Hey folks! I just thought I'd give you a follow up on the recording mic I purchased months back...I said I was going to give a review on it, and so I am!
As you can tell Blue's Yeti Pro mic is very professional in appearance...and to no surprise- professional on the inside as well! Needless to say this was the very first USB Recording Mic I've purchased, but I'm hoping it will be my last!
When I first came across the Yeti Pro, I was torn in the decision between buying the 'Pro' or just the standard 'Yeti'. Why? Price...But everywhere I looked people were saying they'd bought the 'Yeti Pro' and recommended it. So, I went with the Pro. It took me awhile to actually try it out, but last week I put it to use! I had a friend come by that has some experience in audio recording/editing (more than I have) and together we discovered the power of this beautiful mic. I'm yet to try out all the settings and mess around with editing, but 4 hours were graciously donated to the understanding and experimenting of this mic.
First off, I will start by saying that when my friend and I first tested it out for recording we tried instrument and voice separately. Both the instrumental audio and the voice audio sounded a bit high at first, and I'm not exactly sure why. But after playing around with Audacity for a bit, the problem was worked out, and the true heart of the Yeti pro shown through. It was clear, accurate audio recording. Next, we tried recording both instrument and vocals at the same time. At first I wasn't sure how well that would work out, but with some testing I soon discovered that the Yeti Pro was well equipped to do that too! Over all the Yeti Pro proved it's self all that I hoped it would be!
I bought it with the purpose in mind to record the songs that I've composed/written. I also wanted a mic that I could plug in and record easily without much hassle...something I could use to record both instrument and vocal simultaneously, and it still end up not sounding like I recorded it with a hand held recording device. Jack pot! this mic was the answer to my prayers.
Now, I'm yet to try it out on a podcast, but from what I can tell and have read in other reviews, the Yeti Pro is great for voice overs and interviews...
What I like best about this mic is it's simplicity and it's ability to accommodate on the go, or un-planned recording. I like tech tools that you can whip out and use as soon as the inspiration hits, and this mic is a mini recording studio in it's self. So, my dreams of making my frist album might be coming true sooner than I thought! I'm going to try and upload a sample of the sound of this mic soon, until then, I hope you liked this little introduction to my newest piece of equipment!
Cheers!
