    Sorry noob question here. Are any of these suitable for singing or just game streaming stuff?

    • [Deactivated] on 09/11/2020 - 13:08
      +1

      I will suggest if a microphone is marketed towards gaming, it's probably not exactly suitable for singing

      I just mean there's better suited microphones for singing with good reputations for that

    • Bargain Slut on 09/11/2020 - 13:16

      you probably want a Rode NT1 or similar over this I would suggest.

      • Alteracio on 09/11/2020 - 13:27

        Oooh thanks :) Wow googled and it's so expensive :P

          +3

          Maybe an AT2020USB+ is suitable for you. There's also a Rode NTUSB mic

          Most mics will require you to have a separate audio interface (like a box to plug a microphone or instrument in) which is another expense like $200, but there are a few good USB options

          • stumbows on 09/11/2020 - 16:19
            +1

            @brnaodn: I have the AT2020 USB and it's really decent for the money.

          • Alteracio on 09/11/2020 - 16:19

            @brnaodn: Gee really big thanks for the recommendations! I've been trying to look for one which I can use for singing as a hobby but no idea which one to pick. So, RODE NT1 would need an audio interface while the USB ones does not, I presume?

            • brnaodn on 09/11/2020 - 17:48
              +1

              @Alteracio: Yeah a normal microphone like the NT1 uses an XLR cable to connect to audio equipment, but if you're not trying to get into all that stuff a mic with a USB connection is way easier and can have equal quality if you get a good one

              I am pretty sure you could go for the big mic from this deal, but check the reviews and compare the price to some others

              • Alteracio on 09/11/2020 - 23:31

      actually watch this video https://youtu.be/Aw82ctVsQjs?t=217

      yes this mic is more for podcast & gaming, but the stereo capture availability and the cardiod polar pattern is suitable for singing too. While it might not be the best for signing / music, it does well for an all rounder style. If you're going all in on music/signing, I suggest considering getting an audio interface like scarlett or a USB behringer mixer - but nevertheless at $149, this is an all rounder package for sure.

    • s1Lence on 09/11/2020 - 14:58

      Look up the Behringer XM8500 on Youtube, sounds pretty good for $35. Will need a preamplifier to go along with it though.

    • Raiden309 on 09/11/2020 - 20:00

      Yeti suitable for both streaming and singing. Singing all depend your mix mastering skill. Will get decent result, unless you want invest quality mic but with crappy mastering skill result same as a cheap mic.

  • Mixhael on 09/11/2020 - 13:04

    Quick check of camelX3 is the cheapest price for the nano ever. While not the cheapest for the full sized yeti, it's still decent.

    • Gundala on 09/11/2020 - 13:14

      Yes, you are right. It's the cheapest. I am still not sure whether the nano is good enough for just using it for conference calling (wfh)? I got the Neewer NW-7000, and quite dissapointed with the voice quality. Google search resulted in not much difference between the Nano and the full size Blue Yeti. Anyone could share the experience of using the nano for wfh?

      • cnut on 09/11/2020 - 14:24
        +1

        You reckon a dedicated microphone designed for podcasting isn’t “good enough” for conference calls? When half the people use the shitty in-built laptop mic?

        • fuzzy wuzzy on 09/11/2020 - 14:34
          +2

          I use the blue yeti for WFH, everyday zoom/gotomeeting/google meet calls and I keep getting compliments about how clear/well I sound, even with a loud stand fan at the back, nobody notices that too.

          I also use the built in monitoring for my headphones, and have the mac output audio connected through as well, so I just use one USB cable for mic + audio.

          • bozbargain on 09/11/2020 - 15:46
            +1

            @fuzzy wuzzy: Could you explain your setup again for a noob like me please? Especially the 'built in monitoring for my headphones' bit? I'm using an iMac and was hoping to do some podcast recordings but since I'm on Zoom 6h a day at the moment, keen to also understand the WFH setup you're referring to! Thanks!

            • cnut on 09/11/2020 - 16:01

              @bozbargain: Built in monitoring is where the Yeti has a plug for your headphones. So you can plug them in to listen to your own voice and see how loud it is, etc.

              You can also use that to listen to other people on a call.

            • fuzzy wuzzy on 09/11/2020 - 17:15
              +1

              @bozbargain: So the blue yeti comes with a 'headphone jack' that you can monitor and hear your own voice when recording. The bonus to this is that on my macbook (latest OS), I am able to select the output sound of the mac through the Yeti too (see screenshot -> https://imgur.com/a/RJECCAN) - (Go to Preferences —> Sound for this setting). So on top of hearing my voice, I also hear any sound from the laptop - ie. zoom meeting audio from my team members or any music I play on the laptop.

              So in terms of cables plugged into the laptop, I just have the one USB from the blue yeti, I don't need to rely on the laptop's headphone jack. Makes cable management much cleaner too.

              For your Zoom calls, it's pretty much the same too, in Zoom settings you can set what microphone and what audio output you can use, you can set to 'default' and that typically takes whatever the Mac sound setting is using (the same screenshot I showed you).

  • meong on 09/11/2020 - 13:05

    has anyone ever tried this by using the microphone to make calls but the audio comes through a speaker? would there be feedbacks even in the cardioid mode?

    • SKobb on 09/11/2020 - 13:11

      "RTX Voice" noise cancelling is amazing if you have a recent nVidia graphics card.

      • meong on 09/11/2020 - 13:15
        +1

        unfortunately work laptop got a non-RTX gfx card…

        • jasswolf on 09/11/2020 - 13:22

          Works with those now too, but depending on how old your GPU model is, it may struggle, and I wouldn't recommend it while gaming. 900 series and up should work.

