Anyone have a recommendation pro or con re the Blue Yeti Mic ... I use it for recording books, periodicals, etc

Most USB mics seem to be condenser models as opposed to dynamic. Is there a meaningful difference ... I now use a dynamic mic

Thanx, Doug. I currently use a mixer and the only recordings I do are book narratives. I seem to have a lot of problems with the mixer (too many knobs and dials which can easily get out of whack). I willing to purchase a good mic, use the USB connection and jettison the mixer if you think that will ...

What's the advantage or disadvantage of using a mic that plugs directly into the USB port for recording dialogue ... as opposed to a mic which is also connected to a mixer

Once i have the two tracks as you've shown, how do I move the phrase from the lower track to the upper one and then s...

I need some "step by step" help. The author wants a 3-word insertion mid-way in a finished recording ... "later that evening". How do I do that?
