Would this be a good choice in mics to use for VoiceOver work?
Can it do both at the same time?
the one stop solution for everything microphones? PODCASTAGE
it's 2020 now and this statement still holds true. hot damn!
@@semtex6412 yes
podcastage is the best reviewing channel i have ever seen
You, my friend, are too kind. Thanks so much! =)
really appreciate your hardwork you put into your videos you are going a long way
love you brother
Hue lights won’t turn off?
True !
Same
Six years later, I think this is still one of the best microphones for its price.
@June@97 would you recommend this over the q2u?
Still have it ❤
@@slam10ks not even close
@@LilXancheX not even close meaning the C01U is better? Or q2u is better?
@@slam10ksJust replace "not even close" with "no" to your question.
ive literally watched this video 20+ times and I'm still having second thoughts especially after binge-watching every podcastage mic reviews :
podcastage is probably the best reviewing channel I've ever seen, so much effort and quality put into each and every one of his videos. It astonishes me how he has as many subs as he has, with the production quality being equal to that of a multi million sub channel
I really appreicate the kind words man.
I honestly dont know how you haven't blown up... you deserve all the praise you get - these reviews are the most useful things regarding audio and helped me when getting my C01U
GREAT DECISION! This may be my favorite USB mic. I think it sounds AWESOME!
I’ve been using this mic for years and I honestly love it
I’m so thankful for this channel, I’ve been watching you for a couple years now and it makes my life so much easier. When I took s try at CZcams I originally bought the Neewer NW-800 after watching your review. Now that I’m putting more focus into making music I knew I needed to upgrade. I bought this microphone on Amazon yesterday! Thank you so much.
Jackson thank you so much for sharing. It's nice to know that I was able to help someone get a mic that they enjoy. =) Good luck with the music.
Isnt it strange when we see useless channels with over 600-700k subs and channels like these dont.. Dude.. I really hope ull grow as a channel.. U deserve to :)Nice work
thanks so much man.
@@Podcastage tis true and sad tbh
You really helped me understand microphones a lot more with all your videos. Thank you for helping me with my selection. I wish you the best!!
Your channel deserve so much more recognition! Great review!
thank you kindly.
you deserve a lot more subscribers.. AMAZING reviews, thank you. Greetings from Brazil =]
heuhuehuehue br
honestly i love this channel because HE USES IT for the video it just lets me play the video and get the basic thing i need to know:
do it sound good
Wow another vintage Podcastage. You were so innocent then Bandrew. This was the very first Mic I ever bought. I used it quite a bit then went with an AudioTechnica 2100 for a long time. Now I'm a member of the SM7B club and audio interfaces. I just gave this mic away to my son and you're right it's built like a tank and will last forever.
Your videos are very well done, always presented in a very consistent, unbiased and repeatable format which enable us to really make an educated choice yet fit for purpose and never boring.
Thanks!
I really appreciate the kind words.
@@Podcastage nerd
After going back and forth, i've decided to order this mic. It seems perfect for its price. Thank you!
Thanks for these videos man. Your testing is well thought out and covers pretty much all the bases. I watched all of your mic reviews and settled on this c01u pro based on the review, found it on sale at B&H Photo for $60 with free shipping. Keep up the good work man!
That's an absolute steal! Great find!
I have the original version, the c01u, and regularly use it for every single youtube video and singing track I've ever done. It's sturdy, reliable, weighty, a great performer and has a complete sound without editing anything. Love it. Will use it forever!! Great review man.
You are my favorate mics reviewer, ive learned you a lot,, now i decided already what mics fits for me., thank you so much
Your analyzes are the best analyzes ever dude !!
Congratulations from Brasil o/
Awesome video, great in depth review. Much appreciated.
You've helped me so much!! Thanks for all the videos. And... you're gonna hit 2K subs soon!!
+Shiv Lala Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm happy to help.
I am into tutorials and thank you so much for doing the keyboard and mouse test! Great video!
