Blue Yeti Instrument Recording

For its price, the Blue Yeti far surpasses other microphones in its category. This microphone is easy to use and ready to go, simply plug the USB into your computer and start recording! You will be amazed by the quality of this microphone and its ease of use. I absolutely recommend this microphone for those who are looking for fast and easy quality audio recording. This mic is best used for podcasts, youtube videos, and can even be used for budget friendly music recording!

Perfect for podcasting and recording videos. This mic is build much better than the Blue Yeti. Over time, you won't have to worry about the cord connection loosening at the bottom (which will affect your audio quality) like you will the Yeti. Samson was the first to market with the USB mic (from what I've read), and this model will not disappoint if you're looking to stay within the $100 range.

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.

The Blue Yeti USB microphone is perfect for audio recording needs. I principally use it for audio recording of my voice for use in accompanying video instructional procedures for industrial clients. The multiple settings for microphone pick up as well as on-mic gain adjustment and headphone connection is an ideal setup for me. The Yeti microphone comes with a heavy base and USB cord and was very easy to set up in windows 10. The audio software I use is Audacity.

Extremely satisfied with the Blue Yeti microphone. Use it for podcast recording, great sound and picks up what I want it to. Have purchased 2 more.

I use my Blue Yeti mic for podcasting and for voiceovers of online tutorials. So far, I have been very impressed with the Yeti's capabilities. I'm an audiophile so I'm pretty critical when it comes to recording, especially the human voice. For me, the Yeti shines when used in Cardioid mode. The vocal timbres are just right and require little post-processing, if any, as long as you have a decent recording environment. What's amazing is that you can literally plug the Yeti into any open USP port and start recording straight away. No downloads, no drivers, no setup. Using the open source Audacity program, recording is literally a matter of doing a few mouse clicks. This is a heavy mic which has its pros and cons. If you're recording on a desktop, you'll appreciate the solidity of the construction. It's a very sensitive mic and you need a solid base to dampen any vibrations. At 3 lb, it's not the most portable mic though. Overall, this mic gives excellent value for your money.

The Blue Yeti is reviewed everywhere and is as good as the hype. This package works well for Zoom, music recording, and podcasts, though I do not do those. It could not be easier to use as there is no set up and no need for a digital interface. I run a lot of Zoom type meetings and this makes a real difference in presentation compared to the computer audio--the hollow sound is gone. The headphone jack in the mic is a great feature as well.

The Blue Yeti it’s a best USB Microphone.

Excellent for my Blue Yeti microphone! Easy to install.

Integrates well with Blue Boom & Blue Yeti. Well constructed, unobtrusive.
