I appreciate you showing us everything, all the bits and steps to get it set up. A lot of videos show the parts and then skip straight to doing sound tests after putting it together off screen. It's very helpful to someone like me!
I have to tell you, after watching your video and doing some research, I'm getting that mic (with a pop filter). I've never owned a nice studio-style mic before, but the way you tested it was reassuring, and everything you did form taking it out of the box and assembling it was also exceptionally helpful. Many thanks for making this video my friend.
I might have to check this out - I get really bad background PC noise when I'm doing Lumion tutorials because the PC fans spin up and my PC is on my desk - maybe one of the pattern selections would help reduce the background noise. Thanks Joseph! :)
Thank you, Justin! Don't you have Blue Snowball which also has cardioid pattern? You might wanna try speaking to the mic closer, lowing the gain and move the PC under the desk :P
I’m picking this up soon, and this makes me even MORE hyped. I have a mic and arm mount now, but both came together in a bundle, and are pretty budget. Now this? This is going to be SICK
Thanks. I bought this kit and saved over 100 bucks to buy all three items separately. Sure it made my old mic collecting dust but this mic is better anyway.
hey man! i know ur a small channel but your the only one who made a video that one maintained my attention throughout the entire thing but you also gave me the exact details i needed thank you man keep it up!!!!
Thanks, Joseph. You gave one hell of a unpack and review within this video. It helped me set up my yeticaster easily and without issues. Keep up the good work, and be blessed.
Lol, I love the classic RUclipsr approach and can just imagine the UPS man watching him walk outside take out his phone and crouch in front of his newly delivered boxes, and just like starts filming as the UPS guy drives away. And then walks back outside to grab his camera 😂 Great Vid by the way.
Great video! Im looking into getting a mic for my PC I built last year. Do you know if there is really any difference between the yeticaster and the yeti? They look the same to me other then 1 comes with a stand lol
I have been thinking for ages about this microphone to use with my gaming, there was bad things said about it too but by the look of your video it sounds really good to me! Thank you for your video, it helps us to choose whether to actually get it or not! 😊
Thanks for showing everything but this product is not available in Amazon specifically German Blue microphone is available but arm that model no longer there i don’t see
I'm shopping for my boyfriend so I'm a little clueless about tech stuff... do you have to plug headphones into the microphone to be able to hear yourself? His headphones are wireless but I imagine there is a cord that came with them?
I bought Yeti caster bundle for my son today,165 bucks on black friday in Sweden...I hope i dont have to hear my son complain about bad sound when he plays with his friends 😃 ...Every headset he had always sound like crap after a while ...Tried a cheap microphone with a stand last year...A couple of months and it cuts sound and sounds bad
Yes the tension in the arm is tricky. I advise not to extend the arm too much. For headphones, I have been using Logitech headphones or cheap Amazon brand ones.
Im pretty sure the headset is the g430, there pretty old and my cable broke but that could just be me Edit: it works the braided blue sleeve was what ripped overall there good cheap headphones
I just bought mine after looking at your review, but I'm strugguling to have the same quality as your test. Did you use any mixer or was it only the mic ? Thanks for your help 🔵⚪🔴
What are your thoughts after you have owned this for a few months? I am about to order one, but I have been exceptionally nervous about the boom and how well it will holdup and move over time.
@Eric Marceau I moved on to the different mic atm. It is true that the mic is quite heavy. It does the job, but there are other alternatives out there.
@@JosephKim Yes, visually checking peeks in real-time. I use Sound Record and I have no way of knowing if gain or volume needs adjustment for any reason.
I'm shocked at how well the audio is. I've had one for about 5 years and I don't think mine sounds like that. You didn't do any filters in obs? Mine sounds closer to the 4 ft away even though I keep it 1-2ft. not too mention hyper sensitive to sounds. But something I found out recently is you go into sound settings and turn down the microphone volume, which in turn makes it so you can turn the gain up/down with it being way less sensitive.
For optimal sound quality, stay close to the microphone, ideally about one foot away, and ensure it’s set to cardioid. Remember to speak into the front of the mic rather than directly on top of it. All of this demonstrated in this video. Great mic, great sound, great video.
