Studio & Home Studio

Upgrade home studio recording
I have used various mics but none compare with the multi-use capabilities of The Blue Yeti Pro.
The first microphone that captures 24-bit/192kHz digital recordings on your desktop, and connects to professional recording equipment in the studio. Featuring three custom condenser capsules and four different pattern settings, Yeti Pro delivers detailed audio that’s more than four times higher resolution than a CD—during any recording scenario.

It can be used for any type of music recording, vocals or instrumentals, podcasts or voiceovers.CARDIOID
Perfect for professional podcasts, voice-overs, lead vocal tracking, and instruments. Cardioid mode records sound from directly in front of the microphone, resulting in rich, full-bodied sound.

STEREO
Captures a rich stereo field for acoustic guitar, piano, percussion, or singer/songwriter duo, or multiple instruments at the same time.
Omni-directional
A great all-around mic pattern—literally. For when you need to record 360 degrees around the mic. Great for capturing vocal groups, bands or multiple participants in a single-mic podcast.
Bi-directional
The only mic pattern that always has your back… and your front. By recording sound from two distinct positions—the front and back of the capsule—this pattern is perfect for vocal duets or interviews.

BEST of All, You can control all of these settings simply from turning a dial on the mic. On the mic Headphone connection and volume control with ZERO Latency.

If there is a downside, I would say that it is extremely sensitive so be careful of the settings you choose, microphone placement and distance from the mic while singing or speaking.

I used this mic to record vocals and it initially gave a nice quality sound that was warm and clear. After a few months of using the mic, it started making a crackling and static sound that would come and go intermittently. I thought it might have been the cable so I purchased a high quality cable but the problem continued. I have had to do recordings with hopes that the static sound would not return while singing was occurring. I have had to redo vocal tracks due to the static sound manifesting during a recording and now the mic does not work at all.
It's unfortunate that a mic with such an excellent build quality that initially generated a top notch sound no longer works. Lastly, this mic was in a stable environment (home studio) and handled with care.

Here are some successful recordings that I did with the mic before it stopped working (all vocals were done using this mic). https://youtu.be/sXZAlQADiOk

The Sony C 35 P is a microphone from Sony´s golden aera. It is a cardiod, small diaphragm, top adress microphone and needs 48v phantompower.The sound is somewhere between a Neumann Km 84 i and a Shoeps Colette. There´s a side adress version,the Sony C 36 P with the same capsule and soundwise very similar.These microphones are excellent for
room, piano, overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar... and a lot of other stuff.
