my problem with my mic: when i plug it in literally nothing happens. the mic turns on, as indicated by the on light. it was working until i let my brother use it when all of a sudden the mic just didnt work anymore
this is unquestionably one of the most useful tutorials I have ever found on UA-cam. I stumbled across it, and it addressed issues I did not realize I had with my blue yeti. Thank you so much.
Simultaneously holding both buttons down on the Yeti Nano while plugging in the USB seemed to reset the device in some way. The Bottom button cycled yellow and red during the process. Afterward it still says "DFU in FS" in Device Manager but the Sherpa App now recognizes the device and I was able to apply the firmware update successfully. The Sherpa app said the device was at v 0 and was updated to v4.5. www.reddit.com/r/microphones/comments/9roarp/blue_yeti_nano_no_longer_detected_by_windows_10/
The thing is I can't find my blue yeti mic anywhere in my settings, control panel, ext and its plugged in it has power but it just won't work or show. Plz help.
I was playing league of legends and streaming when suddenly my microphone stopped listening. I had to stop the transmission and see what happened. This microphone is crap and they better get it back before they lose the warranty. From the moment I took it out of its box and connected it, it gave me problems. wont recognize. I had to change USB cable. it served me for 4 months until what happened in the first paragrap. now its broken. and it's bullshit not finding clear answers anywhere. or any support from the page
In case you're wondering how to get rid of the delay, go to the recording tab on the Blue Yeti, then Properties, then Listen, there uncheck "Listen to this device". Then go back to Playback on the blue Yeti and do the unmuting on microphone, just like the Professor did on the video. Now you will no longer have the delay on your headphones.The sensibility however is now regulated on the Levels tab with the microphone gage on Playback tab of the Blue Yeti, no longer on Recording tab, I suggest a value of 30 to minimice background noise. You tray your own value. If you don't uncheck the Listen to this device checkbox, there will be a delay on your voice monitoring thru the headphones. it is annoying to monitor your voice with delay, almost impossible to concentrate.Some people don't notice the delay but once you do this, you will definitely notice the difference.Thanks to the Professor for this video.if you want to se my Blue Yeti in action, click on my Icon, it will take you to my channel InfoGuerra.tv
I'm so pissed I tried everything, the power is going threw so it is fine, the moment I plugged in it works for 3 seconds then no more, man I don't know what to do
Not sure how to fix that. Did you try deleting the device and then plugging it back in? If that doesn't work you might want to try contacting Blue support: www.bluemic.com/service-requests/
That really sucks. I have deleted it and reconnected. No change. This didn't happen until I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1. On 8.1 everything was fine.
I feel your pain. Is it by chance disabled? After you right click the speaker in the system tray and click "recording devices", try right clicking in that area and choosing "show disabled devices".
Wait, it won't mess up if I delete the it from Device Manager and re-plug it back in? I been thinking on doing that but I been very afraid it might permanently not function on my computer again...
Dude. Serious thanks. I've been struggling with this damn thing for more than a year. There are just soooo many variables to the audio settings. This really helped clear things up. Now I can actually have some fun with the thing. A thousand thanks.
Yellow light blinks Download sherpa. Try to install sherpa. Some stupid driver is missing and ugh. How can I fix levels without using sherpa? I've done everything I can but the yellow blink won't stop without sherpa. I have the nano.
I found a fix for my own personal issue. The yeti would not pick up any form of audio whenever I would power on my PC. I would need to unplug the yeti and plug it back in for it to begin working normally. I found out that changing any of the microphone settings within Windows 10 (mic volume, renaming the device) would cause this to happen. I have since uninstalled the drivers, unplugged, restarted and plugged back in and have not changed anything and I have not had the issue since. Hope this helps someone out there!
My live monitoring randomly stopped working overnight. Went to make sure it wasn't muted (Playback Devices->Yeti Nano->Level), but the option for microphone is gone. I've reinstalled drivers, and am struggling to find others with this problem. This mic is less than a week old, and has been working fine. All other functionalities are working. Any ideas?
When I want to use my yeti pro as my default playback device, sometimes when I click on a UA-cam video it WONT play, when I enter a game there will be NO sound, until I unplug and plug back the mic or disable and enable it. How do I fix this?? And it also doesn't work when I want to use it for voice chat in let's say overwatch, and only OCCASIONALLY works in audacity, sometimes the green bar doesn't even move, in recording devices for the blue yeti. How the hell do I fix this, the first day I receive the mic and there's so many problems.