          It's worth trying, but it's machine learning based, so there's every chance it will pick up the speech coming through your speakers as a vocal pattern it was trained to pick up.

          See how you go, but don't expect miracles, and perhaps look into comfortable/light headphones for your audio needs.

          • meong on 09/11/2020 - 13:37

            @jasswolf: yeah, work laptop got a Quadro P2000 gfx card and I got a pretty comfy gaming headphone to use for work calls but i think as the weather gets warmer it will get sweaty haha

            • jasswolf on 09/11/2020 - 13:48

              @meong: Something as simple as the Koss KSC75 may help with that use case. Should be on Amazon for $20-$30, but if it's via the US you'll need to hit $39 on the order to trigger free shipping.

              Lowest I've seen is $23 via Amazon US. Good earphone to have as a spare for lounging around the house, and you can look into getting a headband for it in time to improve its bass response.

              • Skinnerr on 09/11/2020 - 14:08

                @jasswolf: Or koss portapro

                • jasswolf on 09/11/2020 - 14:13

                  @Skinnerr: Tends to be nowhere near this price in AU, unfortunately, and probably benefits from changing out the foam for Yaxi pads.

                  But yes the idea here would be something smaller/lighter and/or more breathable.

                +1

                @jasswolf: thanks for the recommendation but I think i would like to find a solution of not having anything on my ears every now and then…

                i wear glasses too hence its a bit tricky to find anything that is either comfy, sounds decent, and actually got a good microphone… some of the cheaper headsets have really terrible microphones…

                currently i use a USB sound card that outputs both to my headphones and edifier speaker so in massive conference calls i just sit back and listen to my speakers and when it comes to my turn to speak i put on the headphone and talk…

                i regularly go on a conference call that goes for 3-5 hours so it can be quite intense on my ears after a while…

    • fuzzy wuzzy on 09/11/2020 - 14:41

      yes I often do this on my Mac for work meetings (google meet, zoom, gotomeeting). The cardioid mode is great and built for this. As long as your mic is between you and your laptop the rejection is good. Never tried on windows before, if there is a slightest delay I think it wont be good.

  • edmobile8 on 09/11/2020 - 13:22

  • jasswolf on 09/11/2020 - 13:23

    Blue Yeti isn't worth it until it drops below $120, and even then, an NT1-USB deal might saunter in and wipe the floor with it.

    The Nano is just bad, and the Snowball has a very specific use case that most people will not appreciate for desk use.

    Would the Yeti Nano Gold (or the Snowball) be better than the Samson Meteor?

  • Hinee on 09/11/2020 - 13:45

    I've been using the Snowball Black for gaming for ages (Paid $85 from Umart in 2018) and find it fantastic. Ideally I still need a mount for it, but even sitting at a right angle to me 60cm away from my face is crystal clear.

  • woka on 09/11/2020 - 13:59

    • ShipShapeRC on 09/11/2020 - 14:18

      Yeti's have been vary popular with YT'ers for a long time. The 4 mic patterns mean one mic can be used in a varierty of ways such as interviewing someone or just 1 person and filtering out room noise.

  • ywpn on 09/11/2020 - 14:13

    Bought both second hand for $99 each - Samson Meteor (6 years ago) and Blue Yeti (2 years ago).

    My main use case was voice recording for conferences and videos.
    To me they sound pretty similar - can't tell the difference when I play it back even though I tried to convince myself that I could hear the difference.

    However, the guy I bought the Meteor from said the Meteor wasn't good for recording music.

    Even though quality is the same, I'd pick the Yeti over the Meteor just because it's more coveniently positioned at my face - i.e., Meteor dimension is short so I found myself needing to stand it up on a book or something whilst the Yeti was at my mouth height when sitting down. But if you're buying brand new, a Meteor is $99 and Blue Yeti is $200 so might not be worth the price difference.

    Don't forget a pop filter, too!

  • mr_asstight on 09/11/2020 - 14:14

    You need to know how to configure this properly to maximise the Yeti's use

    • ShipShapeRC on 09/11/2020 - 14:19

      This is not the mic to look for if you want something for gaming that won't pick up your mechanical keyboard.

      Check out dynamic microphones.

      The nano is appropriate if you're set on a Blue Yeti because of the brand.

      The Original / Pro offers cardioid patterns you won't need, and stereo recording.

      • gelik on 09/11/2020 - 14:59

        Hi mate,
        Can you recommend a dynamic mic for gaming for mechanical keyboard users? I'm in the market for a microphone and had no idea this was something I should know!
        Thanks for your advice here and below.

        Cheers

      • p1 ama on 09/11/2020 - 15:02

        This is not the mic to look for if you want something for gaming that won't pick up your mechanical keyboard.

        RTX Broadcast.

        Dynamic microphones have far better off-axis rejection and much more severe falloff away from the microphone, but no matter what you do, there will always be keyboard sounds. RTX Broadcast/Voice is magic.

        That being said, I think that dynamic vs. condenser in terms of keyboard noise is not as cut and dry as you're making it seem. A lot of keyboard noise is picked up through microphonics and things like your mount, the quality of your boom arm, how heavy the microphone is…etc. are all actually really important.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/11/2020 - 14:17

    • Shwayne on 09/11/2020 - 14:55

      Cardioid is the pattern you'll be using, and whilst none of the condenser mics are appropriate for gaming due to keyboard / pc sound interference, it doesn't stop people from trying.

      The original / pro offer nothing special that you would need, other than stereo recording.
