Hello All,
I have been lurking for awhile and trying to get a feel for the forums here. So hopefully I won't sound like a troll(Peanuts do sound good now). I guess that I am a early adpoter of the USB Microphone. I did all the research that I could on USB Microphones and was about to buy the C01U from Samson($80). Then I heard about the SnowBall from B.L.U.E.($140)did some research and found it to be well worth the extra money. I bought a SnowBall from GC when they 1st came out and this is one sharp little Microphone. If you need some comparison to the C01U, I found a reveiw and you can read it here. I wrote Ric Ford over at MacInTouch and gave him my thoughts on the SnowBall and you can read the review here! I think that it also important to hear the SnowBall in action. A guy by the name of Robert C. Andrews did a song with his acostic guitar and recorded with his SnowBall called "Stay Away Woman"! One more thing I use the SnowBall and you can check my website XXXXXXX click on demo's. All the demo's recorded with the SnowBall with the -10db pad engaged into Peak LE4 with some compression added plus a few "other" things. I hope this information helps.

Warmest Regards,
