If you’ve bought a Blue Yeti condenser USB microphone it’s probably because you want to do game streaming, podcasting, voiceovers, YouTube vlogs, or even make conference calls. Fortunately, it’s quick and easy to set up your Blue Yeti condenser USB microphone. Before you start recording you should know how to position the Blue Yeti mic. This includes using a room that is noise and Echo-free, positioning the Yeti in front of you, and at about 4 – 10-inches from your mouth. Ideally, your Blue Yeti should also be on a boom mic stand so it is not in direct contact with your desk.

There’s more to setting up your microphone, so I’ll go through the details of what you need to know and what you need to do. Once you’ve made the changes, you’ll be recording much better-quality audio with your Blue Yeti USB condenser microphone.

Blue Yeti setup instructions

Setup your Blue Yeti on the desktop stand

1x Yeti metal desktop stand
1x Blue Yeti mic
2x Yeti set screws
1x USB cable

Unless you are planning to use a boom arm mic stand, or boom scissor mic stand you will want to fit the Blue Yeti to the included desktop stand.

The desktop microphone stand is all metal and heavy. It’s meant to be that way so that your Blue Yeti microphone has a good solid base to rest on and not wobble about.

The Yeti has two threaded mounting holes, one on each side of the microphone body. Linie these up with the matching holes in the “arms” of the desktop stand. Then insert and screw in each set screw while holding the mic with your other hand. If you find it awkward you may need someone to help.

Once the first screw is in, don’t tighten all the way. Move on to the set screw on the other side. When both set screws are in, tilt the Yeti to the required angle and then tighten off each of the set screws.

Connect to your Blue Yeti to a Windows PC

Use the included USB cable to connect the Yeti to your PC. The Yeti has a USB-mini socket on the base of the microphone body. Now connect the other end of the USB cable into a USB port on your PC. Since the Blue Yeti is a Plug’n’Play USB microphone your computer will automatically setup the microphone for you. However, your PC may already have other microphones installed, so you may need to select the Blue Yeti as your default audio recording and playback device.

Setup the Blue Yeti as your default audio device

You can select the Yeti as your default recording and playback device in several ways on Windows. I’ll show you just one way since it is similar in Windows 7.8.1 and 10. Although I assume most people will be using Windows 10.

blue, yeticaster, yeti, microphone, instructions, position

Step 1. In the Windows search bar, next to the Windows icon, type “Control Panel”. Then click on the Control Panel app entry at the top of the pop-up menu.

Step 2. When the Control Panel opens click on Hardware and Sound.

Step 3. In Hardware and sound look to the right of the speaker icon and click on Manage audio devices or just click on the speaker icon.

Step 4. When the Sound window opens click on the Recording tab, scroll down, and click on Microphone: Yeti Stereo Microphone.

Step 5. Now click on the Playback tab, scroll down and click on Speakers: Yeti Stereo Microphone.

Setup headphones to listen

If you followed the previous steps, you Yeti will not only be your PC’s audio input but it’s also the audio output. You will have noticed in the last setup steps that Windows also sees the Yeti as speakers. This is because the Yeti is effectively a soundcard for your computer.

If you look at the bottom of the microphone, you’ll see not just the USB cable socket but also a 3.5mm headphone socket. Plug your headphones into the socket and you’ll not only hear the microphone output from the Yeti but also the sounds from your PC.

So, if you’re playing music, watching a video, or playing a game, you’ll hear the audio from those in your headphones along with the sound of your voice. That’s something I think is cool.

Where to position your Blue Yeti for good recordings

You’ve got the Yeti setup in its desktop stand and connected to your computer, so you’re ready to start recording. Unfortunately, you’re not.

Even if you had the most expensive studio microphone in the world if you use it in the wrong place your audio is going to sound like garbage. There’s more to recording good audio than just your recording equipment. You need to consider where to position your Blue Yeti, and that means thinking about the space in which you are recording.

There are two things that will influence your sound quality. 1: Background noise, and 2: Room Echo or reverberation.

Background noise relates to how quiet your room is. That’s not just hearing noisy neighbors or your mom or kids from the kitchen. Also, consider sounds in your room. Can you turn off or move away from noisy fans and aircon? If you have a choice of rooms, one facing the street and one facing the backyard, go for the one that has less noise from outside.

Simple things like closing Windows and doors can make a significant difference too. If you need excellent sound quality you might even consider installing soundproofing, although that can be an expensive step.

Room echoes, or reverberation, is something you’ll be more aware of in an empty room. I go into detail about room Echo in my article, Why Does Sound Echo in an Empty Room. However, you’ll notice the problem more in an empty room and in rooms that have wood or laminate floors. I give a full account of what you can do about the problem in your home in my article, How to reduce echoes in a room cheaply.

