Re: Microhpone advice needed: Blue/Yeti vs Rode NT-USB

So by my count, for about $30 usd and a little microphone management, you could have a tiny portable studio and sound terrific.

That's the UM2 in full "Studio" configuration. That's actually my outside photo studio, but it's identical to an actual shoot.

Re: Microhpone advice needed: Blue/Yeti vs Rode NT-USB

Still goin' with what you got and a couple of moving blankets. That can be effective and pretty cheap. Harbor Freight had good blankets. HarborFreightBlanket.JPG As it says in the studio posting, Home Depot, last I checked had pre-cut pipes and the install doesn't use glue. Stick it together and kno...

Re: Microhpone advice needed: Blue/Yeti vs Rode NT-USB

A word on terminology. "Condenser microphones" work by making your voice vibrate two very delicate pieces of metal foil, a "condenser." This is also why you should never, ever blow into a microphone. That's a good way to make microphone-shaped trash. Dynamic microphones make your...

Re: Microhpone advice needed: Blue/Yeti vs Rode NT-USB

I find necessary to edit my screencast lecture recordings. Editing, as a fuzzy rule, takes five times the length of the show—and that's if everything goes well. This is why people who need to dash off show after show are desperate to avoid editing. I have a favorite YouTube channel I'm about to aba...

Re: Should I turn Norton Virus protection off?

Exactly which Audacity are you using? Help > About. There was an early version of Audacity that had troubles with "Save-As." The current version is 2.4.2. As a fuzzy rule, you need virus protection less if you're not connected to the internet—at all. Many virus packages allow you to list p...

Re: Blue Yeti - Not Recording Both Channels

When monitoring my mic in audacity, you can see that it is picking up the left side much better than the right. This is from the first message. How do you see that? If you tell Audacity Click to Start Monitoring so the sound meters bounce without going into record, do you have normal Left recording...

Re: -Inf noise floor too low - ACX Help please

There is a sister forum posting to yours which is another "This is impossible, but it's happening." to try and dampen any echo Yes. It will do that. That's an example of the thing I constructed out of furniture moving blankets and plastic pipes which is itself a copy of a different commerc...

Re: Blue Yeti - Not Recording Both Channels

More fishing. You said when it was working correctly, you could lean left and the left sound meter would bump up. Lean right, and the right meter would go up. On the laptop, lean left and both sound meters would go up. Lean right and they would both go down? Just so we understand that. I know this i...
