Hey audio friends! Check out my new album, recorded in my home studio. It's not generic garbage, trust me. I think you'll like it: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cthreep/karma-harm

Now I need to learn how to BLADUBLATHUABLATUHABTHLABLE

I would have never guessed this would be so entertaining/funny and still extremely informative and helpful. Thanks for the vid!

Great video, really informative AND funny. Cheers.

10 years later and this is still as funny and very informative. much appreciated

Your trick to transfer the rubber grommets in place of the plastic washers to use on the thumb-tightener on the stand mount was a GREAT tip! Nothing to buy, just swap them from the desktop mount. Thanks.

this dude is hilarious! and his videos are informative and succinct! thanks man!

This video was so well made and informative It was posted quite awhile ago but I feel the need to say this Great job man

Thanks for the compliments! I'm a full time student at a university and writing a bunch of new music with my two bands, etc. etc. Life is busy but I enjoy making videos, I'll keep 'em coming!

Yay! That makes me happy, I'm glad you've found these videos to be helpful in saving you some money. I'll keep the videos coming.

In 2016 this is still relevant to a new KZfaqr. Thanks for the help! :)

Dang you guys are fast, I couldn't even add the links at the end before you watched it. Nice.

Thanks :) Glad you liked it.

Love the humility in the videos. Thanks for the content!

Thanks for the help, the tip with the washer/grommit things is excellent mate

Good question, I use Adobe Audition and LOVE it but it has a few limitations (like not metronome feature and no MIDI support, weird). I wish I could say I knew more about Sony Acid, but for $35 it's not such a bad deal for its capabilities.

Thank you very much! I was skeptical about buying that shock mount 'cause of all the reviews about it, but glad I know there's an easy fix!

The amendment made by Bluemic the original design of Radius Shockmount (now "Radius II Shockmunt") has solved the problem of attachment. They have achieved a high quality product, excellent performance and beautiful design.I recommend it!

Just wanted to share that I just about died laughing at your description of the shock mount hinge... oh my brings back awful memories.

Loved it. You're a funny dude and the Yeti rubber thingie switch is genius.

You're welcome! I thought it was worth mentioning, since that was my only gripe with the product.

Super helpful. It's been tough picking a good shock mount.

that test for vocals was hilarious😁😁😀😀🙆🙆

Dude the amount of editing you did to put up this video is off the hook! Good job :) Well presented

Excellent video. Thanks. Regarding the tightening of the "Blue" wing bolt. The Blue Yeti folks need to get on board and address this very serious issue with the mount.

I was REALLY looking forward to finding a video like this, even better having some images of the "wav", to see the clipping parts during the recording. Not sure if Im gonna spend the money right now, probably not, but nontheless your video was very enlightening ,thanks

when he was doing his amazing yelling scene, i swear i felt spit hit my arm

Brilliant video! Thanks! And I think they released a newer version of the Blue shock mount which addresses the floppy hinge.

Never knew taz could sing, bugs bunny will be so proud

I just bought it because it looks cool, glad I did now.

Thanks for the tip on those rubber rings.

Thanks for this video, man. You convinced me to purchase avshock mount which I've avoided for years

You are very welcome!

Haha this was the best review I found...and I looked at a lot of them! Thanks for the great review. This is going to help me out for my podcast.

Really useful, thanks for the handy hints as I bought the shock mount and adjustable arm just to use as a way to elevate the mic of my desktop surface and without knowing about the design flaw I'm sure I would have been returning it thinking it was faulty.

Excellent on all accounts. Thanks a lot for this review!

As always, another great video you have put together. I'm glad you are being so active. I was a little bit scared you left us because I wasn't seeing any new videos but I understand such fine videos can be quite time consuming to make. Glad to see you are cooking some new stuff up! I'll be patiently waiting! :D have a great day!

All of your videos are so helpful, I'm glad I found your channel! I've been thinking about getting the shock mount, and although I could hear the difference, I'm not sure I heard $70 worth of difference (for me personally). So so far you have saved me $100, $70 on the shock mount and $30 on a pop filter, as I now have my very own pantyhose and coat hanger version! Thanks for the videos and keep it up :)

If the mic is far away from you and you put the gain setting all the way up then yes, it will probably pick up the sound of your computer's fans. But if you position the mic closer to your mouth and put the gain setting lower you may not have to deal with all the extra noise :)

Bravo for the gasket tip alone. I had already owned this thing and I was very angry that it wouldnt stay put. Id also like to add another issue with this shock mount. By default you cannot attach the mic and get both the usb and headphone jack in because of the mic mount, but if you just take out the center piece and tune it 90 degrees everything works great.

Awesome video dude! My KZfaq channel isn't very big but I'm nerdy about getting good sound! Would never have thought about using one of these before, cheers dude!

amazing video loved the funky blah blah noises im suprised this vid hasnt got more views as its hillarious, i also like how simplisticly you have explained it i have the yeti and assumed i needed a shockmount but wasnt sure why? but you vid has explained it :)

Thanks for this review great info. Looking to get a shock mount & stand for my Blue Yeti.