Under normal conditions, you may not notice background sounds like neighbors, lawnmowers, birdsong, aircon, and computer fans. However, as soon as you put on headphones it’s remarkable how loud these sounds appear.

The thing is, our brains do a fantastic job of ignoring sounds that are unimportant. Under normal conditions, we filter those out and FOCUS on the sounds that we’re interested in. Unfortunately, microphones aren’t quite the same. They don’t discriminate and will faithfully pick up the sound in the room. So, avoid rooms with noticeable reverberation if you’re recording a voiceover. However, reverberation may be just what you want if you’re recording a vocal or instrument.

If you record audio with reverberation, it can be difficult to remove. There are some post-processing techniques and plug-ins you can use to reduce reverb, but it can be tricky, and the results can be variable.

Whether you need to deal with light background noise or room reverberation you can improve your recordings a little by using a portable isolation shield.

The isolation shield is made of a perforated metal back, with the inner side filled with sound-absorbing cotton and/or high-density acoustic foam. The isolation shield goes around the back and sides of the microphone, reducing reflections and deadening background sounds.

I like the Aokeo microphone isolation shield since it is suitable for the Blue Yeti or any other similar condenser microphone. With the Yeti, the Aokeo isolation shield works whether you leave the Yeti on its desktop stand or hang the microphone from a Blue Compas boom arm stand and Radius III shock mount. It measures 12.1” x 10.8” x 5.5”.

♪【Eliminate Interference】♪: The inner side of the microphone isolation shield is made of.
♪【Flexiblity Convenience】♪: The folding panel design features enables angle adjustments.
♪【Durability】♪: Constructed out of premium steel with high-quality screws to ensure.
♪【Versatility】♪: The microphone isolation shield can be fixed on a countertop or tabletop.

Blue Yeti Microphone Review: Should You Get One?

The Blue Yeti microphone works great in many recording situations and offers a ton of useful features for the price.

The Blue Yeti USB microphone has been the most popular USB microphone in the last several years, but I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone.

In this Blue Yeti review, we’re going to take a look at all the features, sound quality, and let you know who it’s best for.

You’ll also get recommended accessories to make the Yeti even better.

Blue Yeti Features

Polar Patterns

One of the stand-out features of the Yeti is the ability to change polar patterns.

Blue uses a proprietary tri-capsule microphone array that allows you to switch between 4 different polar patterns, customizing how the Yeti picks up sound.

They are Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, and Stereo:

Cardioid Mode

Cardioid mode is the one that most people will use. It is perfect for podcasting, gaming, streaming, webinars, or calls – and focuses the pickup pattern to the front.

Omnidirectional Mode

Omnidirectional mode picks up sound from all directions equally. It will sound more distant, but is great for conference calls or other situations where sound quality isn’t critical but you need to record multiple people.

Bidirectional

Bidirectional is great for interviews, although using one microphone is not going to be the best option.

If you’re regularly doing in-person interviews, I’d recommend looking into the 2 person kit here.

Stereo

Stereo mode can be a good choice if you need clear separation of left and right channels – and will also work well for recording instruments, although cardioid is usually a better choice.

Headphone jack and volume control

No matter which USB mic you end up getting, make sure it has a headphone jack.

This allows you to monitor your recording or streaming without delays.

A nice touch with the Blue Yeti is that it has a headphone volume knob right on the front.

Gain control

Gain controls how sensitive the microphone is. This is controlled by a dial on the back.

Most USB microphones don’t include this and require you to adjust gain levels with software, which can difficult to do during a recording.

When people start getting loud, it’s nice to be able to quickly turn the gain down so you don’t peak and overload the mic. If that happens you can’t fix it with software later.

HOW TO MAKE A BLUE YETI MIC SOUND BETTER | BEST BLUE YETI SETTING FOR STREAMING

Mute button

The mute button is another nice feature not found on many other USB mics.

It also has a red LED that goes from solid when not muted to flashing when muted so you know which position it’s in at a glance.

USB Plug-n-play

You won’t need software or drivers to use the Blue Yeti. Just plug the included cable into a USB port, select it in your audio settings, and start recording.

Blue recently came out with software that lets you get updates and adjust settings (see Blue Sherpa below) but it’s optional.

Stand

The stand that comes with the Blue Yeti is nice and solid. It allows you to rotate the position of the mic, but since you should really be speaking from only a few inches away, I would skip the stand and get a boom arm or mic stand right away.

Check out the accessories toward the bottom of this review.

