Hi all,
I am a game play commentator and I recently bought a Blue Yeti for recording my commentaries. I started with the levels at 100% in windows 7 and the gain on the yeti at 50% and then placed the yeti a few feet away on the desk and began recording. Once finished I played it back and it sounded nice and loud, however whenever I raised my voice it would clip the sound into the red on audition and sound sort of distorted, like a mini crackle. However if I turn the gain down the recording doesn't clip as I have tested it before starting in auction to make sure I can raise my voice however the recording is much lower and will require gain to be added afterwards. What can I do to avoid these problems this is the first proper mic I have used, it has just been headsets before.
Thanks for any advice