Just got it its a true work of art... I'm so happy
Thanks for the help with your awesome reviews... and I enjoyed your music test 👍
Your video review and audio test help me a lot, thank you very much! (yeah simple, i love simple and it's USB)
So I just spent the last day soundproofing a door by installing curtain wires and hanging heavy moving blankets on both sides, adding further heavy blankets to the actual door, as well as weather stripping and dual door draft stoppers which has made a significant difference already to the amount I can hear from my toddlers (which had made it impossible to record before) and while I'm looking at MVL and sound foam for finishing up my booth/staging area I'd like to get a better MIC for cutting out noise behind the mic. This MIC has an appealing price and comes recommended for recording in noisy environments but I was also considering something like the Shure MVL Centraverse Lav with a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern.
subbed! my go to channel for microphone reviews. in depth and no bias!
Thanks man. Happy to help. Appreciate the kind words.
very useful video, thank you so much!
Well, a big thanks fella !
I guess you'll never see this comments because of old your video are but after watching a lot of review, i can say that you and Booth Junkie are the best channel to see a good review of a microphone.
I've looking for a good review , with each test possible, the background noise, the foot step back test and more but almost all the other review are just simply a voice test without anything, just a minute of speaking loud in the mic and that it "the microphone is ready to go" ..
I could clearly hear the VOX chime that I like, and the acoustic guitar chords, WOW I need this mic.
Can you suggest me which mic is best Samson C01U or blue Yeti well I m going to do voice over
FactwithMr.K I have the 2. the blue nano yeti and the samson c01u. After an extensive voice overs test. Even with yeti's bluevoice "sherpa" voice modeler. It couldn't beat the warm and robust sound quality of my samson. Samson made this microphone for artists who only use basic equalizers and compressors without a headache. I found the yeti best suited for producers who want to waste time on plug-ins. Of course the blue voice of the yeti. It can give you other uses for processed voices. for other purposes.
I always click on Podcastage videos for mic reviews
me to
I hope the best for your channel! Thank you!
these mics are incredible for rap! ive owned a lot of good mics "xlr" kinds and this one is my favorite for hip hop, not so harsh in the top end and the siblance can easily be cut down with a plugin
Lovetohatehatetolove what plug in?
Sudarshan Dahal Denoizing. Search for how to denoize on fl studio for example. It’s very easy!
Good work on 1,000 subscribers! It feels like only a month ago you were at 300... :)
84K now :D
Now at 95K :D
The test makes me feel great when the guitar came in and the song hits the mike hahaa😂🎸 like the review.
NEEDS to be added in comparison between modern USB mics in 2021 :)
THX!
Thanks was trying to get into voice acting and did not know where to start and after seeing some of the prices of mics was starting to feel a bit disheartened but the reviews for the c01u pro seems good all around the net.
Actually bought this mic for some voice-over work and love it so far.
the helped me with my purchase. thank you!
Thx for reviewing . I had got my c01u pro last weeks for my commentary vid
love your review bro !
Thanks so much man. Really appreciate that!
I'm getting this thing tomorrow or the day after, very excited about how it Will sound!
Thanks a lot for all your videos! You saved me so much time!
Hi, thanks for your review! If you have to choose between the Samson C01u microphone and the Neewer mw-7000, which one do you choose?
I have the C01U original. was a decent buy back in the day. still have it just unsure what id use it for nowadays. very nice review, sir.
Thank you that was so useful - I am new to home recording and want to do some Facebook Live sessions and have this mic - just haven't used it yet so I feel confident now that it will do a good job in picking up my voice and harp. Many thanks!!
Best of luck on the streaming.
@@Podcastage Thanks so much for your response and your excellent video!
Subscribed. You have the most awesome review channel. Im buying this mic cause of this vid
I bought this because of you primarily and I love it to bits, I recently moved to the AT2020+ which is nice cuz it's XLR but the upgrade wasn't a massive change since this mic is already great to begin with so I've recommended it to many.
is the mic in this video better than the Auto-Technica2020+USB one? I'm considering the Auto-technica2020+USB. I'm gonna use it for recording vocals on every vocal register
@@summer-sk1xn If you're gonna do voice acting you'll probably want an XLR mic because all USB mics have some level of background noise, whilst XLRs are more clean. If you have to get a USB mic the C01U Pro will suffice. Maybe get the cheaper mic for now and save up for an XLR setup, which is really just an audio interface and the mic itself.
another great video as always , keep it up!
