Blue Yeti Snowball Microphone Settings

The Blue Yeti it’s a best USB Microphone.

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.

Excellent for my Blue Yeti microphone! Easy to install.

I use the Blue Yeti Snowball as an everyday mic for VoIP programs. The instant I started using it I received plenty of positive feedback!The mic is very clear and does a nice job of picking up just my voice over the loud background noise around me (air conditioner and loud cat!).The only thing not so great about it is how bulky it is, but I was well aware of that aspect when purchasing.

This is one the best microphone if you are in a budget. I have the Yeti microphone wich is a litle bit more expensive and now I purchased the Snowball and the quality is almost like the Yeti. You have three option to use the microphone. That I like a lot. I would recommend it. Thanks

I realise this is not what it was designed to do...but I use this screw to mount my Blue Snowball microphone to my GlideGear TMP-50 Teleprompter. The arm that holds the smartphone clips on the teleprompter already has a small threaded portion at the tip, so adding this screw was easy. The shaft is the exact length I needed to go through the arm. It screws perfectly into an Auray adapter. Now my microphone is mounted right in front of me (and out of the shot) and I'm getting much better audio!

well It works very well to support my blue snowball microphone. not so many things bad about it all good things its sturdy best weight and even works for some small video recorder's... its an all out great mic stand...

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!...

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.

I've owned the Blue Yeti Microphone for years. The Pro Version is even better.
