Blue Yeti Microphone | Stop Making These 5 Mistakes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJmxepptoLmhp9U

[@mattdonahue6025]

Does this same process work for a Mackie 420 Vlz3? or is it not possible to hook up a USB microphone to that old of a mixer?

[@AjarnSpencer]

Blue Yeti; usb carries more info, but please provide a 3.5 mm and a 1/4 adaptor with your stupid usb. I cannot plug it into half of my hardware i.e. Maonocaster.

[@darceykesnerhawkins9843]

thank you for posting the links for the products you’re using and for all the info!

[@simonandthelyricalpoets]

Just the video I was looking for - a great share, liked and subscribed 🎸

[@heavenlyguitar5913]

Excellent! I’m so glad I found your site.

[@VerdantNest]

BRUH! You just saved my life! I was about to plug my 3.5 to 6.3 cable into the not pre-amped input (Behringer UMC22 here)!

[@VakpathiRaoManupadi]

Nice Demo! Had not thought we can use USB Mic having an Audio Interface having a 3.5 mm jack output to use it as input to the Mixer. Great Idea. I have a Samson G-Track USB microphone with an Audio Interface, will try it. Keep up the good work!

[@mindblower113]

Did you try my friend?

[@cprogramming1]

Amazing explanation ...

[@JohnThomasii]

Thanks for this. I agree with 2 of your videos, a mixer isn't necessary. Thank youi!!

[@SkepticalPickleASMR]

Awesome video! Is the blue yeti safe to use this way with phantom power turned on?

Again... great advise. Hadn't thought about the headphone jack from the Yeti. I have one and will try this. Thanks!

[@kettnercreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ThomasLWoo]

I can not get my blue yeti connected to the profx 6v3 I have a trs to 1/4 and tried line 3 and 4 and still can not hear anything out of my dt770 pro

[@MoeMeta]

Another great video

[@kettnercreative]

Thanks again!

[@TheArabImmigrants]

This is agreat informative video, keepup the good work. Thanks.

[@yurijmikhassiak7342]

Thanks. Can you turn off the monitoring on the mics output and use it only as a soundcard?.

[@blackdiamond23]

Hi, excellent video but i do have a question, don't you have to turn the phanton power on?

[@Spinners_TV]

Hey this is great info but can I get power from a charger instead of a computer ?

[@ashleyhendrick7143]

When you connect the mixer to the computer, what connecting device do you use? And do you need any other special software on your computer, other than Audition, for the mixer?

[@Obbss]

Is there a point to using voicemeter or any noise suppression on obs when connected to a mixer/interface ?

[@sasha42196]

Is it possible to use a mixer / interface to link a USB mic with a vocal processor that only accepts XLR input?

[@Scarpia9111]

I'm sorry I keep asking questions about this product. If I'm using the Yamaha MG10XU for streaming with OBS do I turn off my Blue Yeti Mic in OBS and then use the MG10XU as my audio Output? Also, when I test the audio FX in OBS while recording I don't hear anoy FX while I'm speaking. I also can't hear any difference from after playing the audio test andI'm not hearing any FX or EQ changes. What am I doing wrong?

[@mr.hibster9603]

Bro I wanted to know how to output the sound from the mixer to the laptop. Which software did u use etc

[@alibat6684]

Is it possible to connect a USB microphone،to the mixer with an aux cable and a one 6.5 converter?

[@raulingt]

the volume using headphones directly from the Blue Yeti it is lower than another source that i have with a connection of 3.5 Jack or directly from the laptop. Do you know if there is a way to increase the output volume from Blue Yeti? I will give you an example. I use to record vocals and using an mp3 track in Audacity, the issue is with the track and not the voice, the volume of the track it is lower than the voice and i want to have an balanced sound over my headphones. Thanks in advance

[@adam_frets6472]

Would you be able to use a xlr to 3.5 mm jack cable

[@aumlakkad4016]

Hello sir, can i connect akg lyra with yamaha MG06X audio mixer?

[@57RickH]

I was able to connect mine to my Behringer mixer as you described but there is a distinct drop in audio quality in comparison to the recordings made to my device directly from the mic, so I wouldn't recommend using the Yeti with a mixer. I'm recording to an iPad using a Behringer interface. If there's a way to use a mixer with the Yeti with no audio degradation, I'd be interested in knowing how 🤔

[@MisterALX]

Hey, good video, I have this mic, I also have issues because I am streaming, I am using StreamLabs OBS and it doesn`t have good filters. I am looking for an external mixer to adjust my voice.