THANK YOU!!!!!! My mic got unplugged ( has happened many times ) But this time for some reason it everything got reset to default. For me the fix was changing the default volume from 82 to 0. (4:44 in vid ) Took me 2hours to find out what it was even bought a new cable and almost a new mic entirely.
I have tried 2 different computers which means about 5 different USB ports as well as plugging the mic into a USB hub with 3 additional ports. I have tried the mic as listed above with 2 different cables. It is not even appearing on the Device Manager as a USB Advanced Audio Device. I am thoroughly confused
What to do when none of the things you show in the video works what so ever.. i even had my PC seasrch online for a driver for Blue yeti Pro, but apperently there exist no drivers for BLYE YETI PRO cause my PC apperently cannot find it
I have a Blue Yeti Pro, my problem is that in the levels of speakers properties doesn't show the Microphone tab (it's not muted but i would like to mute it or change the value of the tab). I've been looking for a solution for this several times and nothing works, neither holding the pattern buttom, or using logitech g hub, etc. I am completely upset with this. I pray for help, please.
Can anyone help I keep getting the popup where Windows doesn't recognize the USB device I have tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 port I have also changed the cable and tried on other computers all show the same results
I had the background noise muted for a while but all of a sudden it no longer works. When I take mic recording settings to zero, it takes the audacity record to zero as well...HELP!!!!!
mine won't show up at all and it's not plugged into a 3.0 or anything. It shows that the mic is on with the solid red light on the mute but wont show up ANYWHERE on my PC. Someone please help.
if I lower the level volume then it is super quiet and can hardly hear anything at all. Would Love for there to be no buzz but lowering the Level just makes the mic unusable. Any other suggestions?
Not sure if you are still up to the task of helping others but I am at a loss with my blue yeti mic. I have been trying for multiple hours a day for the past few days to get it working. Windows recognizes that I have a mic, when I listen to it I can hear myself speaking, but when I go to use it with another application, it never picks up any sound. In a program like discord there is no sound when I go to speak. Windows does not display any green bars indicating sound but I know for a fact it is not hardware related.
Mine doesn't connect with the embedded camera in my PC. Windows recognizes the mic, just not the video portion of the camera. Anyone else have that happen to them? Maybe this doesn't work for video?
This really work for me thank you! What's really weird is that it all of a sudden turned into "Generic USB Device" instead of "Blue Yeti Microphone" for me, how come this happened? (Before I watched this video)
None of these helped me, I'll be using my mic and it'll just stop working its the default and it still has power to it but doesn't pick up ANY audio unless I unplug and plug it back in
My Blue Yeti`s mute button isnt working. When I got it it worked fine but after one day the mute button stopped working and is now perma muted. The mute button is lighting up like it normaly does when its in the mute mode but when I press it again nothing happens. Can someone pls help me with this?
hey guys, i am trying to record with my blue yeti in ableton on my windows laptop. whenever i speak into the mic and it goes through the system and then into my headphones connected to the laptop, the microphone pics up everything in the room from all around the mic. it isnt working properly. i would really appreciate some help!
So the fact that it doesn’t recognize it by it’s name doesn’t mean it’s not properly recognized? All this time I thought it had drivers issue, that’s why it was recognized as hd audio device
i have a problem with this mic. I plugged it into one of the usb ports in the back of my pc but it stopped working a day ago. it started with the gain gradually lowering but now there's literally no input gain at all. ik its the mic cus i plugged it into another pc and tried it, i also did it on a mac. The light seems to be working and i can hear through the headphone jack with this mic but i just can't get the mic to register any input audio
Is there a way to set the default mic level to 1 or anything? I make the correction to 0 or 1 from the default, and windows keeps correcting that. Thx in advance.
i just figured out why i couldnt hear anything through the blue yeti it was something in windows all i had to do was right click on the sound buttton on the task bar and it was muted i wanted to kill myself after that
Gang, I know it sounds odd, but if you are still having problems with the mic being recognized, I saw this solution and it worked. Use an older USB cable. It will work. Very odd. I plugged it into my 2.0 USB ports and now it works fine. My 3.0 and neither my 2.0 worked with the new cable that came with it. Freaking odd!! Good luck all!
