Yeti's are on the extreme side of sensitive. They can work great, but need to be understood and \"tamed\". Throw up some blankets around you when you record, I'll leave it up to your creativity as to what that looks like for you. Something like that can go a long way to stop the room noise. Also, get the mic as close as you can to your mouth and turn the record level down.\r\n\r\nAlternatively, there are some budget friendly USB dynamic mics like [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT2005USB-Handheld-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=dynamic+usb+mic\u0026amp;qid=1643137419\u0026amp;sr=8-5\u0026amp;x=0\u0026amp;y=0). Dynamics are much better suited for being \"up close and personal\" with the sound source and are much better at not picking up room noise.\r\n\r\nWhatever you do, don't jump straight to compression, suppression, or noise gates. Get your raw signal as good as possible and THEN use those if you absolutely need to.\r\n\r\nPlease feel free to message me with any other questions you might have. Audio is a large part of my day job and I'm happy to share my knowledge.","subreddit_name":"letsplay","author":"kyleblane"},{"body":"If you got some cash to spare, I highly recommend a mic that's dynamic. Something like a [Audio-Technica AT2005USB](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JX8O0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_VVDH4PS13VT9KW5S2M6H?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)\r\n\r\nYou can have it close to you on a stand, it has an easy to reach mute switch, and it shouldn't be able to pick up ambient sounds too easily. You can even mess with settings on Voice Mod so it only picks up sounds very close to it.","subreddit_name":"DnD","author":"GenericZombies"},{"body":"I've got loud background noise + a very clicky keyboard, so I'm using an AT2005usb. I've had 0 issues with it, and have gotten a ton of compliments on stream and just play games with it. It's a USB mic, but you can upgrade it to XLR as well since it comes with the ports for it. \r\n\r\nI adjusted a few things just to make my voice slightly deeper + RTX voice to remove the sounds and pc noises(pc on desk right beside it). However, it sounds very good out of the box.\r\n\r\nIt says it's on sale rn, but I believe $80 was what I bought it for. \r\n\r\n[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT2005USB-Handheld-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y)","subreddit_name":"Twitch","author":"KaptainMitch"},{"body":"Thank you for the feedback! It's always nice to hear we are doing something people are enjoying.\r\n\r\nFor mics 1 uses a pretty cheap condenser mic, the host and myself use the [AT2005USB](https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT2005USB-Handheld-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y). It's a pretty affordable dynamic mic that you can use as XLR or USB. Sounds good both ways. The 3 of us record remotely so we tried a few different programs/websites. We use Skype for the video portion (w/mics muted and volume turned down), and  run the audio through Zencastre (I have heard lots of people having issues with it on this and other podcasting subs, but it's been pretty reliable and by far the best sounding recordings over the web). We find seeing each other helps the flow of conversation quite a bit. \r\n\r\nZencastre gives us 3 separate vocal tracks and a track for our soundboard. I do all of the editing in audacity. Id be glad to give some post production tips if you think they would help.","subreddit_name":"podcasting","author":"Adozgs2l"},{"body":"Audio Technica AT2005.\r\n\r\nIts stupid easy to use and is a great buy at its price point.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT2005USB-Handheld-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y\r\n\r\nYetti makes a good mic too and is a bit more versatile, but the AT2005 is far easier to get sounding great.\r\n\r\nMost of the people on my podcast use the Audio Technica.","subreddit_name":"podcast","author":"Laymans_guide_pcast"},{"body":"Hey man, just following up on this. I just got a new mic, the Audio Technica 2005USB. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JX8O0Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\nSo far it doesn't pick up any of my keyboard sounds and is slightly better quality than my old mic. The build quality is excellent and it's less intrusive being in front of me. ","subreddit_name":"battlestations","author":"npeacock"},{"body":"This is what I use. It is a little bit over your range but not a ton. I use it with the usb plug directly into my pc. If one day I upgrade to a mixer it also has an xlr output. You would need a separate stand and you do want it fairly close to your mouth to get the best audio but for the $. Keep an eye out, I bought mine on sale for $62. A lot of people recommend the blue yeti but it picked up way to much background noise for me.

I got rid on mine and went to an AT20-05. I spent about 2 weeks researching mica and looking at all of the options. The AT20-05 you can run off of a USB connection or XLR. \r\n\r\nRight now I am just using the USB directly into my PC and I have had multiple comments on how my voice sounds better and there is less background noise. Eventuality I plan on swapping to the XLR and buying all of the components to go a more professional route, but for now this works great.\r\n\r\nJust another option to consider. \r\n\r\nPlus it is only $79 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JX8O0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_w5vozbS4GAZ8W","subreddit_name":"Twitch","author":"MrMcStabby"},{"body":"I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2005USB-Cardioid-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y\r\n\r\nDynamic is amazing. Other than my last episode where I used it between two people and we both sort of drifted from it physically while talking, it has always sounded great with my voice solo.

I got it for around $58, but it is back up to 80. Keep an eye on it though, if it's available in your country and the price goes down, I highly recommend. I switched from a snowball. I didn't like it much. Also, the channel Podcastage on YouTube has reviews for a lot of mics, cheap ones included. Maybe watch some of his reviews and see if something tickles your fancy. \r\n\r\nEDIT: I've seen the at2005usb go below 50. It's a matter of patients.
