Blue yeti help

[FlawlessKasper]

I want to buy Blue yeti USB, do I need a soundcard for it? or what do I need for it to work properly, people told me you'd need bullshit like AMP

motherboard - Asus sabertooth fx 990 r2.0

It connects via USB, you cannot use it with a soundcard or amp or dac - it is USB only (unless you buy the Pro which uses XLR)

 

All of its audio processing is done internally on its own USB soundcard

 

 

(personally I think there are better mics for voiceover work but its not a bad mic either)

No lol. You don't need any soundcard or a special motherboard. It's connected through USB so it's basically plug-and-play.

Any suggestions on mics for around 100-150$?

rode podcaster (might be over budget)

 

Shure SM57 with XLR to USB (or an audio interface)

Hello! Fortunately I've been doing research for myself and I'd be keen to share, in certain countries the AT2020 and RODE NT USB is in your price range, they're both usb (might need to type in "rode nt usb" in case u get the xlr version)

The blue yeti is very flawed and you can hear your background noise a little too clearly for anyone's needs, unless you can afford to pad your room with foam then I'd suggest the AT2020 or rode nt usb.

You know the AT2020 and the Blue Yeti are almost identical right? So to say one is way better then the other means you must not know what you're talking about.... Just get whichever one is on sale really both are great mics. They use the same microphone type and have around the same specs/features, you would probably want to add a scissor arm while you're at it as well as a pop filter I found them to make a great difference when I'm recording.

[EndlessOyster]

You dont need anything extra or fancy for that microphone ( i think thats the point of that mic) just need a USB port and ram it in.

[NoobCase]

Get the rode NT USB instead if the yeti. It comes with a pop filter and is just that little tad better.

And the blue yeti picks up a lot more background noise then the AT2020, additionally the AT2020 is used by many famous you tubers and gives your voice a more appealing sound, I'd do my research before I try and call out somebody, type up a comparison of the two and you'll see.

The Blue Yeti is used by arguably more "famous" youtubbers, and trying both there both about the same..... I would even prefer the Blue Yeti over the AT2020 because of the Blue Yeti's extra features..

I guess it comes down to opinion, although I would rate the RODE NT USB over both.

the only question I have is, does the Rode NT-USB pickup any unnecessary background noise like the blue yeti does? because my pc hard drive is a bit loud and i'm worried if there would be sound from it.

This is a good primer on mics.

ill answer this for you, the RODE NT USB microphone is a really good mic, don't expect a fanfare to be going on outside and the mic not to pick it up, compare it to other mins and yes; it doesn't pick up much background noise at all, try running the audio through a audio editing program to remove any other unnecessary noises.

Hope this helped.