My blue yeti doesn't show up in recording. It doesn't show up anywhere besides in device manager under "other devices". My sound inputs don't even show it.
my issue with my yeti is that it will work fine on the first boot but when i turn off my pc for the night then come back and turn my pc back on and it doesn't pick up my audio so i have to unplug then replug in the usb and they it will start working but its getting super annoying and i wanna know how to fix this issue
my problem is that when i try to use audacity it says the mic is connected and everything but when i try to start recording and it won’t pick any audio up
Sir, Thank You very much for taking the time to do this! I've been struggling for 2 hours working with drivers and switching cables also uninstalling Windows updates trying to solve this problem. My Yeti wasn't even being recognized, changed the cable and now it gets recognized but it wasn't read as a Yeti mic but as a USB Advanced Mic, and I wasn't getting any sound/voice feedback by any means until I watched this video. SO AGAIN, THANKS A MILLIONS!!!
I purchased a Blue Yeti Blackout and i haven't been able to get it working. I've done everything, changed every setting. And it won't pick up any sound through the mic. The headphone jack works and i can listen to music through my computer but nothing goes into the mic. I've made it the default and still nothing. I am so unhappy I can't get it working, how can I fix this issue? I literally bought it 2 days ago
Hi Joel, that stinks. Did you review all the comments on this video? There are lots of tips from others and myself on things to try. For example - try a different USB port, different cable, try it on another computer to make sure it is not defective, etc...... If you exhaust all the tips in the comments and the video doesn't help, you might want to contact Blue support. They should get back to you pretty quickly.
i cant see it no matter what it does not work for games or anything the light turns on so the usb is working and i dont know what to do and i have only had the mic for 5 months!
@Piano Tipping Hey, Piano Tipping. Today, my blue yeti randomly stopped recording, and so I restarted the computer. When my computer was back on, the mic recorded, but only for like 20 seconds. I tried to disable my headphones-mic and enable/disable the blue yeti speaker under playback. I also tried going into both the blue yeti mic and speaker to enable and disable the "allow programs to take exclusive control of this device"-button. I've also tried to reinstall its driver. What keeps happening now is that if I move from Recording to Playback under Sound, there is some times a lag which hasn't been there before. And worse: The mic works for like 3-15 seconds and then turns off without any error message, code, sound or anything. I can then disable the mic (which takes a weird long time compared to other devices - about 2-3 seconds) and then enable it again, only to find that the same thing happens again. 3-15 seconds and it's off. What should I do?
I tried this out, and it still didn't work for me. My blue yeti has been showing up as speakers on my playback devices, and microphone on recording devices, but it's not shown by name, and I can't get it to work.
This video mentions that the mic doesn't appear by the correct name on Windows 10. If you are on Windows 10 that is normal. I'd recommend watching the whole video and reading through all the comments. There are lots of comments from different people with lots of ideas on how to fix problems with this mic. Hopefully one of them might help.
Thank you very very much! Anyways, why does it happens? My mic suddenly shows "usb advanced audio device" and not Blue Yeti anymore.... is some kind of hardware problem?
Okay after the latest windows update my blue yeti stopped working when i go to recording devices and click on my blue yeti some windows dll crashes if you know of a fix please tell me of it thank you
Hello Piano Tipping! Great video :)) But unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. I wanted to ask if you've encountered the issue that I'm struggling with right now - the headphone output from the Yeti monitors audio from the mic only on the left channel, but it's definitely not a hardware issue, cause all the other audio from my pc comes (through the very same headphone output) in stereo. Do you know what could be the reason? Cheers!
My microphone shows up as USB Advanced Audio Device. The mute button stopped glowing overnight and now when you try to record with it it makes a small pop noise (as if you tapped on the microphone) and then makes no noise at all. Could you help?
I'm not sure what would cause that. Did you try a new cable, or plugging it into a different USB port? Do you have another computer you could plug it into to make sure the mic itself does not have a problem?