Watched a bunch of your reviews for the very first time today! Love them and subscribed!
I'm trying to pick a decent usb mic in the $100 range that doesn't pick up a lot of background noise (especially keyboard and mouse clicks).
I will likely pick up a boom arm at some point since I hear that that is the most important thing to remove background noise.
Is this still a contender in 2021? Would you recommend a mic other than this for my use case?
Thank you very much for any advice you can give :)
Edit: sorry just wanted to specify I am only interested in streaming / recording voice. Music is not a concern for me.
Yay! 1000 subs! Good job man! :)
+Mechacaseal and I still remember you from that. I think at that time I had like 30 or 40 subs. :)
Bought this bad boy a couple months ago because of this video, really great purchase.
Hey! I love your reviews. I recently also saw the Audio-technica At2020 (it also has a USB version). If you could only take one to a deserted island, which would you take? Thanks for all the awesome reviews!
Even the stand is well built
you got me this time Samson.
Congrats on 1k!
+OutletGames YAY! Thanks! We finally did it! =)
This one sounds absolutely incredible and perfect for what I need - I'll absolutely get this one during summer. Thanks a lot for this review.
hownisbthe mic so far? does it pick up ac and fan sounds and is there any hiss in the mic?
@@bryanteehee682 getting it next week, but I've heard a friend test it in front of his mechanical keyboard and it seemed pretty good.
@@Hablmet hkw bout air condition and fans? Does it still pick up those?
@@bryanteehee682 depends on the fans of course.. With some proper placement it shouldn't register them. There's also the extra software from Samson.
THANK YOU for doing my request
+SirTurtleMaster Well thank you very much for the request! =)
+Podcastage I'm glad you liked it :'D
dude you are the best channel on youtube thanks for your review
Picked it up used for $60 shipped with a boom arm and pop filter. Can't wait to get it.
Just got my hands on this mic, great sound, thank you for review! Also, great channel, big ol' thumbs up for you, Bandrew! Keep on!
How does the mic behave? I want to use it for streaming, would be glad if you could tell me how the mic is.
@@Link-Bling I'm very satisfied with it, got a boom arm, shock mount and a pop filter and I'm rockin'. :)
Hiii, could you pls give us a detailed explanation on how your voice sounds so fine and crisp and what daw you use and all that, my results with the co1u pro is alot different than yours.
Hey can you do a review of the EACH G4000, I saw your g2000 video and accidently ordered the g4000....I decided not to cancel. oh yeah, congrats on 1k, you have helped me since, I also ordered the BM 800 and the sabrent in a cart with the g4000, thanks.
Bought this microphone because of this review. Keep it up bro! 👍
Took me out with the unexpected vocals and guitar! 😂😂
Very well done! Thank you for.the review😇
damn, this review helps me a lot... thanks pal! you've just gained a sub.
Well, you convinced me.
Waiting for 10 000 subs so I can all caps lock "ITS OVER 9000".
+EpicSlambox I think for the entire time I'm in 9000 subs range, I will do something to incorporate Hal 9000 in every video. =) Just because.
Thanks for the review! Very very useful :)
I bought it and I just received this mic....damn...it's really great :)
Thanks for your advice Bandrew :)
That's what I like to hear.
Thanks for another great review. I was wondering have you any videos where you review mic stands or suspension scissor arm boom stands. Actually, what do you prefer, standard mic stands or suspension scissor arm stands? I heard that the suspension scissor arm boom stands will weaken over a short period of time and can't handle heavier more well constructed mics. I was recently faced with a purchasing dilemma where I had to decide on which one of the two to buy. I decided to go with the standard floor stand. However, I am still thinking about getting the suspension scissor arm in the future. I must admit, I think they look pretty cool. Also, I agree with the PlayXGame. You know, you are one of the best at doing product reviews, and I think that we viewers should spread the word about this channel to manufacturers, especially when it comes to the products we want you to review. I think that would help the channel and as well help us make better consumer purchasing decisions. Thanks, again and two thumbs up!!!
Hi, Great videos, very informative. I am considering this Samson mic. I am also curious about the UHURU UM-900 have you reviewed this mic? If not do you plan to?
