Blue Ember Microphone Settings

I decided to purchase a Blue Yeti Pro mic as I was making a music video for a school project and needed a relatively easy to use mic to record decent quality recordings. I decided to go with the Blue Yeti Pro from all the positive reviews given on it so far. It was recommended that I buy the Pro version of this mic over the normal one as there is a difference in sample rates. Basically, this mic is considered better for recording acoustic instruments. The Blue Yeti Pro is VERY easy to use. Plug it in and off you go! For a usb microphone the sensitivity in which it picks up noises is also really good. Every time I take in a breath, the Blue Yeti Pro records me doing it! A little embarrassing, but goes to show the great recording capabilities of this mic. The build quality of this mic is exceptional and is securely packaged in the box. I even had a little bit of trouble better the mic out of the moulded Styrofoam! Having the four recording settings is really handy and Blue makes sure you know which one is which with a well written concise manual talking about the settings. The only possible downside of this microphone is the issue of the low gain settings that many buyers may complain about. However, on the mac it is an easy fix. All you have to do is to click 'go' in the toolbar at the top of the screen, click on 'utilities' and find a application called 'Audio MIDI Setup'. Make sure the mic is connected to the mac before opening it up. Click on 'BLUE USB Audio 2.0' and turn the input and output settings up to the very right so that the values should be at 1. With that adjustment, the microphone should have more gain, so you don't have to turn the gain knob up all the way in a desperate bid for more gain. The Blue Yeti Pro is also a fairly bulky, heavy mic. But since I don't move it around much, for me at least, this is not an issue.

I bought this microphone about a week or so ago with the intent of using it to make YouTube videos, as I had heard many good things about it and had seen several YouTubers using it.Let me tell you: there is a reason.For only about a $ dollars, this microphone packs a LOT of good quality.My favorite part is how Blue desings their microphones to NOT need pop filters, and that can be seen plainly when you use it; with a wide variety of settings, you can find what's just right for you and whatever you're doing.I DID buy my own pop filter eventually, but that was only because I wanted even higher quality than I was already getting, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so Audcaity's Noise Removal option should be anough for most people.I actually expected it to be smaller and less solid-feeling when I opened it, but dear heavens is this not the case; the thing is SOLID, but not heavy, by any means.I honestly have no real complaints; I suppose the knobs for the aforementioned settings and the volume MIGHT Feel a bit cheap to some people, but I personally have no issues.I suppose it's also worth mentioning that, as is the case with many other micriphones I looked at, the Blue Yeti does not come with its own drivers of software. But I like Audacity just fine. I would gladly pay much more money for this piece.

The Blue Yeti it’s a best USB Microphone.

It's a bit small and I could barely fix it on my blue microphone, but enough ...

This would be my first gaming headset, the blue microphone definitely is very different from anything i used before. thanks again B&H. Received the headset in just 4 days.

Excellent for my Blue Yeti microphone! Easy to install.

The Blue Yeti Microphone is an excellent microphone for professional use!Most sites sell this for $150, but I got it for $ on B&H!...

Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

I use the microphone to upload web based content on my websites and have found the Yeti Blue Microphone to perform very well. I recommend it to anyone thinking of purchasing something for doing podcast, audio sound bytes, etc. The price was great as well.

Holds my Microphone wherever I leave it. Definitely an upgrade over the Blue Compass I used before.