Awesome Video man! Explained everything thoroughly

I have a extremely shaky desk, can’t wait to get my shock mount

super review. Thanks :D

This video really help. Thank you

those were some nice sound effects kekeke bit reminiscent of Taz from The Looney Tunes

Amazing demonstration!! Thanks for posting 👍🏾

Sure thang. I'm cooking up some new material as we speak.

Very informative and entertaining video with pros and cons and a very good solution to the con! Liked and Subscribed! It was just what I was looking for. 🤘😀🤘☘🇮🇪

You know, I think any recording software I run on my computer will have latency issues. I have always had to deal with it and have gotten used to it but I think those issues usually arise from having a cheap sound card. I have windows 7 and installed a free sound driver called ASIO and it helps a lot with latency, but yeah, I don't think it's usually a recording software thing. And I have version 5.5 of Audition but got it cheap because a bro-in-law of mine works there.

This was immensely helpful, and well produced! Thanks!

My god that part at the end cracked me up so much haha

fantastic video

On-Stage SB96+. I bought it used from someone who bought if from guitar center.

this was very informative as well as entertaining. Thanks for shedding some insight for us nonaudiophiles who know nothing lol. I've had 2 blue yeti's and they both broke, so i'm never getting one ever again, but i am going to get a shock mount for my next mic

I'll be posting another this week, stay tuned, Fist.

Good video, I'm doing some research on improving my Blue Yeti, so this helped a lot, thanks!

Thankfully they fixed the screw on the new version so it doesn't hang like it does in your test.

Sound track please to the " blablablubladoblabla " 🎙

The Yeti comes with a perfect desktop stand but that stand is not compatible with the shock mount, so if you mean what would be a good desktop mic stand for the Yeti WITH the shock mount I'd recommend the "On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand," it's only like $13 on amazon.com

Ahhh...it's an On-Stage SB96+. I bought it used from someone. Great stand.

Great job dude!

damn those vocal are fucking poetry young thugs is using your style bladelabladedemblo blademeblahhhdemblablahhhhj

I have had this shock mount for almost 2 years now initially the screw broke on the first one I sent it back and got another same thing happened I managed to get the broken part out went to the hardware store purchased a screw that fit now it never gets loose and doesn't snap in half(no I didn't use much force it was just cheap material)

so good,. thank you C3po

Dude that's nuts! That shouldn't be, no sir. Keep it real.

This vid is perfect. Thank you so much.

one day your probably gonna have 100,000,000 subs and MUCH MOAR

Are you saying that the bottom part of the Yeti that has the hole does not screw onto the the shockmount? It totally should. I see no reason why it shouldn't...good luck with it, man. Let me know if you get it figured out.

can't stop laughing right now...you made my food go down the wrong tube. thank you!

Wow Wow, your singing is good.

thnx for the info man, should help a lot

I found this helpful and I'm leaving a comment to let you know

Good video. Especially the ending, lol

I got a brand new Blue Yeti, which is the blackout edition.

1:46 When someone is roasting you and you do not know what to do

so in 10 minutes i learned how to make a shock mount with rubber bands and a plastic poip and i learned it is actually useful. oh how i love youtube some times

Right to the point while being entertaining! Fucking amazing review c:

Very informative, thank you.

thanks !!!! i bought the first version of the Rigner and right now because its new i don't have this issue where the shockmount loosen up but i'm sure that will happen sooner rather than later. i'll use the rubber band !

Great vid!

Wow i need a shock mount

Great video!

Thanks, Nachohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

when he sang, "BLAGALABLAAAGALABBBLLLAAAGHUGHBLABBABABBAA" I felt that.

Really good! :D

Dude, thanks for the laugh aaaaaand the info!

I'm glad it was understandable :)

Awesome video! I just bought a Yeti Mic, and was wondering about the shock mount... It would serve me right, but the price helped my decision! hahaha 45 pounds for it? Er.. Not now. Anyway, great video, dude!

On-Stage SB96+.

Anyone notice at 1:28 he's wearing his headphones backwards.

Enjoyed this! I've got a blue yeti on the way to record with my games but I am worried It is going to pick up my pc fan sounds and keyboard really badly.

Thank you for the review. He have a new one, so hopefully the screw will hold better. I am not trying to find a good Mic stand for it, preferred for desktop or desktop mount. I've looked at some arms, but it doesn't look like most will hold this heavier mic not to mention the mount. If you have any suggestions, I'm open.

2018?

It's by Blue.

Great video. I feel that the shockmount may be overkill for more casual recording, even if you podcast regularly. Its cool to see some practical application. Good work, dude. Is that song available for download? Haha

this video is legendary beacause of the epicness you put into it lol ahahah

If your serious about getting the expensive software I'd recommend Pro Tools. Every recording studio I've ever been to uses it. It has become the industry standard.
