Samson G-Track Pro is hands down the most clean & crisp sounding of the two.

Note to Windows users: The Yeti lets you set gain using either the hardware knob on the mic, and/or by setting the levels in Windows Sound Control Panel>Recording tab>(Yeti icon)>Levels. You can adjust these in any combination of Windows levels and/or hardware gain knob (although I don't recommend taking too long at these experiments!). With the Samson G-Track Pro, the Levels in Windows (and in your DAW) will appear frozen at either 0 or 100%, and all gain adjustments must be made on the microphone knob. This is "as designed". This gives the Samson mic a narrower range of possible signal levels than the Yeti -- but, the G-track gain is adequate even for Windows 10, and to me it definitely sounds way better than the Yeti.

@@LlfeMinecraft true but fanboyism aside, when you analyze the frequencies for recording purposes, the G-Track Pro has more body and refined mids that come out naturally out of the box. If you're doing voice overs and podcasting work, the G-Track pro can likely do both well. The Yeti suits podcasts but won't be as good for voice overs.

#podcastage Can you recommend a good USB mixer to go with the G-Track Pro to use with win10 for youtube/twitch and podcasts? I am curious as well, NOT that I'm going to get one, but the Razer Elite has a high pass filter to cut out background noise... Does the G-Track Pro have a HPF or do you have to do it in post processing for recorded videos, and if the G-Track doesn't have a High pass filter, what would you do during a live stream to eliminate background noise other than a POP filter ? I see the blue yeti pro comes with software.. My heads spinning on trying to make a viable choice, I really like Rode mics as well but want to keep my costs realistic under the $500 budget with the boom arm, pop filter, mixer and mic if POSSIBLE

I've since recommended it to 3 friends who are also very happy with it
