Get used to headphones to control how you sound. Audio feedback is something to be expected. CHeck flr updated drivers for your mike.Ģ. Right-click on Volume icon, "Playback devices", make sure it's yor speakers who are defaults. There's a chance the USB part of the mike also has "audio out". i still say its probably what i listed earlier so there is no real need to do so other than clarification.ġ. Since you're a recorder, you may have wanted to add a few youtube files showing before and after where we can hear the issues firsthand. if you still get issues you could use a noise isolating box (box lined with sound foam with mic inside) to try and eliminate room echo. if its from room reverb put the mic in the correct recording location and try again. if its from #2 fix that issue and it should go away (use headphones!). its likely either recording from #2 or you're getting more sound bouncing off walls resulting in echo. likely this is due to you needing to speak louder with the mic further away to reduce your issue #2. you might need to run a noise gate or low pass filter in some cases if you can not eliminate it in by other means.Ĥ. also, some microphones are more sensitive than others (which can be good for detail and back for ambient pickup). the higher the gain the more you will pick up like fans and such. the further away the higher you need to crank volume and gain. the mic should be on an arm by your mouth say 3-6 inches away and slightly to the side. it could be your gain settings due to you being far from the mic. you want cardioid as this picks up mostly from the front.ģ. keep in mind the microphone has 3 pickup patterns: cardioid, bi-directional and omnidirectional. get used to headphones or do not use speakers when recording. this is why people use headphones for live monitoring. having speakers and a microphone in front of them will result in feedback and feedback loops. if you're live monitoring your voice it would be better to have headphones connected up to the yeti though for live non-delay monitoring.Ģ. check that you have your pc speakers set as the default audio device still. as alabalcho said, the yeti has a headphone out jack. These are things a recording professional really should know:ġ. ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thank you very much! : )) I've used Sound Forge for years and find it very effective. I don't want to switch to Audacity (and LAME to export sound files in MP3 format) unless that's the ONLY fix. The CPU's only dedicated mic port is a single prong, round jack hole on the rear of the CPU, but I can't use it since the Yeti has a micro USB plug, so I can only plug into an open USB port on the CPU's front face. I do not use headphones (and don't particularly want to). Using Sound Forge's Noise Gate and Normalize plug- ins didn't help.įYI: I use a relatively new Dell Inspiron 3252 desktop computer. (4) There is also an echo with slight reverb on my recordings, as though I had engaged the "Deep Hall" FX setting, which I did not. (3) There is an unacceptable amount of ambient noise (noticeable hiss and slight hum from computer fan and motor vibrations) on my recordings, despite using the S3 Spider shock mount with a felt pad between the washers and mic platform where the mic screws into the shock mount. I can only record with the computer speaker volume setting turned to MUTE, and by holding the mic about 2 feet away from the computer/speakers to stop the feedback. If I use the MUTE button on the mic, the feedback stops, but the mic won't record when muted. (2) With the Yeti mic plugged into the USB port, I cannot record without moving far away from the computer (and speakers) to avoid HORRIBLE FEEDBACK. (I use Cyber Acoustics CA-3072 8 Watt mini-speakers with subwoofer.) (1) My speakers won't play ANY audio unless I disconnect the Yeti USB mic. Please, if anyone can help, I'd be very grateful! I've already tested all of the mic settings and mic positioning: Cardioid is best, but far from acceptable I played around with the Gain setting I've adjusted the volume setting I've played around with mic position. I ran several Windows 10 troubleshooters on the Device Manager and Sound Controller. I followed all installation directions and settings. My Snowball mic finally died, and today I replaced it with a new Blue Yeti USB mic. I have never needed a pre-amp, and have consistently produced good, audition quality MP3's. BLUE YETI PROBLEMS - DAMSEL IN DISTRESS!! I'm a Voiceover pro, have no expertise in sound engineering or computer technology, but can follow directions and have fixed a number of issues by reading and implementing solutions suggested on YouTube, forums, and Windows 10 troubleshooting videos.įor years I've recorded VO auditions at home using Sony's Sound Forge recording/editing software and a Blue Snowball USB mic, with no problems.