This might be a dumb question but I’m buying a USB port so I can use this mic on my other set up and plug in the port in the wall , what usb does this have what type? , and do I have to use any software for this mic or just plug and use? Thank you💜
How do you deal with the arms tension at the top. I hear that from many users they have problems properly adjusting it even for 30 minutes straight. Loosening, tightening the tension so that the upper arm would stay in a specific spot without it automatically moving on it's own.

I've had a Blue Yeti for 3-years now. Awesome mic. No Eq'ing needed.
Nice!
Finally found a place that has this in stock. Been looking since covid.
I suppose everyone is looking to update their video and audio!
I just got mine today. I’m putting it together rn

Ordering the bundle after watching this great review. Thanks!
Thank you!
I have a Blue Snowball and Im thinking of upgrading and getting the Yeticaster. This video helped with my decision making, so thank you!
Oh, thank you for watching!
sound quality is super clean definitely happy I picked one up!
Nice!
A brilliant microphone especially for the price. Probably the best sounding video reviewing this microphone. Great job.
Thanks!
Getting the same exact one as you for Xmas super excited thanks for the great review!
And thanks for watching!

Haha thank you. Don't worry, no UPS driver was harmed in the process. I got it in the house, came out next day to film it ;)
@@JosephKim LOL, yep gotta protect those UPS drivers. :)
Great Video, by the way, I really enjoyed it.
This was just the video I needed helpfull and good information + sound test. Im Definitely gonna get this bundle.
Cool!
Thanks for the tutorial . I'm using blue yeti and wanted to buy the boom arm . This is big help for me.
I'm glad to help!
I'm happy with the blue yeti I got one for my asmr
Nice!
Great video! Im looking into getting a mic for my PC I built last year. Do you know if there is really any difference between the yeticaster and the yeti? They look the same to me other then 1 comes with a stand lol
no, the mic is the same. one is with the arm, and one is not!
That is a GREAT mic... it sounds INCREDIBLE. Congratulations on your purchase... as the old knight once said... "You chose wisely."
Thank you!
It was a fantastic video; it helped me to set the mic up quickly as you went through all the steps and bits.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this I’m getting one for Christmas and I can’t wait! Great vid keep it up! I dropped a sub
Awesome! Thank you!
Dank je wel voor je heldere uitleg! Duimpje voor jou groetjes uit Nederland thanks for your video.
Thanks!
So I’m kind of jealous about how good the microphone boom arm looks rather than mine that have exposed springs and no cable race way.
I kinda do like the industrial look. :)
I have been thinking for ages about this microphone to use with my gaming, there was bad things said about it too but by the look of your video it sounds really good to me!
Thank you for your video, it helps us to choose whether to actually get it or not! 😊
Haha, nice! I'm glad to gelp
It use the old style small usb because the original Blue yetty mic from over 10 years ago had that and they dont want to make new mics incompatible.
I understand it was like that before, but what is it trying to be compatible with?
Wow I'm very impressed. Also very nice review, thanks.
Thank you!
Was your shock mount threaded? Mine has no thread, I'm thinking factory defect.
It is not threaded. You should have had a bolt. It's between the foam, you have to look carefully.
1000 like. loved the vid, definitely buying this tomorrow.
Nice!
microphone testing 123... 123... THANKS :)!
My pleasure!
Thank you for the great video! :) Very helpful review.
Thank you!
@@JosephKim No problem!
Brilliant video thanks so much for showing how to set everything up. Great test and comparison.
Thank you! :)
Thank you so much the mic I use is terrible it literally sounds like I have a fan as a mic. I’m gonna get this tysm
Make sure you don't have the gain all the way up. Also the volume on your system.
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING thank you i was thinking about buying one and i think i will get it.
Thanks for watching!
Joseph: starts using blue yeti
Echo: brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lol
This is an AMAZING Review! Thank you for your advice! I will purchase ASAP!
Lol, thank you.
This Mic sounds really good, I like it :) Nice review
Thank you!
Great vibe in this video. Thanks, great review
Thanks for watching!
