Overview
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 monitoring through an on board headphone output. 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.

People have been complaining about it being "very noisy" with garageband, however, you just have to unplug it and plug it in again. I had it go fuzzy half way through recording a couple times but its rare for it to do that, just try not running several programs at the same time as garageband/recording. Its really quite the evolution for a USB mic. I'm very impressed overall.

A great mic. The other reviewer is mis-informed

Great unit. Great price. Gret compatibility. Works in all softwares, and has terrific sound and control.
The other reviewer cle…Read morearly has no idea what he is talking about. Cakewalk Sonar LE is NOT SUPPORTED by OSX, which is why it is not included in the package from Apple (apple.com needs to change their product page on this mic, that is an official word from Samson).
Also the mic clip DOES attatch to the stand if the user removes the Euro Mic Adapter from the inside of the mic clip (which Samson is nice enough to include for all users, not just the US). All he needed to do that was a US quarter or a flat-head screwdriver. But I guess that's above his head to try.
All in all, this is the best Songwriting tool a singer/mac user has ever had.

The ability to control headphone volume and another instrument right form the mic capsule, makes for no time lost in the creative process. Best thing to come down the pike in years for on the fly laptop recording!
