A solution for the technically deprived guitar player?
Howdy shedmanekies
What are your thoughts on this gizzmo? (click the title link. I have been checking on it for the past week mainly on YouTube demos and its seems that it might be useful to budding bluesboys. What do my technofreak mates think?
It appears to overcome some of the problems and moans I've seen (Paul, Frankie) but I'll let the review below tell you about the good bits:
The Samson G-Track (GM1U) USB condenser mic that also functions as and audio interface and mixer. As well as a high-quality recording microphone there is also an input for guitar or line it. This will enable you to simultaneously record vocals and instruments while monitoring through a headphone output. The device is shipping NOW, complete with a sturdy cast iron stand and a copy of Sonar LE. (Note: Mic works on both PC and Mac but bundled software is PC only). The G-Track is the perfect solution if you want to record and monitor at the same time - zero latency monitoring is available through the headphones. So as well as a high-quality solution for recording guitar and vocals, it is also ideal for Karaoke style applications. In fact you just won't get this kind of functionality at this price anywhere else. The Samson GTrack really is a one stop recording and playback solution.
The G-Track is a total solution capable of taking you from your musical inspiration to your finished tracks. Samson's G-Track is the world's first USB condenser microphone with a built-in audio interface and mixer, allowing simultaneous input of vocals and guitar, bass, or keyboard while also providing zero-latency monitoring through an on board headphone output. (FAQ What is latency? It is the time gap between what you record and what you hear. With the G-Track there is no gap!)
The G-Track allows you to record vocals like a standard USB mic, or two mono instruments through the line/instrument input, or a mix of one mono instrument and vocal. Now singer/songwriters can directly record vocals and instruments quickly and easily with one device, making the G-Track a must have for any songwriter's home studio. And its ease of use and portability allows you to take it anywhere inspiration may strike you.
Ideal for the traveling musician or the project studio, the G-Track ships with a desktop mic stand, swivel stand mount, USB cable and all the cables needed to connect any musical instrument with a standard 1/4" or RCA output. The G-Track ships with Cakewalk's Sonar LE and it also works brilliantly with Apple's GarageBand or any other DAW or Music Software.
Key Features
Large diaphragm studio condenser microphone
Mic and Instrument/Line gain control with clip LED
Stereo input jacks for instruments or line level signal
Stereo headphone jack for no latency monitoring with level control
3-position headphone switch for stereo, mono, computer monitoring
USB bus-powered and compliant
Audio I/O and USB cables included
Desktop microphone stand included
Optional Samson SP04 shockmount available - a spider mount especially designed for the G Track.
So thats it. A lot of fans do not use the bundled sofware it seems, prefering Audacity the free sound editing programme. There is also the problem that you end up with mono channeling (eg voice on left channel, guitar on right channel if the author/artist does the mix but since you are all hoping to build on each other's track's (ie record them as clean single tracks eg 'only guitar' or 'only voice' this might nmot be such a problem. Also there is software available that will convert separated stereo channeling to balanced two channel mono!

PS Youse should all get email now notifying if someone posts in response to Neil's observation that no one is using it (except for the converted) - I hope it won't be so quiet now Paul!