+HolySpitball If you get the same symptoms after those tests, it sounds like a hardware problem. The USB jacks on these are prone to failure. Inspect it carefully with a magnifying glass and make sure you don't have a bent or snapped off pin. See if the jack seems loose at all. You may need to repair the jack. I have another video on my channel for that. It's not for the faint of heart, and kinda tricky. If you are good at soldering it's possible. You may want to check with Blue support first.
how do i f ix this: So i plug in my yeti. (Yes ive tried different cables made sure the right reocrding/playback devices were set) (yeti and yeti)(for monitoring and recording) it now detected it as an advanced recordign device. it wont let me monitor the audio? but i can still listen to things if i have my headphones plugged in the jack. ive had my yeti for around a year and ive never had this problem. is my mic busted? ive tried everything/ UPDATE: (like 2 mins later) i did the levels thing cuz im stupied and was too impatient to watch the whole video. thanks so much
the reason why your microphone is detected like that is because it is broken, it is a known issue and blue will replace your microphone, it is a very annoying thing that they acknowledge but still keep selling them... It happened to mine too, it stopped been detected as blue yeti and started to be detected as advance audio device, once this happens you have to make all the things this video tells you to do, configure EVERYTHING manually because the computer cannot tell anymore what did you plug in and will not understand how to configure all this automatically, so this video is VERY helpful. Your microphone is broken, but it can be restored to fully working if you know how to set all these things manually, it is very annoying but you won't need to return it to guaranty if you live in a country were sending the microphone can cost you a lot... OH BY THE WAY...NEVER unplug the microphone, every time you do that it will lose ALL configurations...this does not happen if the microphone is working correctly and detected as Blue Yeti right away.
I believe if the device is re-installed via unplugging or forced uninstall it will revert this setting back. So occasionally my mic will completely cut out or go robotic and I have to change USB ports, the side-affect of that is this issue which you've helped me identify, thanks!
About the microphone being too loud with the Windows mic volume turned all the way up; I think you forgot to turn down the gain on the mic. I have mine set to 1/4 and it works fine, with the Windows mic volume set at 100%.
+The Priest of UA-cam That's not the case. I show the knob settings at 7:57. While I did have it at around 10 o'clock, I tried different gain settings. Lowering the gain on the mic did not fix the problem for me. Lowering the volume in Windows did. It was distorted and too loud for me even with the gain set low.
Piano Tipping Come to think of it, I have distortion/loudness issues with Morphvox Pro and Manycam in Windows 10. I did some research and apparently there's loads of people who have had microphone distortion since upgrading/clean installing Windows 10.
honestly i wanna say mate you are a complete livesaver, i've been making youtube videos with scratchy and squeaky background audio but after the tip at 5:52 my mic sounds perfect. Thank you So Much:))
OMG Thank you so much for this video!!!! I did not know what was wrong with my blue yeti at all and this video fixed it all! Thank you so much! Keep up the great vids!
Dude, thank you soo much, I love this... the perfect video I needed, I fixed every single problem I was looking for to fix, cant thank you enough again!
Vid starts at 2:13
Ty
what do I do if my yeti isn't showing up in my recording devices
Disco Donn I'm having the same problem bra
Use USB2.0 not 3.0, as it doesn't work with USB 3
thanks it worked
so weird it worked with usb 3 for like 6 months up till now.
Thank you so much for this video. I thought my blue yeti was broken for months! This video just solved everything !!!
All I had to do was change the usb port I was using.
I was trying to fix this thing for 2 years.
I want to die.
What usb did you buy?
can anyone help me my blue yeti says the usb device is unrecognized and ive tried every port and a different cable!!
my problem with my mic: when i plug it in literally nothing happens. the mic turns on, as indicated by the on light. it was working until i let my brother use it when all of a sudden the mic just didnt work anymore
SAME
Me too, I don't know how to fix it and I need help.
this may be because of a blown out driver, you can contact blue microphones and see what they say
this is unquestionably one of the most useful tutorials I have ever found on UA-cam. I stumbled across it, and it addressed issues I did not realize I had with my blue yeti. Thank you so much.
2020 and this video still helped me out a ton, thank you!

LOVELY ANOTHER WINDOWS 10 BS PROBLEM mine is the damn audio monitoring thing...
My Yeti shows up in the devices list, and it's properly named and everything. But I can't get it to show up under Recording devices.

Yellow light blinks
Download sherpa.
Try to install sherpa.
Some stupid driver is missing and ugh.
How can I fix levels without using sherpa? I've done everything I can but the yellow blink won't stop without sherpa. I have the nano.

my problem is that when i try to use audacity it says the mic is connected and everything but when i try to start recording and it won’t pick any audio up
dude.... YOU single handedly saved my mic. I already ordered a new one! Well, time to return it I guess?
