Using Blue Microphone With Garageband

Using this for a Blue Baby Bottle microphone. Really good size for it (with the shock filter attached, for easy set up and break down) Quality product, American made!

This is the fourth Blue Yeti microphone I have purchased. Using it for an amateur podcast. Great sound quality, nice adjustability, perfect for the podcast.

The Blue Yeti it’s a best USB Microphone.

The sound quality is very good. It's much more natural and clean compared to many other mics. Using it on a Mac with GarageBand. Just plug in and go. Couldn't be more simple.

Using it to hook up my Korg PA-300 keyboard with GarageBand on my MacBook Pro (16-inch 2021 w. M1 Pro). Coming 1/4-inch out of Korg to the PreSonus, and USB-C from the PreSonus into the laptop. Works flawlessly. Front gain controls come in handy to get adequate levels into GarageBand. Came with a USB-A to C cable. Would have been nice it if came with a USB-C to C cable.

Off and on for a decade, I thought about making a Podcast. So when I saw this microphone at a good price, I decided to give it a shot. I record of an iPhone 6s Plus in GarageBand, then use iCloud to move the files to the Mac, where I use GarageBand to do final production. The Polsen microphone gets the job done. If I really do get into Podcasting, I will get a second microphone that is USB. For just playing around to learn about Podcasting, this is perfect. Would also be great for any audio voice recording - say interviews for print journalism or to record living history type memories.

Setup was very easy for this microphone. It is a simple plug & play use. I tested it with garageband on a mac computer and audacity on a windows computer. Both worked seamlessly. The audio recording quality was better than I expected for paying this price on a microphone. Vocal recording is very nice (singing/podcast type applications). Acoustic guitar recording sounded great. Acoustic guitar was about 8 feet away from the mic when testing it out. I imagine fine tuning my recording process will only make it sound better. I used the mic to record a band practice session. I just placed the mic in the center of the room and played around it. The mic worked surprisingly well to pick up the instruments (recorded in garageband). Obviously this technique is not going to sound amazing but it is better than I have recorded other times with a TASCAM device or other microphone into a computer. The overload led light is nice to visually show you when the microphone input volume is set too high. I have been typically running at 20-30% when testing up-close vocals. So it shows there is an input range to work with. The microphone base stand is a nice simplistic setup. It does limit the positioning of the microphone on there but I believe this is what is intended. The stand will not allow for a horizontal positioning of the mic. Since I do not need the feature and do not think the stand was intended to do that, I did not take away from the rating. I recommend this microphone for anyone looking to have a usb microphone as a step above the bottom line microphones but do not want to spend money in the $100-$150 range. I imagine it would compete with those in terms of audio quality. If you wanted anything better than this, I would say to think about spending over $150.

I use this microphone for audio podcasts and have found the quality to be excellent. I directly record into GarageBand on my MAC. The connection to the computer was as simple as plugging in any USB device and was up and running in seconds. The quality for this price made this an excellent purchase. I bought a pop filter and stand to go with it to make a great combo.

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.
