I bought one in the middle of last year for being able to do remote VO work, but the gain was always waaaaaay too high no matter how I adjusted the settings on the mic itself. I only did a few things and got by, but I definitely had to do TONS if eq-ing and noise reduction, etc, in post. Today, I needed to use it again and found out how to adjust the inputs inside of the control panel as well as in Audition, and now it sounds phenomenal! I also agree about having a proper stand and pop filter. I use an actual boom stand and gooseneck pop screen, which is aces all over the places.😁

Does it make a difference if you have a pop filter instead of a windscreen?
@GoldenSpiralMedia7 ай бұрын
Not really. I prefer a windscreen because I typically record while looking at notes on my computer and a pop filter blocks my view of the screen.

Thanks for sharing this info. I too prefer the Yeti to the preferred mic (RE320??). The Yeti sounds full of life, warm, exciting. The preferred mic sounds dry, lifeless and frankly boring. I would encourage you to switch to the Yeti for your podcasts because your content is so interesting but I don't think I would listen to it if you used the preferred mic. Not sure why you would discourage your clients from buying a much better sounding microphone.

I just prop mine up to head level with a couple of big books under the stand. I have yet to record anything with it but I did get it working and it was fine to my ear through my monitors ..it has a lot of gain on tap for this sort of microphone .

I am testing my microphone that I want to use for one purpose to collect evidences about my noise terrorist neighbor. I am still doing test how the microphone works. So when the neighbor bangs my ceiling, the microphone is picking up and hurts my ears. So the mic is picking up just like human ear. Now I just have to find a way to time stamp, leaving alone the mic on while I go to work and come back to see how many hours the noise terrorist banged my ceiling, and record his freaking karaoke, his bass music. He uses those microphone used in live shows to do karaoke. I hope my blue mic picks up the neighbor cassino gambling the heavy, fat tiles falling on the floor or dropping in a wooden box, when the shuffle the game(the tiles) every 3 minutes, it's a headache. They start the game before 7:00am and go up to 11:00pm. Many hours with tiles being hit, dragged, dropping on my head. Now how I am going to do the time stamp? Maybe having a clock in front of the camera to show the date and time running. Any ideas guys?I am suffering for several years with noise terrorist. I can't afford to move out.

The yeti is a great mic, I think the primary issue with people buried in the nuance of mics get tunnel vision. Wanting absolute studio quality. The Yeti properly placed with a good vocal chain, GHUB software has good presets, sounds professional enough for content creation.

Excellent video, I appreciate your efforts. I need to understand Plug in Power more. What kind of devices can be plugged in? Is it used as a source of power?
@GoldenSpiralMedia Жыл бұрын
Plug-in power is similar to phantom power. It's a means of supplying voltage to a condenser microphone. Whereas phantom power will typically supply somewhere between 11 and 52 volts to an XLR connected mic, plug-in power supplies 5 volts to a 3.5mm connected mic. This would typically be some sort of lapel mic. Plug-in power has nothing to do with sending power to the H5, but rather the H5 sending power to a microphone specifically designed for it.

my problem is even with gain all the way down and no fan on, after i am done speaking I can hear electrical noise in the background for example when I go to take a breathe. I have had to download live noise suppression software and put another notch filter to try to take away this frequency that is around 4300hz and the notch filter cuts out all the frequency in a parabolic shape. So i had to download equalizer APO 1.2.1 and I had to search for VST plugins called rnnoise reduction. I even tried to get a usb power bank to remove the power from the motherboard with no help and i tried a new usb cord. Maybe it is my computer case or something or just a bad mic out of the batch

I am a professional recording engineer with 51 years of experience. I use the Yeti as my webmic connected to my PC and I think it's excellent. I frequently see podcasters using the mic incorrectly, mostly not knowing that it is a side-address microphone and therefore pointing the top at themselves. I even see people talking into the "back" of the mic which of course sounds terrible. The mic is well built, has a pleasing frequency response, has 4 patterns and is inexpensive. I even like the way it looks.~

If I have to be close to the microphone how it will pick up the noise of the audio terror from upstairs neighbor.
