The Blue Yeti USB Microphone is an industry-favorite. A lot of streamers and YouTubers use Blue Yeti because it offers some really great sounding audio, and doesn’t cost a ton. It also works really well with both PC and Mac. So no matter what type of computer you use, you’ll be able to use this microphone. It produces clear, powerful, broadcast-quality sound for YouTube, game streaming, podcasting, Zoom calls, and music. Craft the perfect broadcast vocal sound and entertain your audience with enhanced effects, advanced modulation, and HD audio samples. Flexible cardioid, Omni, bidirectional, and stereo pickup patterns allow you to record in ways that would normally require multiple mics. Monitor your voice in real time mixed with the sound from your computer to make sure your streams sound great. Instantly start recording and streaming on Mac or PC. No installation of any software is needed. You just need to be able to record the audio, so you’ll need something like Audacity (which is free). Four distinct pickup patterns allow you to record and stream in ways that would normally require multiple microphones. Perfect for podcasting, game streaming, YouTube productions, Skype calls, vocals and instruments, cardioid mode captures sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone. Omnidirectional mode picks up sound all around the microphone. Great for conference calls and captures the feeling of “being there.” Bidirectional mode picks up sound from both the front and rear of the microphone, but not the sides. Ideal for two-person podcasts.