I could hear my blue yeti through the headphone slot I tried like everything it worked for 1 week
Try unplugging the headset and plug it back in. It worked for me.
Sir, Thank You very much for taking the time to do this! I've been struggling for 2 hours working with drivers and switching cables also uninstalling Windows updates trying to solve this problem. My Yeti wasn't even being recognized, changed the cable and now it gets recognized but it wasn't read as a Yeti mic but as a USB Advanced Mic, and I wasn't getting any sound/voice feedback by any means until I watched this video. SO AGAIN, THANKS A MILLIONS!!!
For people who can't even see the mic in their settings. Try using a different cable. The one that comes with the mic is garbage.
tried usb 2.0 and 3.0 my mic turns on the red light but nothing pops up on my pc what am i doing wrong?
IT's weird I have the same problem, it used to work, now it doesn't. They say the driver is corrupted
I purchased a Blue Yeti Blackout and i haven't been able to get it working. I've done everything, changed every setting. And it won't pick up any sound through the mic. The headphone jack works and i can listen to music through my computer but nothing goes into the mic. I've made it the default and still nothing. I am so unhappy I can't get it working, how can I fix this issue? I literally bought it 2 days ago
Hi Joel, that stinks. Did you review all the comments on this video? There are lots of tips from others and myself on things to try. For example - try a different USB port, different cable, try it on another computer to make sure it is not defective, etc...... If you exhaust all the tips in the comments and the video doesn't help, you might want to contact Blue support. They should get back to you pretty quickly.
yeah so my mic doesnt even show up it has a red light on the mute button i know its plugged in but no feedback whatsoever
OMG thank you for the Level tip, I was having that problem but had no idea how to fix it!
You're welcome, glad it helped!
i cant see it no matter what it does not work for games or anything the light turns on so the usb is working and i dont know what to do and i have only had the mic for 5 months!
@Piano Tipping Hey, Piano Tipping. Today, my blue yeti randomly stopped recording, and so I restarted the computer. When my computer was back on, the mic recorded, but only for like 20 seconds. I tried to disable my headphones-mic and enable/disable the blue yeti speaker under playback. I also tried going into both the blue yeti mic and speaker to enable and disable the "allow programs to take exclusive control of this device"-button. I've also tried to reinstall its driver. What keeps happening now is that if I move from Recording to Playback under Sound, there is some times a lag which hasn't been there before. And worse: The mic works for like 3-15 seconds and then turns off without any error message, code, sound or anything. I can then disable the mic (which takes a weird long time compared to other devices - about 2-3 seconds) and then enable it again, only to find that the same thing happens again. 3-15 seconds and it's off. What should I do?
were it said speakers and microphone, on my laptop it only say speakers there are not microphone.
um i know its an old video but for some reason when i go into the sound properteis thing the microphone volume thing doesnt evebn show up
I tried this out, and it still didn't work for me. My blue yeti has been showing up as speakers on my playback devices, and microphone on recording devices, but it's not shown by name, and I can't get it to work.
This video mentions that the mic doesn't appear by the correct name on Windows 10. If you are on Windows 10 that is normal. I'd recommend watching the whole video and reading through all the comments. There are lots of comments from different people with lots of ideas on how to fix problems with this mic. Hopefully one of them might help.
YOU ARE THE BEST UA-cam ON UA-cam GO TREAT YOURSELF TO SOME ICECREAM YOU WONDERFULL MAN
Try a SHORTER and/or NEW/DIFFERENT USB cable. Plug into a USB 2.0 (not 3.0) USB port.
How do you tell the difference?

2021 and your video is still relevant, perfect vid mate.
Thank you very very much! Anyways, why does it happens? My mic suddenly shows "usb advanced audio device" and not Blue Yeti anymore.... is some kind of hardware problem?
I cant even get it to detect my yeti like it wont even make the linked sound even tho it says its getting power from my pc
One tiny tiny problem. It doesn't show up on recording devices, I tried showing disabled devices but still nothing, please help
+xNqte_ Gaming I'm not sure what would cause that. Does it show up under "playback devices"?
You sir saved me a lot of trouble!!! no video or nowehere mentions there is a live monitor volume and mute setting on windows 10!!!
Awesome, glad I could help.
