» Yeti Microphone Support
HELPFUL TIPS USING YETI:
- Refer to the Yeti box for the type of setting to use for your recording.
- There is no shock mount so the Yeti will pick up every little sound you make. Be careful.
- Adjust the gain to control the sensitivity of sound the Yeti picks up.
- Positioning: Use the front of the microphone, which is the side with the Blue logo on it. It is not like a regular microphone do not use the end like eating a hot dog instead use the front. Stay within 6 to 10 inches from the microphone.
- If you have a boom stand use it. You want to get the microphone off the desk to avoid the Yeti from picking up vibrations.
- Use a pop filter.
- Mute button: when the light is flashing red, the mute function is on. When the light is solid red the mute function is off.
