I also appreciate the other comments as well. I am a female spoken word artist and it's been awhile since I have recorded anything, my my ---THINGS HAVE CERTAINLY CHANGED . . . FOR THE BETTER--- I have been doing a lot of research on this mic in particular and on the Samson Go Mic as well. I agree with you that Samson could have easily included the Pop Filter with the package deal to make it ideal. However, since they didn't can I simply use one of the old standard mic filter that just fits right onto the mic itself? Again, thanks for an excellent review and presentation. By the way, I will be using Adobe Audition. What do you think about that music creator software? Sincerely, Net-Hetep Dallas, TX Hello Chris,

I use GarageBand on the Mac, and there is an option to turn on monitoring. Most recording software should offer similar functionality. BTW, I wouldn't use stereo mix if you are recording narration. Hi Lee,

How long did you allow for the mic to install the driver software on your computer? I was able to remedy the problem, but I wish I had saved my notes on that experience. Try Googling things like Samson C03U driver install problem. Amanda,

The sound recording is set as 'Samson C03U' but the playback is set to 'VIA Audio (WAVE)' so i'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Does anyone know how I can change the playback format to make it sound good quality? It doesn't sound clear at all!

I'm not familiar with GoldWave. I've always stayed on the Mac side of the fence when it comes to multimedia. Paul, sorry for the late response. I’m not familiar with GoldWave.

If this set it not as perfect as another one - then which one is the best? I prefer to spend under $250 for everything I need for the mic, and if I could everything for even less that would be nice. So, is there a perfect solution? Lisa Chris,

It's nice to know there are others out there that have tried everything and come up with the answers in order to make it easier for the rest of us. While I'm at it. I've seen your reviews on audio editing programs but I've not seen you mention GoldWave. I've used it for years (with my PC) and really like it. How would you compare it to Audacity and some of the others? Take care, Paul Chris,
