I'm not a Yeti fan or almost any USB microphone. If you get yours to work out of the packing, you win and everybody goes home happy. People who can't get theirs to work have some of the most entertaining and long postings on the forum. "How come I can't make a loud recording?" "What's...

You violated normal business practices. You are intended to throw everything out and buy all new CDs. Sorry. Correction. You are intended to rent all your music as needed with your always-on connection. Past that you probably ran into the Loudness Wars. Music CD are rarely recorded flat and unproces...
