Samson C01U not working in LE8

I can't get my Samson C01U USB microphone to work with LE8.
Many others also have the same problem, while Apple stores sell both LE8 and the Samson C01U microphone.
Is there someone out there that has the solution to make the microphone work with Logic Express 8 or do I have to go back to the store and ask my money back for LE8 (as GarageBand works perfectly with the Samson C01U and LE8 claims to be a step higher up the ladder
It didn't work in Tiger and it also doesn't work in Leopard either, please help.
Cheers, Ron de Jong

I know you said that you've done this, but this is available.

Straight from the horses mouth.
I'd say remove everything that you have made as an agg/device and try staring using the steps in the samsontech article.
If the mic isn't directly connected to the macs usb ports you might have issues. Try no hub if you're on one.
I'm on OS 10.4.11 though. Don't know if that makes any difference, but I did have the same problem you did with that mic. You'll dig it once you have it hooked up.

  • Samson C01U Condenser Mic

    I found several sources that mentioned using aggregate devices to get the samson C01U Mic working in Logic Express. The instruction says to choose the C01U and "Built in Audio" from the list in the add aggregate device screen. However, "Built in audio" does not exist whereas "built in output" and "built in input" do. I can get my MIC to work only when I choose built in output along with C01U. The problem is I get output through my speakers when I'm recording. I never did when I used the same mic in Garageband. I am accustomed to hearing the other tracks and not hearing the input stuff I'm recording. This also makes the system prone to feedback. What can I do?

    No I didn't. My hunch is that selecting Built in output in the aggregate device editor causes the recording to output similar to input monitoring. Guess I'll have to deal with it. The end result is that I am struggling with latency. I would just rather not hear what I'm playing (other than the live sound) while I record.

  • Samson C01U worked fine on G4 PPC but has extensive digital hiss on Imac

    I love this microphone, and used to use it on a G4 PPC where it worked absolutely fine. The only noise it picked up was from the noisy computer. Now I have a quiet Imac and the Mic pics up a lot of digital noise. It isn't amplifying anything in the room. For instance if I turn the input level all the way down in Apple MIDI Setup all the way down it still comes through. Any ideas how to remedy this? Is this a power to USB port issue?
    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Samson C01U advice

    afternoon all.
    i recently bought a samson c01u usb condensor mic for gettin vocals down on my recordings. 1st of all, im very happy with the quality of the recordings.
    however, im finding some words are being picked up less, and as a result get lost when added as a layer to a mix. and vice versa, sometimes some words are louder and stand out too much in the mix.
    i think this is to do with mic positioning, and the mic being a hyper cardioid pickup pattern, i probably move around too much when recording.
    however, with the recordinigs all ready done, is there anything i can use in audition to balance out the levels? so amplify the quieter, and reduce the louder waves?
    please note, this is only very subtle stuff, but i like stuff to be as perfect as poss and dont really wanna go through each individual track and boost the volumes individually, so if theres another way please let  me know.
    im on audition 3.0, also have 1.5
    thanks guys
    andy

    cheers bob, just by tryin the smooth vocal preset it actually worked wonders, and i did a little EQ'ing myself to give the vocals a little more top end, and they're comin through much nicer know.thanks.andy

    Have a play with compression effect under the Amplitude and Compression/Dynamics Processing menu.
    You'll have to play with the adjustments to get exactly what you want but, if the need is as slight as you describe, perhaps start with the "Smooth Vocal" preset then adjust from there.  The graphic display will probably give you a hint about what's going on, but, to use it properly, it's probably worth doing some Googling and some background reading on what compression (and the available adjustments do.
    However, at the most basic, you will be applying some limiting to all sounds above a certain level, meaning that when you apply some "make up gain" the ratio between the quiet and louder bits gets smaller.
    Too much and you may hear artefacts but to increase the intelligibility, it's just the ticket.

