Yeti Microphone Settings Mute

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 it’s a best USB Microphone.

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!...

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.

I am loving this microphone. First, it is simple to use. I plugged it into my Apple laptop and also my PC desktop and it showed up right away on both. No issues. I'm impressed with the sound quality this little guy produces. It sounds really good and strong. Much better than the built-in mic of my laptop or the mic that is part of my webcam on my pc. And because it is omnidirectional, the sound stays consistent when I turn my head or move around. I also like that I can pull it closer very easily if I ever want to, and then just tuck it away if not in use. The buttons to mute the mic and/or audio output make using this very convenient and easy. It is so much easier to just hit the mute button on this to cut off my mic, as opposed to trying to mute the mic with the video conference software. I love having that option. And the bright lights make it very easy to identify quickly if your are muted or not. I also love that it has a headphone jack. This is so convenient and helpful for a variety of situations. Having a headphone port is obviously helpful for video calls, but also great for everyday use. Since I have my desktop placed on the floor under my desk, I no longer have to reach under the desk to plug in my headphones. This puts the headphone jack right on my desk which is very helpful and convenient. The volume control dial is another nice feature. Power for this mic comes from the computer's USB port, so there is no need for replacing batteries or recharging. I'm very happy with this microphone, it is working great in my set-up and made things so much easier and gave me much better audio quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stream microphone was very easy and quick to set up. I used it with my PS5 and connected flawlessly. The RGB lights are an extra touch. Perfect for streamers and pod cast creator. The mute button is handy for a fast emergency mute.

I use the Yeti to record multi-track a cappella music. I find myself mostly using the cardioid setting since I am the only one singing, however the other three settings are of equal quality and I foresee myself using these settings to record small group performances. I am amazed by the ease with which I learned how to use the Yeti. I took it out of the box, plugged it in and within 5 minutes I was recording. The sound quality is also incredible for a mic this inexpensive. As with any mic it could be improved by putting it on a shock mount and using a pop filter but even without these two items there is very little unwanted noise. I was a little surprised by how large it was, but that is hardly a complaint. I highly recommend this product to other potential buyers.

I bought 2 yeti's to start a podcast and I couldn't be happier with the sound quality. Love the 4 settings for different sound capturing.