Thanks a million for the review. I know it is old already, but I seriously need a new mic!!!! Been using my headset, but it sounds like I am talking in a tunnel!!!
Yay! Great content! Keep calm and make more videos like this and you will get at least 50.000 subscribers!!! By the way this was my suggestion! ;)
+Gârtu - Nebunu cu controlleru' Thanks so much! I got plenty more videos coming. You have one in the list I believe. This gentleman requested the mic first though. =)
which is better? samson meteor or co1u pro or the bm/nw microphones?
c01u pro sounds best to me
both are in the same price point but this one captures voice in a much well balanced way almost without the need for the pop filter it seems
the rest are almost same
also, this one picks up less ambient noise and the volume knob on meteor is actually pretty useless in most practical scenarios
what is the difference between samson C01 and Samson C01U pro.. i have already a focusrite scarlett 2i2 Audio box..what if i go for C01? can you suggest me?
Have not used C01. I'm guessing it's an XLR version of the mic though.
yes right :D i am getting a C01 XLR version :D
4:28 woah that "Simple Plan" vibes there.
Hi, just wondering which one is better foam windscreen or pop filter for this mic? im going to buy this mic for my youtube comentary, streaming and gaming.
This is a cool mic, thanks for the review!
The last week I "waste" a few hours watching a lot of microphone reviews in this channel :)
Currently, I have Samson Q1U (dynamic microphone), after seeing some review I plan to buy Rode NT-USB, but then I see this review, since you "don't hate this microphone", now I'm not sure if I should buy this instead.
Any suggestion?
I think you've sold me this mic, boss. I've been creating videos for about three months using my TurtleBeach X12 headset (Everyone has to start somewhere) (which does have a small condenser mic) but it's time to upgrade. You can only do so much with mic placement and Audacity's noise-cancelling features.
You've earned a sub for the FANTASTIC quality and content in your videos (I've already watched several shootout vids of yours and this mic is by far a favorite at this price point)
Keep it up!
Awesome man! Thanks for the kind words, and best of luck on your channel.
Podcastage Thank you, kind sir. I would say the same for you, but given how much informative entertainment you're packing, you'll be on the top soon enough!
I mean it, man. You're something special. I had to wade through miles of troglodyte-driven trite to arrive at your oasis :)
Best of luck, boss (c'mon, I couldn't leave my response at that) and have a pleasant evening.
Great review. How are the headphone amps on this mic?
Thank you for this review
i bought this mic sometime last week and its not working properly as (it has a disturbing sound when recording ) so any suggestions on to fix this problem ?
Thanks. I had to adapt for ubuntu 20.04, but it was almost the same.
Thank you @Podcastage
thank you, dear. this is good
This mic or the samson g track? 😬 I have the meteor mic and using it for recording music but it has so much hissing noise and picks up all the background noise
Hello, Good Day Sir,
Did you use any eq in this sound test? I hopenyou reply
Thanks
Would this be a good
Microphone for me being a rapper/singer for decent quality .Or would the Samson g track pro be better ?
With the C01U Pro, i need to buy an interface or they have interface inclued like Samson G Track?
Got this mic recently thanks to this advice. Super late, but thanks for the advice anyway!
I just bought this mic...I agree this is the best 🎙i already started using for my vlog ☺...
Thanks for Highlighted my comment...I'm your subscriber starting now :-) Thanks.
thanks for the review
I took your advice and ordered this mic and I have to tell ya your review was spot on it's an amazing Mic
Jamie - I'm so happy to hear it is working out well for you. I just did a comparison of this mic recently, and I still think it sounds pretty darn good. It has a few technical limitations 7 years later, but sound wise, still pretty great. Thrilled you're liking it. Happy recording.
@@PodcastageDo you mean the Rode NT USB+ test? By limitations do you mean something else besides 16bit recording?
My dad uses this mic for his podcasts and it sounds really good, so I'm wondering is this a good mic for streaming ?
Excelente Review. Thank you.
This sounds like such a good mic but I feel like my audio interface would just be collecting dust since I won't be needing it /:
So can you record a song using this mic and save the recording on your computer? As this is what I would need:)