[@starlitsalemi]

i know this is an older video but I do asmr on twitch, and I'm looking to get a mixer to use with my blue yeti x (and potentially get a 3dio mic eventually as well). the mackie has been highly recommended, but I'm not sure how many channels I should get for the two mics, and potentially 2 more down the road (also been looking at a pair of rhode nt5 mics). any recommendations for # of channels, as well as settings on the mackie for higher sensitivity without warping the sound too much?

[@Travelingwithme7788]

So if we wanted all people to wear headphones and listen to eachtother thru them… are there headphone ports on the yamaha? How would that work? Please reply

[@justinmoore3669]

Could you plug the yeti into a 3.5mm microphone port on a creative x7

[@Indo.Barefaced]

catcha! i wanna using stereo patern on Yeti (ASMR😁) i prefer using 1 cable (stereo) on Line mic (mixer) its working? if it can, its TRRS cable? or must in XLR plug? Tysm🙏hv a great day

[@vshipz]

I need help I'm trying to figure out if can connect my blue yeti to a behringer xenyx 302usb and connect that to a ps5 but I don't know what I need plz someone help?!?!

[@andresfelipeortizariza8741]

Hi, I have a problem when trying to connect mi Blue yeti nano to my mixer MG10XU. I connect the mic in the Line 1 with a ugreen cable (the same u have but insted of two 1/4jack it has only one). The poblem is that it doesnt sound unless I leave the 3.5mm jack into the mic a bit loose, cuz if i connect it as deep as i can into the mic it doesnt sound. Any ideas whats probably happening?

[@mattvranes3717]

Look for a TRS to TRSS adapter. Had the same issue and this fixed it for me. (3-pole to 4-pole, or the other way, which ever you are trying to do).

[@locomotionchannel]

Stupid question (Not an audio guy, but using a mixer to enhance my Jeti quality) --- What's the difference from pluggin it using Stereo or mono?

[@corbinlongley3512]

Hi Jordan. I have a Cyber Acoustics CVL-2009 USB microphone. I watched this video to get an idea of how to connect any USB mic in general. I noticed that you use an adapter cable with a 3.5mm end and a 1/4 inch end. Would a USB mic work with a mixer if I use an adapter cable with XLR and 3.5mm ends?

[@ishrashad]

Corbin, I'm assuming you are asking because your mic has a 3.5 headphone output like the Yeti. That right? I'd advise against it because your console/mixer/interface with the XLR input will almost certainly have phantom power capability. And if you accidentally turn it on (or leave it on) when you plug in the mic, you run the risk of damaging the output circuitry in the mic (or whatever device you are connecting. Good way of bricking a phone!) I'd stick with Jordan's suggestion of 3.5 to dual 1/4" (6.5mm). Much safer, circuitry-wise. Still may need a preamp, but that's just audio levels.

[@RGoots]

This is exactly how I planned to use my blue yeti with a mixer. I still can't fully decide between the Yamaha and the Mackie. The blend and mute are great features of the mackie but the effects are on the yamaha are incomparably better (especially with the parameter adjustment knob). I do live streaming so the effects would be great, but not 100% necessary - just cool to have. Heard the phones jack on the Yamaha has a lot of static and heard more people have issues with noise on the Yamaha. I am stuck in a never-ending loop trying to make this decision haha!

[@kettnercreative]

The big thing is just to make a decision and move forward. The thing I hate the most is big surprises, it sounds like you've done your research and shouldn't experience any surprises. In real world use, both mixers are super great and you really can't go wrong./

[@oohyeahluis]

@RGoots mackie just came out with multitrack mixer take a look at it

[@kettnercreative]

@@oohyeahluis Looks pretty good. I was sad to see the blend knob gone though :(

[@RGoots]

I'll definitely check it out! No blend knob, that's like ripping away the identity of the board.......

[@RGoots]

@@oohyeahluis do you know what the name of it is?

[@dustingilliam5881]

I've been attempting to connect my Blue Yeti with my Peavey RQ-2310 but when I plug the mic into the mixer I have to max the gain on both the microphone and the mixer in order to get the levels to a reasonable level. Naturally, this introduces excessive background noise and sounds horrible. The yeti, when just plugged in by itself, has 0 issues and is at a normal volume with no background noise. Any idea what is happening?

