On the frequency spectrum of audio, you can also notice its spikes, which are noticeably higher than the rest of the sound waves.Įxpert Tip: The pop filter helps in stopping this burst of air so that their frequencies will not be a distraction in the overall audio quality. Just listen to an audio while closing your eyes, and you’ll notice that the pronunciation of these three consonants has a higher volume. Some Blue Yeti Microphone bundles come with a pop filter included, but you can always find some on Amazon specifically designed for Blue Yeti mics. These sounds are called plosives, and a pop filter can help eliminate, or at least limit, them. The consonants P, B, and T usually produce the worst “popping” sounds. When you speak too closely to a microphone, it captures every word you say including consonants that might be too much for the mic to bear. Use a Pop Filter A Blue Yeti microphone with a pop filter. This is ideal for one-on-one sessions like interviews. Only the front and rear parts of the microphones can capture sound. This mode allows the microphone to capture two speakers at the same. This pattern is perfect for recording a group of individuals like choir, conference calls, or group podcasts. This pattern lets the microphone capture sounds surrounding it and not just one side of it. If you’re doing monologues, podcasts, Twitch streaming, vocal recording, and instruments, then this pattern works best for those situations. This heart-shaped pattern lets you record the microphone strongly at the front and weakly at the sides. This pattern works excellently for recording acoustic guitars, choir, and ASMR videos. In this pattern, both left and right channels are active, making the sound wider and more realistic. Each of these patterns has its strengths, depending on how they are used. You can set the Blue Yeti according to four pick patterns: stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional. At the front of the microphone, you can also adjust the volume of the headphones. The Blue Yeti has a 3.5 mm headphone jack that lets you monitor your recording in real-time, with no latency delays. In short, gain allows you to control the sound before processing it to refine the tone of your sound.Įxpert Tip: If you encounter distortion or feedback when recording from a loud source, just lower the mic’s sensitivity through its gain control. However, the two are completely different ideas: Volume is the output level, while the gain setting is the input level.
People often get confused with gain and volume because they are used interchangeably by people. Blue Yeti mics have a “proximity effect,” emphasizing low-end frequencies like the pronounced bass in broadcasters’ voices, so maintaining the right distance is key. We recommend 6-12 inches in order to not have any undesirable sounds such as popping or hissing. DistanceĮnsure you have the proper distance between you and the Blue Yeti microphone.
Since the Blue Yeti is a side-address mic, it must be in an upright position and the speaker perpendicular to it, so you can speak or sing to its sides. Once you have fixed the microphone’s position, tighten the set screws on the base. The Blue logo and headphone volume must be facing you for easy access. Place the microphone on a sturdy table or desk to keep it secure. This means you have to configure it properly to pick up an acceptable amount of noise. As a condenser microphone, the Blue Yeti has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, which is sensitive enough to pick up even the faintest sound in the surroundings.
