Need some microphone advice

[atle]

I own a Samson meteor mic and a blue yeti both of then having good reviews but I'm disappointed by then.

Unedited the blue yeti sounds just terrible with a ton of static noise and de Samson meteor mic picking up my keyboard sounds.

For now I'm using the blue yeti in adobe audition to get rid of the noise but I'm hoping to get rid of the noise without software.

 

Sound sample of the blue yeti without adobe audtion:

I already tried using a powerd usb hub but it didn't work.

 

 

If anyone has an idea to get rid of the noise of the blue yeti plz tell me.

and if not possible then I would like to search for a xlr mic and a mixer sub $250.

 

I'm using these microphones to livestream on twitch.

Microphones pick up noise - you can't stop them from picking up noise.

 

You can try to limit the effects of the noise by putting the microphone on a boom arm, getting it closer to your mouth, and turning down the gain as low as possible, but this will not completely get rid of the noise.

I already use a boom arm, the mic is very close and the gain is on the lowest setting.

And it is still making 5 times more noise then in linus his review.

Sounds like a defective product - have you tried contacting Blue's support about this?

Your edited samples sound fine to me. The un-edited samples do have an audible static/whine to them but that might just be background noise. Maybe you expectations are too high?

Not yet, I bought it from amazon 6 juli 2014.

I live in belgium so I fear sending tot there and back will cost me then buying a new one.

But i can try and hear what they say

[atle]

yes my expectations are high

I must admit that you can hear some fan noise in the background (the fans are noctua fans @ 800 rpm)

the xfx 7970 also makes some noise. Can't wait to go full watercooled when I upgrade my rig in the end of this year.

the fan noise is driving me crazy every day. I want to upgrade my rig but I really have to stop myself it is still to soon.

 

But does the mic sound defective or not?

It feels like it is degrading my audio even when using adobe audition, it can be just me but want better.

I thinking about buying an AT2050 xlr version.

Does anyone know a good mixer for it with no noise. I'm a beginner when it comes to xlr mics.

Never used one before so any advice can help.

Budget $150 - $250.

Instead of a condenser mic you could try what I assume is a dynamic microphone: http://www.modmic.com/

Behringer makes good cheap stuff.
