How to Install a Samson G-Track

Modern technology makes creating your own high-quality audio recordings at home easier than ever. You can make studio-quality recordings on your computer by using one of many studio software applications. When recording at home, your microphone choice is important. Condenser microphones are used in studio recording because they offer increased high- and low-end response. The Samson G-Track is a USB condenser mic that eliminates the need for an interface for connecting microphones to your computer.