[@RichterVonDoom]

Sounds like you need a bigger pre amp, Cloudlifter on amazon worked wonders for me, check it out

[@ArielNavarreteSpahn]

Same thing is happening with a Pevey PV 6BT - I have to max the gain on both the mixer and microphone to be able to hear anything, and it sounds with a lot of noise. Did you have any solutions for this?

[@Scarpia9111]

Can you connect the Blue Yeti to the Yamaha AG06 6 channel mixer?

[@kettnercreative]

For sure, use the same technique.

[@floaterzworld4061]

can someone just answer if i can plug my blue yet usb into one of these usb mixers and get live recording effects in a studio, not like a dj/concert

[@kettnercreative]

If you follow the steps in this video, you can add reverb etc. from the mixer - Yes.

[@kaelmusic1057]

Does this work to Audio tech 2500x usb aswell?

[@myuw91]

I couldn't get it to work for mine. Interested to know if anyone managed to make it work.

[@Jrlondon14]

Im still struggling..... Does the mic cable HAVE TO be plugged in to the computer? Also, I am trying to hook up another mic and a Maono sound board..... PLEASE HELP..... ANYONE>>...

[@ishrashad]

Ha ha, you sound desperate, Jason, like I often feel... Have you worked it out yet? If not: What is the other mic and is that the Maonocaster AM200? If so, it has two 3.5mm inputs for mic1 & mic2. If you are using the AM200 and got the kit, your other mic is the maono mic, right? OK, that will plug into the AM200... say mic1 - but your USB mic has no place to go, so it will have to go into your PC. At this point, I think you're going to start having latency issues between the two mics... so, you can test it of course and there are ways of getting it to work - with a DAW (like Cakewalk?). BUT.. we're now getting more complex that your requirement sounds, so maybe you just need another Maono (or similar) mic that plugs into the 3.5mm mic2 jack. (The Yeti headphone out MAY work but I'd wager that you will have balancing problems between mics). This ain't exactly high-quality audio, but that's not a show-stopper for a budget podcast. Of course, I've assumed you have the AM200. If you put more detail into your question, you'll get clearer answers, methinks...

[@kirillprilepko394]

Is it possible to connect Blue Snowball to that Yamaha mixer?

[@kettnercreative]

Yeah, you can use the same technique for any USB mic

Directly from the mic.

@@kettnercreative so I have tried this with my Blue Yeti. I have a Behringer Xenyx 1204 USB mixer. I have a 3.5mm plugged into my mic headphone jack and the left of the dual 1/4 cables into the line in for input 1. My computer is set to not have the mic as input and it is not registering at all on the mixer….thoughts?

How to connect USB mic to Yamaha mixer?

[@kettnercreative]

That's what we show you in this video.

[@Ivandre423]

Anyone figured out how to connect a usb mic to mixer if the mic dont have a audio jack? Halla at ya boi

[@AjarnSpencer]

I think it is time for mixers to take usb inputs for microphones instead of the same old 3.5 or 1/4 jackplugs. Because most good Microphones are now USB. Yamaha are 10 years behind the times, like sony. But if we stick to old skool methods and use our own skills instead of fancy samples, then we don't need all this mixer hardware anymore, as with software, live performance becomes more easy to manage too

[@Big_Red_Dork]

No, most good microphones are XLR. It's only recently that some USB mics are barely scraping the quality levels of the mid-lower range xlr studio microphones.

[@hmls6531]

Did you get this idea from TheLucios Life? haha

[@AjarnSpencer]

There are much simpler solutions to get equal results, cheaper too

[@yousuckacid]

you’re a mix, of Jackson Avery and Kevin Wendell

[@kettnercreative]

I normally get "Tobey Mcguire" and "Wentworth Miller". Pretty funny reading these.

[@DJRobbie54]

To the director making this video my question to you is why would you put the logo over the top of the Yamaha while he's demonstrating it that makes no sense you got on the right hand side and he's got it on his jacket that's dumb. It was also very annoying he's demonstrating the Yamaha and you got his fingers covered up. And I also notice you have it in the lower right-hand corner that's Overkill man. Now I know this is an old video back in 2021 I hope you're doing much better in 2022 if not that's dumb.

[@sethhardenn]

I stopped watching this at "first connect it to your computer"

[@kettnercreative]

Well, you still need to power the mic. There’s no other workaround.
