Finally, once the grip tape is properly applied, use a sharp hobby knife or scissors to trim any excess grip tape from around the edges of your mouse. When we previously tested mics with both male and female speakers, the Yeti ranked well for both lower and higher vocal registers; it was the top choice for most of our panelists when it came to recording voices in the higher register, and it landed in everyone’s top three for the lower register. If you want to plug a microphone into your computer and sound clear and engaging right away, whether you’re recorded or live, we recommend the Blue Yeti. The mic head has a ¼-inch thread, which is standard for camera tripods, but it also comes with an adapter so that you can screw it into a more typical ⅝-inch microphone mount.

Designed to deliver crystal-clear, professional-sounding audio direct to a computer or tablet, it’s the perfect microphone for gamers, podcasters, musicians, streamers, business professionals and content creators who want to be heard in full definition. Directional cardioid polar pattern, optimised to reduce room sound and focus on the subject, be it dialogue, vocals or instruments. But after over a year of long-term testing the previous version, we’ve found that the microphone is still in good shape and perfectly reliable. High-quality condenser capsule that delivers warmth and presence for a clear, professional sound in all recording applications. Whether you’re recording from a professional studio or your mancave, the Samson 29/C01UPRO will deliver professional sound.

To keep the mic brands and models concealed, we labeled each audio sample with a letter corresponding to a specific mic. In our latest brand-concealed, sample-based test with five panelists, including a professional audio engineer, all five experts ranked the Yeti’s recordings at or near the top because it produced clear, rich-sounding recordings and preserved our speaker’s natural vocal warmth. You can use it directly in a USB port or grab one of our USB extension cables to give you a bit more flexibility on placement. Simply set its volume level via the streaming or voice chat software you're using, and let your voice do the rest.

It’s small size makes it perfect for situations where you don’t want to draw attention to the fact that you are recording audio right into your computer. They looked for factors such as how crisp the consonants sounded, how much background or room noise the mics picked up, and how well each mic captured the vocal tone. Be careful when using the hairdryer too, as you want to avoid overheating the mouse, which can cause damage to your mouse (plastic melting or warping) and also cause injury to yourself, so proceed with caution. As for the sound quality being recorded, it is crystal clear with decent base and sounds much better compared with the mic embedded in the cell phone(Galaxy 10).The new model we tested is nearly identical to the one we loved the last time we updated this guide (shown in the photo above), except it now has important features that were previously missing, namely a headphone jack, headphone volume control, and gain control. Before applying the grip tape, it is essential to clean your mouse to remove any dirt or oils that may interfere with the grip tape's adhesion. But if, like me, you want it for singing it can be easily hand-held (although not obviously designed for this purpose) or fitted to a standard microphone stand with the adaptor as supplied. And since it also features a volume knob, you can easily adjust the volume so you don’t have to stress too much about focusing your vocals.

The NT-USB Mini brings pristine sound quality that RØDE’s is known for, to a compact easy-to-use USB platform. In your recording software, you have the other parts of the song - drums, guitar, bass and so on; you have created a track for the vocal and assigned the NT-USB Mini to this track to record.I am expecting this Rode mini to be more compatible with the latest iPhone or iPad in terms of the sound back to our ears with the 3. Fitted with a back electret condenser capsule for clear voice pickup and activated by an illuminated live/mute button on top. Once you’ve finished recording, don’t forget to unmute your vocal channel so you can listen to your song with the vocal track you just recorded in the mix.
