Blue Yeti Pro (USB mode) Review

This Blue Yeti Pro served me decent for its purposes. (vocals). I must say that it was of decent quality while it was my only accessible mic. However, as soon as I found out what a mic was supposed to sound like, the opinion changed.

So Basically:
What's good about it?
-It has almost professional (yes, professional) quality in the lower notes (note that I'm a male)

-Adjustable input gain (which really isnt saying much)

-No need for a pop filter

-Direct monitoring (however crappy that was)

-Good use for recording instruments (trumpet)
-----------------------------------------------------
What's unsatisfactory/bad about it?

-Design (although that's subjective)

-Sound quality with higher end-> felt all squished and stuffed, mostly because
of the volume problem mentioned below

-Hard to use for actual recording vocals: The volume control is just too hard.
You cant hear a belter while still maintaining the audible quiet notes.
It clips for loud, and becomes extremely quiet for lower-level. Can't
explain it much, but it's difficult.

-It has a nasally (?) quality (but it's very slight, and shows mostly with head voice)

-It's a USB mic

-It's kind of overpriced for it's performance



-----------------------------


Conclusion: Although it didn't serve well as a vocal mic, it's still the top end for USB mics. Also, podcasting/talking through it should actually sound very nice (due to lower sounds sounding nice, as mentioned)

Hopefully, when I later plug it in for XLR use, it will prove to have good quality sound.

---------------------------------
Edit: I'm editting sound quality because after all this time, I managed to find the special settings of the Yeti Pro that came with driver installation in the sound mapping setting that I wouldn't have found if it weren't for my computer popping it up for some reason. It makes it vastly better, but still a 7.
