Logic Pro and Samson C01-U
This is a boring googlefood page: How to get Logic Pro to recognize a Samson C01U microphone.
- Don’t be in Logic Pro – exit if you’re in it.
- Open a Finder window and navigate to /Applications/Utilities
- Double-click on Audio MIDI Setup
- From the menubar, Audio -> Open Aggregate Device Editor
- Create a new Aggregate Device. Name it “Samson Mike” or something.
- Check the Use checkbox beside both Samson C01U and Built-in Output
- In the Clock column, click beside Built-in Output
- Click Done. You can exit the MIDI setup.
- Open Logic Pro. Go into Logic Pro -> Preferences -> Audio
- You should now be able to select “Samson Mike.”

Hi,
Many many thanks! Your set up instructions for Samson CO1U with Logic really solved my problem. I looked for the online tips many time to make this mic work in Logic but none of the information helped me. Luckily got to read your guidance and when I applied it worked perfectly. Just had my flute recording done. I think there are many other users who might find this information effective and helpful.

Actually the way it work for me in my MAC OS 10.6.2 is when I select [Use] first for the “Built-in output” and then select [Use] in “Samson C01U”, then automatically [Clock Source] changes to “Built-in output”. Another detail is that on the right pane My Agregated Samson device can have or not a small microphone icon wich can be selected with ctrl-click, but I leave it WITHOUT the icon. Paul

Hey, I did the midi setup and Logic read the aggregate but when I select it and record there is no sound at all. Can you tell me how to fix this?
Thanks.

Sorry, if this didn’t work, I’m afraid you’re on your own. Good luck!
