CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS WOOPS MY BAD:
(2:35) Probably the biggest issue is that I claimed, “In the case of USB microphones, it’s the embedded sound-card of the motherboard that handles the converting”. This isn’t correct; the analog to digital conversion takes place within the USB microphone itself. However, the same principal still applies. The analog to digital conversion of the soundcard embedded in the microphone pales in comparison to the analog to digital conversion of a dedicated, standalone device (the interface.)
(4:26) I say that, “You’ll go nowhere as a creator or artist as long as you’re using one”. In saying this, I was referring to growth in quality as a creator as opposed to growth in channel size. You can absolutely produce good quality videos / streams without XLR equipment, however I want to push fellow creators for “great” as opposed to “good enough”. In hindsight, I should’ve phrased this differently to make it clearer.
(6:25) Not all interfaces are USB, the two other most common types are firewire and thunderbolt respectively. There are also some big boys that require their very own unique PCI slot in the motherboard. All the interfaces I show in this video are USB because they’re by far the most common, however there are plenty of great firewire / thunderbolt interfaces out there as well. Just make sure you have the correct ports on your motherboard before springing to buy one.
(6:45) This one is honestly just a misspeak. I accidentally say “quieter mics like *condensers* and ribbons” instead of “quieter mics like *dynamics* and ribbons”. I still strongly recommenced preamps for condensers, though.
(7:07) Not all interfaces with sufficient embedded preamps cost $7,000+ with $3,100 mics, that was more of an exaggeration for comedic effect than anything.
(7:26) I don’t think anyone was seriously holding this against me, but I accidentally mixed up the images of the interface and preamp in this section. Just a silly editing error I felt I might as well point out.
======================================================
Today we tackle the most infamous part of the audio world: The Blue Yeti. It’s very bad. If you know someone who uses a Yeti / USB microphone, you NEED to send them this video.
This is by F A R the most work I’ve ever put into a video. Literal weeks worth of work went into writing the script and editing everything, so that’s why uploads have been slow. Now that my magnum opus is complete, expect more content to come out regularly.

why are people hating so much?
i seriously wanna know
24 thousand sore losers who are just butt hurt that their stupid stereotypical microphone was just proved that is sucks with facts
I also highly recommend twatting about with the levels and EQ of the audio in post. It really adds a warmth and glow to anything that you are producing, in my case music. There are plenty of online tutorials that will show you how to do this but my assumption is that everyone looking at this is going for a vocal route so you would really want to mess around mid frequencies and do away with the higher and lower end stuff. Compression can also help massively make your audio sound decent and mastering is a must if you have more than one track going at once. Messing with this kind of stuff in post can really make whatever it is you are creating glow and really helps if, like myself, you cannot currently afford a pre amp. It will keep you going until you can afford one. I hope this also helps anyone who may be passing through comments of this video. Also top job I couldn’t agree more Blue Yeti can eat my entire ass everyone needs a decent set up
Hey dude, do you know dashiegames? He uses a blue yeti and he sound good.
The blue yeti is for starters no one is gonna pay close to $500 for slightly better audio
Shut the fuck up Cade
its a big prob because look at my profile Picture
you talk about quality and youre using a scarlett. lol
WOW, did you know his mic cost 400$, his audio interface costs 200$ , and the cloudlifter CL-1 cost 150$?
you are comparing a 750$ setup against a 115$ mic……..
Not everyone can afford a “real audio set up”
This is exacl’ what I’m talking about! Up men!
Yeah lol too bad the shure is $400
nice vid and all but… i feel like you’re over exaggerating too much
This is more depressing than leafys socialblade
Well, i got a blue yeti when i was around 11, and i’ve used it ever since. But i’m glad you made this video so now i know how to get better quality and the reason why i didn’t have good quality before. Great educational video, that’ll help me quite a bit.
Blue yeti does sound different to the snowball and has more options on the mic
$500 setup sounds better than $100 setup. Who could have guessed?
Not only break out your pen and paper but also your wallet, not everyone has the money to go that route man, and quality costs.

15 k likes and 24k dislikes bahhahahhha fuck off mate
Hmmm…. This explains why your channels so small…. Why am I wasting my time giving this dude veiws
yeah sure but I don’t have the money…. I could buy a non USB mic but I can’t afford an interface or preamp
Bro it sounded the same
Not everyone’s a rich boy mate
1:31 actually your setup sounds fuzzy and muffled and the yeti while introducing some kind of anomaly still sounds pretty crisp and clear.
