admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:03:29 +0000

Amazon have reduced the snazzy Samson clip on USB mic by £11.74 to just £34.25. That’s a saving of 26%.

This portable recording microphone is ideal for recording music, podcasts or field recording. Because of its custom, compact design, the Go Mic can clip right onto your laptop or sit unobtrusively on your desk. Plug and play operation also means it’s completely compatible with a Mac OS or Windows, with no drivers required.

The Mic comes with Music Creator software, so you get everything you need to elevate the quality of your podcasts in one box.

I’m not sure how long this mic is going to be on offer for, so it’s worth taking a look it today.

Samson G-Track USB Microphone

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:23:33 +0000

The G-Track from Samson is the worlds first USB condenser microphone with a built in audio interface and mixer. Simply plug in your instrument of choice, whether it’s a drum machine, guitar, keyboard or MP3 player. Plug the mic into your computer and record both vocals and instrument as a finished track. The mic has an on board headphone output for monitoring and a nifty LED that flashes green for go and red for clipping. It also comes bundled with a desktop stand, all the necessary cables and Cakewalk’s Sonar LE music recording software.

The G-Track has a nice, solid build quality although it is a little on the heavy side if your going to be carrying it around with you.

Sound quality is, as you would expect from Samson – pretty decent. I didn’t notice any glitches whilst using it.

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:09:02 +0000

Creative HS800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset with Detachable Noise-Canceling Microphone has got to be the best value headset available today. I’ve tried a few others out recently, but I’m still using the Fatal1ty.

I was just checking prices online today and it is now available at Amazon for only £28.00 This is almost definitely the cheapest on the net and at that price you would be crazy to miss it.

Don’t just take my word for it; read some reviews here.

I don’t work for Creative by the way. I’m just a massive fan of this headset.

Creative HS800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:25:44 +0000

The Fatal1ty Gaming Headset from Creative has been co-developed by world gaming champion Jonathan “Fatality” Wendel. This comfortable headset comes with extra head padding to the plush ear cups. It can be wore for longer gaming sessions without the discomfort and whilst the unit looks rather bulky it is surprisingly quite light. It is also fully adjustable so will fit most head sizes!
Sound quality is excellent; whether your gaming or listening to CD’s and MP3’s. High’s are clear and crisp and the lows are nice and deep. The microphone does everything that is asked of it. It sounds clean and crisp and not only is it adjustable it can be removed from the headset all together which is handy if your just listening to music.
I tested the Fatal1ty whilst playing Call of Duty 4. What can I say? It was a totally different gaming experience. I heard things that I never heard before which added a whole new dimension to the game.

Overall I would thoroughly recommend the Fatal1ty and with prices from around £30 I really feel that it will be on a lot of xmas shopping lists this year.

Blue Microphones USB Snowball ideal for Podcasting

admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:10:47 +0000

Well the Christmas adverts have been on TV for the last few weeks, so I may as well get in the festive mood with my review of the Snowball Usb Microphone from Blue Microphones. If your a keen podcaster or even just a beginner this beautiful if some-what retro looking plug and play mic would make the ideal Christmas gift to yourself. It has great clarity without sounding tinny or sacrificing the lows, it’s wonderfully versatile, due to it’s unique dual-capsule design and it even comes with a stylish tripod desk stand and a USB cable. If your keen to get recording then you just can’t go wrong with this mic. Open your laptop, plug it in and start recording. No audio-interface is required.
