So I just got the Blue Snowball mic (normal, not ICE) yesterday for recording with, and it's not sounding like I expected it to (out of the box anyway.)
Without any editing or changing of settings, it sounds like this:
soundcloud.com/jtpetch/blue-snowball-test
It was recorded in Audacity, and I have the mic about a foot away from my face, with a pop filter about 2-3 inches from the mic itself. I've tried a different cable out of curiosity, and no changes.
Is that what the Snowball is supposed to sound like? And how could I make it sound better? (Setting 1 sounds echo-y/distant to me, and setting 2 is too quiet)
Thanks for the help!
