I disagree, unless it’s the modmic, there are enough people who either don’t have the space nor want to spend the money to properly place the mic (ie as near their face as possible). I’d rather they use some mediocre headset mic then place something that’d be otherwise decent like a Samson Go on a tiny tripod on the table next to their gaming keyboard, 20-30 cm away from their mouth.
My snowball would like a word. If you could hear it. Over it picking up everything else in the room.
If I had a dollar for every time people recommended Blue mics while any dynamic mic would’ve been a better option, I’d be a rich man.
The problem with blue products, isn’t the quality but rather it’s the price, you can get so much more for the same amount of money as a snowball or yeti.
As for it being too sensitive, try turning it down andoving closer to it, or just using a noise gate, or even noise reduction (like rnnoise based or RTX voice). There are plenty of options for tuning a microphone for better quality. And you don’t have to go for the manufacturers software.
Personally I have a Audio interface with an XLR AT2020, and my noise gate and compressor plugin chain running on Carla works fine for what I have on my Linux setup, but you don’t even have to go that far. All you need is something like voicemod, voicemeeter, EasyEffects or noisetorch or other standalone setups.
I’m just using pulse effects for gates and compressors.
I was more talking about it’s not a directional mic and sound from behind it is no different to the mic as sound in front of it really. So it just picks everything up.
Ahh, a noise reduction setup like rnnoise (noisetorch) might actually help you with that - you can use it to replace the noisegate, as it has voice activation detection which works like a noisegate
It’s not a big deal really. I do like the mic because I paid next to nothing for it. (Yay, cheap marketplace shit.) Besides, I rarely use it.
That and I’ve had to switch over to flatpak pulse effects which refuses to see the mic and allow me to add effects. (The flatpak version of pulse effects didn’t even fix the problem I had anyways.)