Ok so my yeti mic is on and everything but it does not show up in control panes
Mine isn't showing up at all, just getting the red power light
For some reason my blue yeti is very echoey. How can I fix it?
I watched this with no volume because my headset is plugged into my yeti..
Okay after the latest windows update my blue yeti stopped working when i go to recording devices and click on my blue yeti some windows dll crashes
if you know of a fix please tell me of it thank you
Hello Piano Tipping! Great video :)) But unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. I wanted to ask if you've encountered the issue that I'm struggling with right now - the headphone output from the Yeti monitors audio from the mic only on the left channel, but it's definitely not a hardware issue, cause all the other audio from my pc comes (through the very same headphone output) in stereo. Do you know what could be the reason? Cheers!
My microphone shows up as USB Advanced Audio Device. The mute button stopped glowing overnight and now when you try to record with it it makes a small pop noise (as if you tapped on the microphone) and then makes no noise at all. Could you help?
I'm not sure what would cause that. Did you try a new cable, or plugging it into a different USB port? Do you have another computer you could plug it into to make sure the mic itself does not have a problem?
Piano Tipping I tried a different cable, a different port, and a different computer
+HolySpitball If you get the same symptoms after those tests, it sounds like a hardware problem. The USB jacks on these are prone to failure. Inspect it carefully with a magnifying glass and make sure you don't have a bent or snapped off pin. See if the jack seems loose at all. You may need to repair the jack. I have another video on my channel for that. It's not for the faint of heart, and kinda tricky. If you are good at soldering it's possible. You may want to check with Blue support first.
Duuuuuuude Thank You So Much, I Fucking Love You!
Thank you
how do i f ix this: So i plug in my yeti. (Yes ive tried different cables made sure the right reocrding/playback devices were set) (yeti and yeti)(for monitoring and recording) it now detected it as an advanced recordign device. it wont let me monitor the audio? but i can still listen to things if i have my headphones plugged in the jack. ive had my yeti for around a year and ive never had this problem. is my mic busted? ive tried everything/ UPDATE: (like 2 mins later) i did the levels thing cuz im stupied and was too impatient to watch the whole video. thanks so much
the reason why your microphone is detected like that is because it is broken, it is a known issue and blue will replace your microphone, it is a very annoying thing that they acknowledge but still keep selling them... It happened to mine too, it stopped been detected as blue yeti and started to be detected as advance audio device, once this happens you have to make all the things this video tells you to do, configure EVERYTHING manually because the computer cannot tell anymore what did you plug in and will not understand how to configure all this automatically, so this video is VERY helpful.
Your microphone is broken, but it can be restored to fully working if you know how to set all these things manually, it is very annoying but you won't need to return it to guaranty if you live in a country were sending the microphone can cost you a lot...
OH BY THE WAY...NEVER unplug the microphone, every time you do that it will lose ALL configurations...this does not happen if the microphone is working correctly and detected as Blue Yeti right away.
I believe if the device is re-installed via unplugging or forced uninstall it will revert this setting back. So occasionally my mic will completely cut out or go robotic and I have to change USB ports, the side-affect of that is this issue which you've helped me identify, thanks!
About the microphone being too loud with the Windows mic volume turned all the way up; I think you forgot to turn down the gain on the mic. I have mine set to 1/4 and it works fine, with the Windows mic volume set at 100%.
+The Priest of UA-cam That's not the case. I show the knob settings at 7:57. While I did have it at around 10 o'clock, I tried different gain settings. Lowering the gain on the mic did not fix the problem for me. Lowering the volume in Windows did. It was distorted and too loud for me even with the gain set low.
Piano Tipping Come to think of it, I have distortion/loudness issues with Morphvox Pro and Manycam in Windows 10. I did some research and apparently there's loads of people who have had microphone distortion since upgrading/clean installing Windows 10.
honestly i wanna say mate you are a complete livesaver, i've been making youtube videos with scratchy and squeaky background audio but after the tip at 5:52 my mic sounds perfect. Thank you So Much:))
You're welcome!
My problem is delay in my voice through headphones ugh
OMG Thank you so much for this video!!!! I did not know what was wrong with my blue yeti at all and this video fixed it all! Thank you so much! Keep up the great vids!
Dude, thank you soo much, I love this... the perfect video I needed, I fixed every single problem I was looking for to fix, cant thank you enough again!