Size weight

It’s important to realize that the Yeti is a heavy microphone. Because of that, it won’t work with just any stand. Then add the weight of a shock mount and it’s no joke!

Blue Sherpa Software

Blue Sherpa is free desktop software that lets you update any of their USB mics, control settings such as gain and pickup patterns.

With the Yeti microphone, I was able to update firmware, control gain, monitoring volume, headphone volume, and mute:

Final Thoughts

Even though the Blue Yeti tends to be popular with beginners (it was the first external microphone I bought), I find that it performs much better in the hands of someone slightly more experienced with audio recording.

For one, you see a ton speaking into the wrong part of the microphone, so Blue Microphones actually provide this graphic to show you how to use it:

If you want the flexibility to record in different polar patterns, have onboard gain control, and have a quiet space to record, the Yeti is a great choice.

If you don’t see yourself using the different pickup patterns, there are better choices for a USB microphone to stream or record.

Because of its sensitivity, no matter where you record I highly recommend pairing it with a shock mount and a quality boom arm. See the Accessories section below.

As for the price, it’s MSRP is 129.99 US, but it’s frequently on sale for less or offered as a bundle. You can also check different colors as the price can vary between them.

My Rating: 4.5/5

Blue Yeti Accessories

Best Deal: You can get the Blue Yeticaster bundle that comes with the mic, boom arm, and shock mount at a big discount. We have a separate post that highlights various Blue Yeti accessories to improve the audio quality of your mic, so we’ll just list the best ones here:

Blue Radius III Shock Mount

A shock mount will prevent a lot of sound that you don’t want from traveling into the mic. Things like typing, tapping on the table or stand, bumping your desk, and more will be amplified because they don’t have to travel through the air. There have been a few versions of the official Radius shock mounts over the years. The latest is the Radius III, which is smaller and lighter than the Radius II – and a better looking in my opinion. Keep in mind that you’ll have to get a stand of some kind (like the one below) in order to use this.

Blue Compass Boom Arm

The Compass Boom Arm is a relatively new product from Blue. It’s designed to hold the weight of the Yeti easily, is easy to adjust, and looks great. A boom arm will also help you position the mic in the perfect spot quickly – and then get out your way when you’re done recording. I’ve said this before but a boom arm is easily the best investment you can get for any mic.

WindTech PopGard 2000 Pop Filter

This simply sits over the microphone and helps prevents plosives. What are those? Just put your hand in front of your mouth say “I want a PopGard” You should feel a burst of air right when you say the “P” – and this will help that from overloading the mic capsules.

Is The Blue Yeti Good For Singing? Here’s The Answer

The Blue Yeti has quickly become one of the best-known USB microphones on the market. Convenient and versatile, it is especially popular amongst podcasters, streamers, and content creators.

Is the Blue Yeti good for singing?

With its ability to change between four polar patterns, the Blue Yeti condenser mic is excellent at recording vocals to a high standard. It also has an onboard headphone jack, along with gain and volume controls, so that you can monitor your singing in real-time.

USB microphones are most commonly used for spoken word applications, such as podcasting or live streaming.

Musicians tend to use XLR microphones with an audio interface, because of the adjustable gain, level, and monitoring settings. However, the Blue Yeti is arguably better for singing than many of its XLR equivalents.

In this guide, I’ll dissect the Blue Yeti mic to determine its capabilities for singing recordings.

Why The Blue Yeti Is A Great Choice For Singers

Thanks to the Rapid advancements in music technology over the past decades, all that you need to record high-quality audio is a capable microphone and a laptop.

As the medium of podcasting has become increasingly popular, USB microphones have emerged as the go-to choice for spoken word recordings.

The main advantage of using a USB microphone is that you don’t need an external audio interface to connect the microphone to your computer or laptop. The USB connector port provides all of the power that is required for the microphone to record.

Very few USB microphones can claim to have enjoyed the undeniable success of the Blue Yeti

In recent years, this versatile condenser microphone has cemented its position as one of, if not the most popular USB microphones used for podcasting, live streaming, and other content creation.

Although the Blue Yeti is less popular amongst musicians and vocalists, it is capable of capturing high-quality singing recordings too.

It doesn’t produce the standard of an expensive condenser microphone used in professional recording studios, but for an affordable USB microphone, it performs very impressively for singing.

Condenser microphones are the most commonly used type for recording vocals. For live singing, it’s more common to use a dynamic microphone like the Shure SM58, because dynamic mics are generally less prone to noise issues in a live environment.

The Blue Yeti is a condenser microphone, and it boasts a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This means that it can capture the full spectrum of the human voice, no matter what the style or tone of singing is. Having an extensive frequency response is an important quality for vocal mics.

