So I have a Scarlet 2i2 and a Behringer C-1 that I purchased a few years ago, they've been sitting in the closet and are in great shape still and I'm trying to use it for recording voiceover for gameplay on Twitch streams (and hopefully later voiceover work for other videos). But somehow these guys just aren't agreeing with my setup. I test out the audio on Skype with friends beforehand and, according to them, sometimes my voice sounds super distorted, sometimes I sound far away, sometimes it sounds like a wind tunnel and super loud, and sometimes my volume is super low.
Here's where it gets weird. When I started this, I didn't have a mic stand. I would sit the mic straight flat on my desk, and it would sound perfectly fine. But the weirdness started when I got a mic stand, specifically a NEEWER Microphone Suspension Boom Scissor Arm Stand. I tried plugging the Scarlet into a different USB port, I tried adjusting everything, according to Open Broadcaster it's fine.
I got to the end of my rope and decided to research the equipment and it turns out Behringers aren't that good of a brand? At least from browsing this forum, either you love them or hate them. So I guess that's my main question. Is this something that can be easily fixed for the Behringer? Or should I just swap out for another mic like a Shure SM58 or a Audio-Technica AT2020? Also, if it's important, I use a duel boot hackintosh Yosemite (where my Adobe programs are) and Windows 8.
