    For the last month, I've had my Blue Yeti set to the full room setting (not the carioid) because any time I used Cardioid, everyone said I sounded like crap. I was just so unhappy with how I sounded on this Blue Yeti.
    A few videos said Blue Yetis are just not good for streaming and are more for like round table discussions, so I was like, "Okay, guess I'll just stick with the Blue Yeti until I get my stream setup finished, and then buy one of those 300 dollar mics that are super popular".
    Well, at 1:55 you literally solved my problem. I don't know how all the other videos I watched managed to not explain I was actually speaking into the back of the mic this whole time. Goddam man... goddam. THANK YOU.

      @@DemothHymside you were probably using the omni-directional mode. cardiod mode, the most popular mode for streaming and gaming which helps isolate background noises takes sound from only the front of the mic. when using the omni-directional mode, sounds from all around the mic are picked up. refer back to the guide you got in the packaging or google the 4 modes.

    Thank you. Very informative. I just got my blue yeti today and was looking for how to properly use it to get the best sound. This video gave an excellent education in under 10 minutes. I just ordered an adjustable mic stand, foam windscreen and shock mount. I also appreciate the no cost simple acoustic "treatment" of put a towel on the desktop. I have a glass desktop it's a hard surface, sound for sure will bounce off of it. Putting a thick towel on the desk will at least eliminate that one acoustic issue and it's the one sitting right in front of me so it's a good one to get rid of.
