what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from techno but flew here was an unboxing of the Yeti by blue this is a professional microphone with a USB input admittedly my audio has not been the best in past I haven't been up to the standards that I would have liked I'm hopeful that this Yeti is going to take care of it for me let's go ahead and dig in so I read a ton of reviews on USB input microphones and the Yeti really shy to the top by the same company that makes the snowball you might have seen it a lot of professional tech reviewers use it sort of a roundish microphone this is a step up from that you got a picture of the Yeti right here ultimate USB microphone for professional recording we've got four settings infinite possibilities is hopefully going to improve the audios lets you know you can just stereo mono all kinds of other stuff here are some features of said Yeti you've got a meet button we'll go through all that stuff rather when I open it up probably a bit better that way it's gonna set you back about 149 dollars and there's a picture of yetis on the back the Yeti is not the mythical creature that evidently likes to play the guitar go to work study singing opera listen to music and just be pissed off this is of course the microphone alright so let's go ahead and dig into this guy and of course I'll do audio test sort of before and after and see how it works I'm hoping that I can hook this guy up with my camera that I use and also when I do screencast this should improve the audio quality tremendously as well as when I do live broadcast so we'll go ahead and take the Yeti out of the box hopefully not throw it on the floor alright so there's another box inside of a box and there is plastic hereit's go ahead and bust out the big ol knife and a cut set of plastic all right there's a lot of plastic here it's or tape whatever it is go ahead and cut that probably shouldn't cut towards me let that be advice to everybody out there I didn't even break the there we go alright so now we've got this open we've got a USB input which looks like it is mini USB not micro if you'd be saying a lot of here is a book on the Yeti ultimate USB microphone for professional recording features we'll look at that later some styrofoam not good for the environment good for audio though and like I need some drumroll music it's a lot of packaging here for a microphone here we have the yeti pull off the silica stuff and it looks like it goes like this and you can see all the jokes already going on here alright so he dug through all that packaging let's take a look at the Yeti itself we've got of course a mute button and you've got your volume button if we go ahead and take a look at the butt of this guy and turn it around this is where a lot of the action happens you've got your mic gain control right here and you've got your four polar patterns which are going to be stereo Omni bi-directional and cardioid I'll learn sort of more about what those things do but hopefully the end result will be much better sounding audio of course I'm going to play with this you see how it works and sort of tweak different settings so be patient with me as I learn some audio tweaking hey guys I'm John Brennan TechnoBuffalo and I've seen the next video by this is an audio test of the Yeti and just sitting relatively near the microphone talking chat see what you're up to how are you how you feeling need help on an emotional level this is just a test of the regular microphone that's built into the iMac from sitting at the same just in chatting talking how are you good glad to hear