    whats small,free, and reliable audio recording software? on Mac OS X.10.4.5

    Cubase LE is good, but Garageband, part of the iLife 06 suite is nice. I recorded a vocal trio to backing tracks and mixed it down to CD using only the effects provided in the program.
    Like any software recording system, the more effects you add the more processing power you're using up, but garageband works real well.
    I used the Presonus Firepod as an interface, worked fine. Any interface box will work.
    If you're only doing a single audio input for a podcast, then Quicktime pro is good. It's not free, but for 30+ bucks it's worth the investment.
    I've used a piece of Shareware.... D-SoundPro
    you can google search it. Nice stand alone piece of software, does some amazing things with audio for a shareware product.
    Hope this helps.

  • Samson C01U usb mic/low input level

    I recently bought a Samson C01U usb condenser mic to use with Garageband to record voice and piano for my music studio. When I plug it in, it is recognized in system preferences/Sound. But when I try to record in Garageband, the input level monitor barely responds. I've selected Mono 1, as advised by tech support at Samson. I can't figure out why this mic isn't working, since it's recommended for this exact purpose. I don't think I should need a pre amp, but now am wondering if I do. I'd be so grateful for any advice.

    You know, the Samson C01U worked ok with the SoftPre software from Samsontech under Tiger. The input levels could be bumped up sufficiently for the **** thing to actually work even if the input signal was still on the low side.
    Since SoftPre doesn't work with Leopard, the C01U is basically an expensive paperweight.
    Since Samsontech seem incapable of getting their act together in putting out an operational Leopard compatible SoftPre software release, my advice to the wider Mac community is to BOYCOTT THEM! If Samsontech aren't receptive to consumer needs and flexible enough to act accordingly when the OS is updated, they deserve to suffer the commercial consequences - period!
    I'm looking forward to the liberating ritual of taking a giant sledgehammer and obliterating my now useless, overpriced Samson C01U. It's going to be awesome !

  • Premiere CC 2014 and Samson C01U USB mic

    Hi, I have a problem with a samson C01U USB microphone because premiere cc 2014 doesn't recognize it in the hardware section (mac version). It's curious because Audition recognizes it perfectly and it works ok. Any solution? Thanks

    Using USB mics in Pr on OS X can be... challenging.  Run the Audio Midi Setup utility (part of OS X) and create a new Aggregate Device.  In said, add the USB mic as the "input", along with whatever output device you're using (Line Out, Built-In, etc) as the output.
    Back to Pr in the Audio Hardware config, choose that new Aggregate Device as your sound device.  Since you put both the mic and your output devices into it, you'll be able to use that as an input and output device.
    Finally, you're going to want to create a new audio track that's mono-only.  Use that track to record from the mic.
    That should do the trick for you.

    hey all I finally got my AD_EXT wire to make my audigy 2 card work with the front dri've bay but the problem now is I am in vista ultimate 32bit, all drivers installed right, all cables plugged in but the mic2 is not working....... I'm using a dynamic mic Samson Q7 microphone with the XLR cable. This microphone I heard does not need a preamp so it should powered up.

    Hi
    The WF should also trigger if i add the Partner function in UI.If i change any Attribute the WF triggers but i dont want to change the attribute when i add the partner function.
    If i have only one event for WF that is Partner Change the WF will not trigger it for the 1st time when i save the UI. But next i come to the same saved doc and add a partner function then the Wf triggers.
    So this means that Partner change is active.
    the issue here is i need to trigger the WF on , the 1st time i save the UI, for which i wil be using Attribute Change and next time when i come back to saved doc the and add only the partner function and no changes are made to attributes the WF should again trigger.
    Thanks

  • IPhone 4 Voice Memos not working/saving

    Hi there,
    I'm having trouble with my voice memos too. Up until yesterday they were working fine and now, even though the record button works, the stop button does not and I can only pause them. Worse again is that the button to go into the menu to view all voice memos is not working so I can't play them from my iPhone and nothing new is saving to my iTunes. Please help!

    I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
    By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.
