I've got a Blue Yeti too, it's a good mic.
For next time, if you're ever in the market again.... Here's a mega-review of ju
st about every USB/XLR Microphone by Marco Arment.
https://marco.org/podcasting-microphones
Here's what he has to say about the Blue Yeti:
"The Yeti has been recommended for years as an inexpensive starter mic. Getting
good sound out of it takes some work and additional gear: it needs a strong pop
filter, it picks up a lot of room echo, and its included desk stand keeps the mi
c too far away for good sound. But its a great value, and under ideal circumstan
ces -- close-up use in a silent, soft room with a pop filter -- it can yield exc
ellent sound quality. (The Yeti has selectable pickup patterns. These were using
the cardioid setting, which both Blue and I recommend for podcasting.)"
