so wait you have a mic and yet you want another mic? hate to burst your bubble on this one MX blues are very noisy switches, you need to get rings if you want to lessen the clicky noise, but at that rate why get blues then... anyways, if you got a mic, just stick to the one you have.

Siren isnt amazing, but its still a decent mic. 

 

Like above said, get some rings for your keyboard. Other than that, maybe turn down sensitivity on your mic.

If you really want to avoid this, get a modmic or buy an xlr usb mixer and get a vocal dynamic microphone because dynamic microphones are less sensitive than condensers and are better for speaking directly into.

Or you could get a bluebird or the equivalent that pewdiepie used.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

That's a good mic. Fewer options than the Yeti Pro, but the Bluebird's point is less versatility and more professional quality.

I can't imagine they use the same capsules, but I'm almost certain the Siren's (I'm spelling it the non-pretentious way) shock mount came from the same damn factory.
