So before the New Year, as a b-day gift to myself, I decided to purchase a mic after giving it some thought and discussing it with my friend DJ Rhythmics.

So we both decided that we should purchase the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone from Blue Microphones. Needless to say, after hearing many tests done with it, we were impressed.

So I got this bad boy in the mail Monday, sitting outside in the sub-freezing temperatures in a box left by UPS. (Don’t get me started about UPS. I paid for 2-day air and it took over 6 days. Good going, there…) I took it out of the box and it was ICE COLD. The first thought that came across my head was “Damn, this thing really is a Yeti.”

Needless to say, this b**** is HUGE! As for the sound quality: despite me having a slight head cold and no pop filter, I uploaded a vocal test on my tumblr, here. I was a bit off in my pitch, but overall audio quality wise, all of my friends were hella impressed. I definately can not wait to start using this to record demos and produce vocals with this amazing piece of equipment.

So stay tuned and be on the look-out of things to come! :D
