing as the mic itself. Plug it in via USB, and you're ready to go. No special driver install or software required to get it working.
Extras:
- Line in and headphone out are constructed directly on the mic...this lets you use the mic as a line-in for recording an electronic keyboard or electric guitar directly into your recording software. And then you can use the microphone part of it to record vocals or any acoustic instruments. Nice double-feature to have in the same piece of hardware
- Comes with a very usable desk mic stand
- Comes with all the necessary cables to use right away
- Comes with some scaled-down Cakewalk recording software for your computer
I expected the sound quality would be usable and it is, but I admit the all-in-one extras and the acceptable price were what ultimately snagged me and prompted the one-click order.
Final thoughts:
If you're only doing podcasting (no music or instrument input required), you might consider a lower priced USB mic without the extras. BUT, if you're doing music with the thing, the line-in and line-out features and easy direct monitoring are way nice and worth the price.

Very good sounding mike - How do they do it? May 12, 2009
By Peter O. Swanson
I've worked for for radio stations doing classical music recording & live 'casts. My expectations for any mike at this price are pretty modest.
Boy, was I surprised!!! I can only address voice recording, as that's all I've used it for so far, but WOW! It sounds good enough that I was wondering if I'd gotten a "freak?" Seeing the number of 5 star reviews, I think it's simply a great product for the price. Do consider getting the shock mount, for best results. For voice-overs, I use it on a floor stand and read standing up. Better diaphragmatic breath control - I need all the help I can get. Makes me sound like I'm using an AKG 414 (just not quite as good s/n). A real keeper!

Great Quality Dec 16, 2008
By Saul Cisneros
"SaulCast"
Before buying this I was mainly concerned with quality (best value for the money). I had initially considered the AKG Perception 100, but it needs XLR inputs. Buying an input device for my pc or a usb mixer, would have put me over budget.
The Samson G Track exceeded my expectations. I use it for Podcasting and film post production. I do not hear any background noise. The sound is solid. You can't go wrong with this mic.

wow! better than expected Jan 29, 2009
By G. Egerton
i am very impressed. i've been playing around with line in and mics for recording using Garageband with mixed results. I plugged in this mic and 1) it worked the first time, 2) the sound quality is adequate (although a bit volume sensitive) , 3) i love the multi track recording, 4) no noticeable latency. I am very pleased for the price.

HANDS DOWN BEST MIC I EVR OWNED!!! May 05, 2009
By Jennifer C. Jonquet
let me start by saying two things..i have owned every mic out there , usb.. phantom powered..., etc...and i have been playing music for 18 years now...i record my own music, in my own studio...jazz ,punk, metal , rock , blues , etc....this is by far the best mic out there period...people who say other wise DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE IT!!! take some time , read the manual, adjust settings, move it around to find your sweet spot...vocal recording...check ...guitar recording(acoustic and electric) ...check ....drums/percussion ...check.... or record the whole damn band at once and burn it to a cd!!!the only downside to this package is the crappy free software they throw in , which is barely usable...us the free program AUDACITY , for near pro qualty studio results...i guess GARAGE BAND , will work also...this comes with just just about every audio plug in adapter known to man......nice product...need better software bundle though!!!!...bravo SAMSON...very cool indeed!!!
