Yeti USB Microphone

I use the Yeti and it's been quite good. A few things- whatever mic you get, make sure you enable noise cancellation in OBS or other software. Also, if you get a Yeti or another mic with a bit of a cheap stand, a boom arm is a fairly inexpensive upgrade that makes usage so much better.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the blue yeti is a *crappy* mic - it's a solid (if overpriced) entry level mic. Just messing around with noise gate filter and gain in OBS yielded pretty good results

buy a blue yeti fr

its a pretty iconic and fairly inexpensive microphone

Headset mics are usually pretty trash for anything beyond gaming chat tbh. Even a basic USB mic like an Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB or Blue Yeti will blow any headset out of the water for recording quality If you're dead set on wearing something, maybe look into a lavalier mic, but honestly just get a boom arm and proper mic - your audio quality complaints will disappear overnight

Hey all, need some advice. I cut my demo on my Blue yeti USB mic. I know everyone says you shouldn't use USB mics, so i went out and bought an Audio Technica AT2020 XLR microphone and a Focusrite Solo audio interface to see the difference? Tested it out, and... the audio clips sound exactly the same to me...? Seriously, I dont hear a difference at all. I even hear a background hum in the XLR mic. (I soundproofed my studio the exact same way the last time.) Am I doing something wrong? Edit: Hey so in hindsight, maybe I should've been more clear. I never asked whether the Blue Yeti was better than the XLR. I KNOW an XLR mic is better, which is why I bought one. I was just confused because I got the right kind of equipment but wasn't seeing a difference. Thank you u/[Spriinkletoe](https://www.reddit.com/user/Spriinkletoe/) for the clarity!
