Which incidentally is similar to Sonic Foundry/Sony ACID for the mac.
Mind you ACID was out way before GarageBand...

(sorry, had to slide that in as a reminder that GarageBand wasn't the first
composition/looping tool of it's kind)

not hatin, just trying to keep it straight]]>Sep 20th 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/
Same thing with the "semi-pro" comment. M-Audio is top quality stuff. It's just priced to be affordable so Mac\Pro-Tools snobs try to hate.]]>Sep 20th 2007 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/
yeah sure, but don't get it twisted...acid got its roots in windows way before it feel into the hands of some unix engineers, the failures of any ICS program.]]>Sep 20th 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/
Um, you do realize that M-Audio is owned by DigiDesign, who makes Pro Tools, right? There's even a special version of Pro Tools made to work on M-Audio hardware.

A lot of Mac and ProTools users really like some of M-Audio's stuff, myself included.]]>Sep 20th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/Sep 20th 2007 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/Sep 20th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/Sep 20th 2007 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/Sep 20th 2007 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/m-audio-introduces-the-session-music-producer-usb-mic/

Semi-Pro is an understatement. This is low quality entry level
mic. Most decent entry level mics cost a minimum of $300. You are
not gonna get a good vocal sound with that thing, maybe something
that is possibly usable for pod-casting. And that samson??? I have
a real samson mic, the C01, that has an XLR connection like real mics
are supposed to unlike the C01U (USB); And you know what? IT'S STILL
A TOY. You want a decent vocal mic, for any/all purpose? Save
yourself up $1000, and buy a Neumann TLM 103, and even then, there
are way better mics you could use for any type of vocal application.
And this is without even getting into preamps for your mic. USB mics,
well, their built in pre's, if they even can be called that, are
garbage. You are not going to get a good mic for that cheap, so
don't go bragging about these. If you want to just do some home
pod-casting and don't need good quality equipment, and don't want to
make the investment in a real audio interface (digidesign, apogee,
MOTU) , or real software (Logic, Protools, Cubase, Nuendo), then
that's fine and dandy. But if you're interested in REAL GEAR, go to
a place like guitar center, and go look in their microphone case (
the one with large-diaphragm condenser mics in it, not the one with
live mics in it like the SM58 or E609), and you'll see that you'll
pay a pretty penny for a mic that is made anywhere but china. And
most of the sub $1000 mics (of different brands) all have their
capsules/diaphragms built in the same freakin chinese factory anyway.
All those "great deals" on sets of MXL mics and octavas that they
advertise at the stores are, you guessed it, too good to be true.
Like i said, if you're a hobbyist, and you just want a USB mic to get
by with podcasting, good for you, go for it, i'm all for it; But I
don't see a point in calling people who use pro equipment and pro
software pretentious, especially when the ACTUALLY know what they are
talking about.
