future microphone set up (need help)

[Coombzy]

Hey guys so I am thinking of getting a blue yeti later on this year and was wondering if I had the RODE PSA-1 and a pop filter would I be able to attach the pop filter to the microphone arm? or would I need to purchase something else for it to work?

Why a blue yeti? Just wondering.

Because its the recommended microphone for youtube etc and is quite cheap when on sale.

I was just checking to make sure you were actually using it for recording... Thank god your not getting it because its "cool" or some other lame excuse for using a mic that voice chat can't even utilize.

Depends on the pop filter - most have a screw-down clamp that'll work with any boom arm you pick

How you mean? Is that the same for the Blue Snowball?

How about this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dynamics-PDS-M16-Microphone-Shield-Recording/dp/B000L99XWG/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1394661929&sr=1-1&keywords=pop+filter

also another question do I need anything special like a mount to attach the microphone to the mic arm? in this video I can't see anything attached so I need to know before purchasing the stuff.

Blue snowballs the one for consumers like me, I need to get one, but y'know, still, Im not a recording needing a Yeti.

Oh no definitely for recording I was going to get a snowball but its not that much more for a yeti looking at the prices.

Many people get shock mounts, but they're not necessary. If you plan on moving the mic around a ton while recording, then maybe you'd want one. The mic just screws in - there's two standard fittings, and the boom arm should come with an adapter if the mic doesn't as well.

I just got a blue tiki for my desktop, and I really like it.  I don't know how much better or worse it is than a yeti, I just know a yeti takes up huuuuge desk real estate.

Get a metal pop filter with a long arm. The panty hose kind=bad.
