I don’t even know how you ended up here :( Wall Charger or Power Bank? Hmm..did you fast forward the video? Watch the video again and LISTEN/follow my instruction. Keep in mind this video was made in 2020, so what might work or might not work then may or may not work whatever year you’re watching this, so take this tutorial with a grain of salt. Also, I keep seeing “but what if i wanna use my headphones. can i still listen?” Don’t you have a Blue Yeti? It has a headphone jack so you can plug it in there. Does XYZ app work? Hmm, I don’t know. Go try it out and let us know! Maybe make a tutorial too! If you have other questions I didn’t cover in my video, leave a comment below and I’ll try my best to answer.

[@Geo_Florentino]

How about the battery life of the phone? Will it drain fast because I'm using the mic and charging the phone at the same time.

[@LloydSim]

@@Geo_Florentino Yes and no. Most 2018 or newer flagship smartphones like iPhone and latest iOS can handle kiosk mode / constantly being charged batteries much better than the older ones. Hence why a lot of store use the most recent iPads for their POS or select retail stores using slightly newer iphones for express check out. Here's a good short read by Apple: support.apple.com/en-us/HT208710

[@m.douglas5406]

Any issues with the power supply over heating the phone while recording? For example, I’m gonna be using the Mophie Powerstation while capturing video. I’ll be recording over a 1.5 hours.

[@LloydSim]

@@m.douglas5406 I haven't personally tried recording longer than 35 minutes, so I've not encountered the power supply overheating the phone. However, I do plug it in to a charger that only outputs 12W or less, so my hunch is slow-charging may be preventing it from overheating the phone. I usually just plug it in to fast chargers (e.g. magsafe or the 18W adapter) when I'm on the go since the more juice you throw at a battery, the faster it charges, but the more heat it generates.

[@nydiabarahona4506]

Whenever I plug in my yeti microphone into my phone and have my headphones plugged into the yeti mic i can’t hear myself. Do you know how to fix to where I could hear myself?

[@ChowDownDetroit]

bro. I've owned the blue yeti for years and I almost bought a new mic made for the iPhone. You just saved ma lot of money.

[@LloydSim]

right on man, glad my tutorial helped :) good luck and tnx for watching!

You are so easy to understand. You don't take anything for granted and started from the beginning and went over EVERY step. I can't tell you how good you are at explaining things. You don't come off too technical but down to earth and showed everything. I like the fact you have made mistakes in the past and we are learning from your errors! Thank you. This is the first how to video I have clicked the like button on ever.

[@kevinmarenco1371]

Very helpful. if I using headset how can I set them up to monitor the sound?

[@AudreyBradford]

I've been having terrible audio when I plug my blue yeti in my MacBook Pro. But it sounds fine when I plug into my iPhone... so frustrating! *update* this worked and I don't have the same issue at all. Thanks!

[@SELFTALK]

Thanks bro

[@dorianjonsmusic]

great. How can I make this same setup with USB Condenser Mic to have background karaoke and add some reverb effects to live signing on Tiktok?

[@prettylilmzgrace]

Question can I just plug in my iPhone charger or do I have to buy the power bank ??

[@LloydSim]

yeah, just any power source. So a USB wall adapter (i.e. iphone charger) OR a power bank as I said in the video.

[@C12H22O11HIGH]

I have been trying to do asmr with my iphone and I was losing hope of getting stereo audio. Thank you!

thank you!!! now I can finally do ASMR lives on tiktok! this was very helpful

[@chinodalocc]

Can I still use a interface with this same set up

[@pokehASMR]

Thank you! I just started my asmr and this was the video that helped me

[@TheS1acker]

Is it defaulting to the blue yeti whenever it is connected or can you see the chosen input method anywhere in the camera app?

Thank you!!!! Your video is very useful for me. I am Japanese, but your English is easy to hearing.

Can you use just the regular iPhone 13 wall charger instead of power bank to charge your phone?

[@deepchandsharma9944]

Bro instead of USB power adapter can I use my iphone charger adapter?

Seriously, all these huge videos and channels could not answer this one simple question! Thank you!

[@mariannenafsu]

I needed this video! Thank you! Never knew you can attach it to the iPhone 😆

[@Foxykids-j6y]

This is so simple. I almost bought so much stuff to connect to a different thing, but you just save me a lot of money.

[@stephone565]

Can you set up a FaceTime interview if the other person has the same equipment

[@GWise]

Thanks mate. I wanted to know whether the external power also charge the iphone and it looks like yes. Useful video!