Check out my article on recording ASMR with a Blue Yeti Microphone. You can read it here.

Polar Patterns Of A Blue Yeti Microphone

The main quality that makes the Blue Yeti good for singing and vocal recordings is its ability to switch between several polar patterns.

Polar patterns are essentially designs that alter the directionality of the microphone’s capsule. A cardioid polar pattern, which is one of the most commonly found in vocal condenser mics, picks up sound from the front of the capsule.

The Blue Yeti has a tri-capsule design, which makes it possible to switch between four polar patterns and change the way the microphone picks up sound. These polar patterns are:

When you’re using the Blue Yeti for singing recordings, it’s most likely that you’ll use the cardioid polar pattern. The majority of vocal condenser microphones use this polar pattern, as it focuses the capsule to the front, picking up the sound of the singer facing it.

Nevertheless, singing is not a one-dimensional practice.

If you’re recording a duet with another person or a choir, omnidirectional polar patterns are ideal. When the Blue Yeti is set to omnidirectional, it will pick up sound equally from all directions around the microphone capsule.

Bidirectional is well suited to interviews, as it picks up sound from both the front and the back of the microphone. Again, this might be useful if you’re recording two vocalists at once, or perhaps a singer accompanied by a guitarist or other instrument.

The stereo polar pattern allows the Blue Yeti to capture separated audio of the left and right channels.

For singing, you might need to use this polar pattern if you’re trying to separate two audio tracks, two singers, or a singer and instruments in the mix. The only issue with stereo mode is that it is hard to clean up the audio when mixing.

How to make the Blue Yeti microphone sound amazing

Having the choice of four different polar patterns is one of the standout features of the Blue Yeti microphone, and probably a large reason for its popularity. It means that the microphone can be quickly tailored to suit the style of recording that you need at any given time.

If you’re predominantly going to be recording yourself singing alone, I’d recommend sticking to the cardioid polar pattern. This will provide you with the clearest recordings of your singing, and FOCUS the microphone towards you, with no background noises spilling into the track.

Furthermore, the Blue Yeti allows you to experiment with the four different polar patterns.

Not only does this provide you with valuable knowledge of how polar patterns affect singing recordings, but it also means that if the time comes to record multiple vocalists at once, or other accompaniment to a singer, you have the platform to facilitate this.

In the table below, you can see a summary of the four polar patterns that the Blue Yeti is capable of using:

Features Of The Blue Yeti For Vocals

Along with the generous choice of polar patterns that the Blue Yeti boasts, it also includes several features that improve its compatibility with singing. It’s rare to find so many onboard features on a USB microphone.

If you were using an audio interface and an XLR condenser microphone to record vocals, you’d have gain controls for the inputs, a master level control, phantom power, headphone outputs, and possibly other features to streamline the process.

One of the reasons that vocalists, in general, prefer to use XLR condenser microphones with interfaces over their USB counterparts is because of the flexibility and control they offer over the various aspects of the recordings.

This video provides an accurate demonstration of Blue Yeti’s ability to record vocals.

The Blue Yeti is a standout USB mic because it includes most of the features I just described.

Essentially, it is a microphone that has a mini audio interface built into its chassis – allowing you to tailor various aspects to suit your singing style ready for recording.

Headphone output jack
Headphone volume control
Gain control
Mute button

The headphone output which is built into the chassis of the Blue Yeti USB microphone is a very useful tool, especially for capturing singing. When you record vocals, you must be able to hear your voice. This is usually facilitated by monitoring on an audio interface.

However, with the Blue Yeti, you don’t need an interface to monitor your singing as your record. Simply plug your headphones into the output and use the headphone output volume control to adjust the levels accordingly.

Using the headphone output to monitor your recordings will save you time and effort.

There’s nothing worse than recording a perfect singing take, only to find that the audio has spiked at a certain point, causing digital clipping. This is much less likely to occur if you use the Blue Yeti’s headphone output to monitor your recordings.

Another accessory that is worth mentioning is the stand that comes with the Blue Yeti. Solid and robust, it is designed to allow the microphone to be easily rotated when you need to change its direction.

It is a desktop stand – which isn’t ideal for recording singing unless you have a tall desk or surface to place it on. If you find that the stand is not ideal for your singing recordings, you can swap it for a boom arm mic which will provide you with additional flexibility.

Finally, the Blue Yeti is equipped with USB “Plug-n-play”. This means that you require no software of drivers to use the mic. Simply connect it to the USB port on your laptop or computer, and it’s ready to start recording your vocals right away.
