I can record to the PS4 but it doesn't sound good that way because of the way it's first set-up. If you could get to the options and fix it that mic would be awesome with the PS4. I wouldn't buy one for the PS4. I had a Samsung mic that i used for the PS4 but i can't remember the name. It has a headphone jack in the back of the mic so you can set it up right in front of you and hear the game and yourself as well through it. It's a bit bassy though but it's not too bad. I wish I remembered the name of it.

I'm sorry if someone said this already but I didn't wanna read every single page XD im lazy. Anyways I have a blue snowball right now and I'm looking to upgrade. What im looking for is a quality mic that can pic up my voice without me having to be right next to it. For instance when I wanna do live come or eventually live streams later on. (I'm planning on getting a boom arm and shock mount eventually too) so is the best option for me in this regard with what I want to get the YetI?

No, the Yeti is a condenser mic so you need to be as close as possible to prevent background noise from being picked up too much. If you're going for the Yeti, I would recommended a boom stand instead of the arms since arms have to be mounted to a desk, the stands can be moved around wherever you want pretty much, just make sure you get a decent 1 that can hold the added weight of a shock mount + mic.
An extensive list of microphones used by YouTubers.
If you're looking a microphone to purchase for your channel you've come to the right place, this list of microphones features an image of the respective microphone, a description in my own words of the microphone and a link to its main page and Amazon page.
This list is no particular order, XLR mics require interfaces, keep that in mind.
Most used mic among small YouTuber's, it's a sphere shaped that well, looks like a snowball, at least the textured white version does, it features 3 Patterns for variety of use, has great quality, and is reasonably priced, it also comes with a nice length USB Cable and a height adjustable tripod stand, it uses a 5/8" thread, it also comes in a variety of colors.
The Blue Yet is a mic from the same manufacturers of the Blue Snowball, the mic part itself is a cylinder with it curving at the top where the mic's grill is, the mic features quality a step up from the snowball, the mic has 4 Pattern Settings which you can find on the amazon and main page, it has a volume control for the Headphone monitoring and a gain control, this have been reported to be flimsy by function fine. The mic also features as you guessed Headphone monitoring and a mute button on the mic itself. The mic comes in 3 Colors which you can see on the Amazon page.
This mic is slowly taking over the Snowball as a popular mic for YouTubers, the mic is very sleek in design and has a blue led indicator, you'll expect to find a USB Cable and a tripod stand as illustrated in the image above (I'm not sure if this comes with a pouch, that could be the XLR version), the mic is black all over and has great quality. There is also an XLR version.
This mic is another awesome used by users on this forums and by some of my friends. It's an awesome mic, looking similar to the AT-2020, has build in HeadPhone monitoring with a volume control for the Monitoring.
Has nice quality for a very nice and affordable price!
This mic is an absolute beast, used by people on here and popular YouTubers such as Markiplier, this mic however is quite expensive and interfaces for the XLR output will run you down some more, but the quality is amazing out this mic, this is the only Dynamic mic in this group, but it's a very decent mic. As Dynamics aren't as sensitive as Condensers, this is doesn't really pick up background noise from outside such as people around your house!

This mic sounds excellent and is perfect for use in filming and alike. It can be powered using batteries or Phantom Power from your camera. If you shop around, it can be found for a decent price.

This mic is absolutely amazing for the price, it is a Dynamic mic that comes in both XLR and USB, so it can plugged into your PC or interface without any trouble. It sounds great and being a Dynamic, picks up very little, it also comes with a desk stand and respective USB and XLR Cables!

This mic is a very nice mic costing around €70 new on Thomann it's quite affordable, it's a USB Condenser (most mic companies put a U after the name to define it as USB), can be set into different Patterns and has a nice stand to acompany it. It has been used by PewDiePie and is used by others such as FaZeOutcst.
Both the SM48 and 58 are both virtually indestructible. offering amazing sound quality and build quality, these mics are also pretty much Industry Standard. They cost around €100 new but they are XLR so they will require a XLR interface. Wanna know how indestructible they are? I threw an old 48 at a wall full force and it worked fine. They've been in production since around 1960 afaik.
This mic set is great for people doing music or vocals. one mic on instrument and other on vocals. They're a set so you do get both, they offer great quality for a good price of around $80. Both mics are XLR and iirc both require 48v Phantom Power, so make sure your interface has that (most do, you should see a switch on your mixer).
This mic is surprisingly very popular, it's a great little piece of kit, it's great for people who travel allot and/or use Tablets or laptops to record and don't have allot of space, it has port for Headphone Monitoring
and mute/heaphone volume controls.
I use Samson Go Mic... As I Travel alot back and forth.. This Tiny Mic is light and easy to carry around.
Plus! It is not expensive and the quality is good that tiny mic lol
Hey guys my videos' audio is quite terrible. There's always annoying background noise. Well, I'm using the mic from my camera. Can you guys help? Will using those mics improve my audio?

If you got an input for a mic on that camera it would be a great improvement. I record with two cameras which don't have an input of any kind and record the audio with my mic to my computer. I then just sync it all up in premiere. If you could sync it up the best bet would just record to the computer because you can have more settings and such that way. You could also go the mixing board route buuut I can't help with that. lol
I don't know if this is the right thread to post in. I have a sound related problem & I'm not sure if it is a microphone prob.
I got a new mic: Blue Snowball Ice. It seems like an ok mic for an affordable budget. A lot of people here recommend it.
I recorded another episode with it [ep5-death death]. When I play back the video, the sound seems ok. When I edit it in FCP X, the sound is fine. After render and playback it is ok as well.
The problem is when I export it, I get clicks & pops.
I tried 2 export settings for sound:
set 1:
AAC
22 kHz
2 channels
16 bps
40 kbps
set 2: AAC, stereo 48 kHz
The result is the same. A good part of the recording is fine but about 30 % is with annoying clicks. I think I get the noises when the sound level gets a bit higher.
Do you know what can be the problem? Am I doing something wrong?