[@ProfessorProspect]

100% works!!! My only problem is how do I get it to where I can’t hear myself? I don’t wanna be able to hear myself while gaming

[@LloydSim]

Glad it works still. And I don’t think it’s possible to turn off live mic monitoring for phone/ipad just through the mic only since the blue yeti is built with mic monitoring in real time. the only way to have it really off is via software setting (specifically if connected to WindowsOS and MacOS) but that defeats the purpose of connecting to iphone/ipad though 😂

[@outofdinero]

Can you hook up headphones too while doing this? How would you go about doing that?

[@birdydo7516]

Nice video! Appreciate if you could show how to start/ setup a ASMR video. Thanks in advance

[@diegosjournal]

Whats the best way to monitoring audio with that setup in a live on instagram??

[@anthonysadvice]

Thank you so much for this - your subscriber count doesn’t match what you are deserving for - Have a Good Day ❤️

[@glenkenneyvideos7671]

I bought the Blue Yeti, the connectors, and hooked it up as you described. Everything works except that the i-phone itself does not charge while connected. The microphone is powered, but after an hour the phone goes dead. I would have thought the power cord was charging the phone too.

[@6lack_music]

How do you use headohones with it

[@LloydSim]

The blue yeti mic comes with a headphone jack, and you can connect the headphone of your choice to the Blue Yeti Mic’s built-in headphone jack.

[@varshinibm9549]

You're a life saver. I have a doubt. If we need to listen to the feedback then can we connect another otg in the lightning port with headphone jack and lightning port .. for charging and feedback?

[@Elvira_Berzina]

I’m about to order blue yeti , does it come with the wire I need or do I have to buy that separately ?

[@LloydSim]

If you're talking about all the wires I showed, no, not all of it. Only the Mini USB that already comes with the Yeti. Everything else are completely separate. Here's a very nice unboxing video from another youtuber on what to expect when you buy a blue yeti: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fni8mop-fdFkbbc All the other items and links to them can be found in the description or the pinned comments. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@junior10582]

So I can’t use the regular Apple wall charger it comes with phone?

[@paperbag2751]

same question

[@romeois2nice395]

I got it hooked up the way you said but I got no audio coming from the phone so I can’t hear the tik tok video I’m trying to duet with.

[@xokatieASMR]

I did all that was said but for some reason the yeti playback turns off when I open up a recording app like TikTok or iPhone camera.... ever heard of this happening? The mic still works for people listening but I can't hear myself.

[@Auryasmr777]

Can we get an updated version?will this work on my iPhone 13

[@rachelscott8162]

Great video. You’re probably not reading these anymore but I’m trying to find the lightening to camera adapter with a port for the mic and a port for the charger, but instead of lightening connector I need a usb C connecter because it’s a newer iPad. I might be crazy, but I can’t seem to find that. Have you seen one in existence?

[@Itstoastycakez]

HOLY CRAP THANK YOU. all these other videos telling us to get the wrong adapter is crazy! I was really wondering why I couldn't hear any feedback from my mic after doing what they said in these 10 other videos godsend

does the regular iphone charger actually plug in to the charger port in the power bank thing?

Thank you for this! I just got my blue yeti microphone today, but I forgot or didn't acknowledge that you actually had to connect to a computer 😅 so I ordered an usb adapter, but if it wasn’t for you, I would’ve bought the skinny one like you said not to buy. And thank god they didn’t ship it yet and I was still able to switch it out to the correct one and let it arrive on time! So thank youuuu

I wanted to really tell you a huge thank you for this video.

Hi which setting what you would recommend for a podcast with 4-5 people, sitting around a table. Thanks so much.

[@THEAJITCLUB]

Thanks for this video. I have subscribed ! Question please: My recording room is a bit noisy. Does this mic help for - cancellation of unwanted ( background ) Noise ?

[@LloydSim]

Tnx for watching and great question. Unfortunately, this mic will still pick up background noise even when the 'gain' feature is set to the lowest setting and you're using cardiod. My recommendation is to sound proof your surrounding (e.g. using sound proofing acoustic foam or blankets if you're on a budget) Other than that, you will will need to clean up the background noise by editing it using your preferred video/audio editing tool. Usually for me, I just use the noise gate and EQ feature in Vegas Pro (for making my videos) and Garage Band when making music.

[@THEAJITCLUB]

Ah, that would be out of my league as I'm not an ASMR person and I'd butcher it like in the demo I did at 4:38 of this video, so I'm not sure what the best practice is for setting it up. However, this KZbinr did a really good job explaining how to set it up using the Yeti, camera, etc.. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mafEnqykiNaVnbM

[@spicymcjules]

I have the newest iPad Air, I believe it’s the 4th generation, so it uses USB C. I bought a usb c to macro usb cable (so the mic would be directly plugged into the iPad itself instead of an adapter), would that work fine?

[@LloydSim]

It should work fine as is without needing fancy adapters since the newer generations of iPads have huge batteries now