Amazing microphone for such a cheap price compared to other microphones like this, I might have to get it. Thanks so much for this video :)
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing everything but this product is not available in Amazon specifically German Blue microphone is available but arm that model no longer there i don’t see
I see it available in USA. I suppose it may be a temporary issue?
@@JosephKim thanks for replying i think ok
Hi, Joseph Kim.
Can I know the length of Yeti Caster usb?The basic Yeti usb length is 2m, but I was wondering if there was a difference!
I think it was 2m as well.
Thanks for the video. You didn't go over the base that the arm sits in. Is it heavy or do I need to clamp it on to something?
You do need to clamp it to your desk!
Thanks for the solid and in-depth review. Looks like I'll be picking one of these up this weekend 👍
Nice!
Just bought one for my $4000 PC setup can't wait to try it out!
That's lots of budget!
@@JosephKim Yeah I'm really excited 👌🏻
@@NorwegianCollector_ no need to flex lol
@@edgardo1090 Jealous 🤣🤣

This is a helpful and very well made video! You also have pleasant voice.
Haha, thank you so much!
It has been used several times and loved.
Nice!
The Blue Yeti is insane 😍
best review of this microphone 💪🏾💪🏾
Thank you!
What setting do you have the "Pattern" on? I'm not sure really the difference.
Cardioid setting.
keep it only on cardioid
Great vid, thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this review 😊☺️. I love how you explained it so clearly!!
Thank you!
just got this for my birthday so im excited for it to come
Happy Birthday!
@@JosephKim thanks
I'm shopping for my boyfriend so I'm a little clueless about tech stuff... do you have to plug headphones into the microphone to be able to hear yourself? His headphones are wireless but I imagine there is a cord that came with them?
No cord was included for the headphones if my memory serves me correctly. It is the normal 3.5mm headphone jack.
I haven't had a Blue Yeti before the same thing as karaoke.
Loved the snare drum stand on the right! 😋
Glad you noticed! :) (trying to be resourceful)
@@JosephKim I'm the first to notice it? :o
@@DavidAlvesWeb someone had pointed out in a different video before :)
@@JosephKim had to be a drummer as well! 😅

Haha, I hope it does the trick for you!
Thank you for the video. I'm having trouble with the tension in the arm. What headphones do you use?
Yes the tension in the arm is tricky. I advise not to extend the arm too much. For headphones, I have been using Logitech headphones or cheap Amazon brand ones.
Im pretty sure the headset is the g430, there pretty old and my cable broke but that could just be me
Edit: it works the braided blue sleeve was what ripped overall there good cheap headphones
It is a fine headset that I bought to be on budget :)
Great review man! I think I’m gonna buy one!
Awesome!
'Microphine Testing 1, 2, free, 1, 2, free'
Thanks for the review!
Haha, no probs!
I just bought mine after looking at your review, but I'm strugguling to have the same quality as your test.
Did you use any mixer or was it only the mic ? Thanks for your help 🔵⚪🔴
No mixer, just straight into my computer via USB. Recording with OBS without any filter. Try speaking up close to it.
@@JosephKim Thanks. I tried on OBS, and it sounds better than on Streamlabs. Thanks for your help :)
Really good result. Much better than camera one. I am wondering is there any post processing applied?
Nope! Just gain boost.
@@JosephKim what gain level do you have when you are close to the mic?
I don't remember, but it wasn't much.
solid video brother! thank you.
Thank you!
What are your thoughts after you have owned this for a few months? I am about to order one, but I have been exceptionally nervous about the boom and how well it will holdup and move over time.
I like it. I've been using it with all of my videos since! I advise not to extend the arm too much as it can droop.
@Eric Marceau I moved on to the different mic atm. It is true that the mic is quite heavy. It does the job, but there are other alternatives out there.
Is there a monitoring system on my PC that allows me to check gain without earphones?
Like visually? I use OBS.
@@JosephKim Yes, visually checking peeks in real-time. I use Sound Record and I have no way of knowing if gain or volume needs adjustment for any reason.
Great review! Thank you
Thank you!
Sounds amazing
Yep!
Nice review! Did you find that you have to use a pop filter?
I don't speak close enough to the mic where I need a pop filter. But, I added one just in case :)
this video has convinced me to buy one
:)
@@JosephKim I bought one
Thank you so much for the review now I’m thinking about getting one
:)
DONT DO THAT BUY ELGATO WAVELINK. THE BLUE YETI IS GARBAGE COMPARED TO IT.
Friend what gain u had it set high or low on 6:22 sounds real good.
I don't recall the exact amount as it's been awhile. But I generally try to have it at 50% when starting and adjust from there.
Is the pop filter bought seperately?
Yeah, I had one from my previous mic.
hey! how do you flip the audio? you know, for the audio to come out on the left channel when you go left and vice versa when you do binaural
Usually the video editing software will allow you to control that.
@@JosephKim thank you, i appreciate it
Thinking about getting this! Only pne thing. Over half of the reviews said that the arm went flying all the time, is there a reason for this?
Yeah. TBH, the arm was not designed well. I'd say it works about 30% of cases.
Was there any post processing done on the audio?
No, just gain change.
Sir, what kind of desk is that? Thanks
You can find out in my studio setup videos!
Your setup is so clean
Thank you :)
I'm shocked at how well the audio is. I've had one for about 5 years and I don't think mine sounds like that. You didn't do any filters in obs? Mine sounds closer to the 4 ft away even though I keep it 1-2ft. not too mention hyper sensitive to sounds.
But something I found out recently is you go into sound settings and turn down the microphone volume, which in turn makes it so you can turn the gain up/down with it being way less sensitive.
No, no filter at all. I also am always struggling with sound too. I never know what I am going to sound like.
@@JosephKim yeah you have a good voice from the 1ft away test. I'm starting to get into obs filters since I've had bad experiences with voice meter
For optimal sound quality, stay close to the microphone, ideally about one foot away, and ensure it’s set to cardioid. Remember to speak into the front of the mic rather than directly on top of it. All of this demonstrated in this video. Great mic, great sound, great video.
You got a manual???? Nothing here. I am thankfull for your video
Nah, just figure out as you go :)
Do you need some sort of audio interface for this mic or just plug-in play straight to the pc?
Plug and play for your machine!
thx mate!
What mode is best for ASMR?
I'd say depending how the sound is traveling. Omni to get as much sound all around?
@@JosephKim thank you !!!
really good unboxing and very well done
Thank you!
does it work for xbox?
I do not know. Sorry. I have not tested.
does the yeticaster work on ps4
Not sure, as I don't own a console.
how is the sound pickup? could u hear me smashing my keyboard or is it good at killing background noises?
Every sound will be picked up. :)
@@JosephKim oh.. Okey, thought at this price it would be good at Noice cancellation
This might be a dumb question but I’m buying a USB port so I can use this mic on my other set up and plug in the port in the wall , what usb does this have what type? , and do I have to use any software for this mic or just plug and use? Thank you💜
It is mini USB, but that port needs to connect to your devices, not to the wall
Would this work on the Ps4 with the Astro Mix amp?
No idea!
How big is the clamp? Because my desk is a little big
It can be mounted a bit more than 2" thickness.
Just asking what pop filter works for this
I've got the one from Amazon which is like a foam cap.
@@JosephKim thanks
Does the part where the mic clamps to the boom arm rotate up and down so the mic isn’t hanging?
It just depends on how you thread the screw.
How do you deal with the arms tension at the top. I hear that from many users they have problems properly adjusting it even for 30 minutes straight. Loosening, tightening the tension so that the upper arm would stay in a specific spot without it automatically moving on it's own.
I had exact same problem. Basically had to adjust the mounting spot/my sitting position to make it work. Eventually move onto different arm though :)
What camera did you use to record?
Canon M50!
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching!
Hello do u know how to get off the yellow piece once you attach it? I had to get a new shockmount and I can't get it off.
I just used a pair of plier and turned gently.
@@JosephKim gotcha ill try that.
Hello, can the arm hold the blue yeti sideways ? Or does it have to be in that position, coming down hanging over like that?
It can hold it sideways. But the arms has somewhat finicky resistance system that only holds on certain positions.
@@JosephKim thank you!
What speaker are u using? (in front of your keyboard)
It was a small speaker bar from Amazon I believe. Now I use a small stereo from Logi.
