Reddit mentions of AUPHONIX PRO Blue Yeti Shock Mount – Latest Advanced Vibration Blocking, Noise Repelling Shockmount System for Blue Yeti Original Snowball & USB Pro – Ultra-Portable Lightweight Microphone Shock Mount

Gonna keep copy-pasting this 'cuz everybody knows "that guy" in party chat who lives in a wind tunnel with kids hooked up to scream-torture devices 24/7, while simultaneously executing full body karate movements into his keyboard and mouse while eating industrial grade cheetos from the fucking twilight zone and laughing at 120 decibel "you laugh you lose" compilations on Youtube inbetween bites. On an open mic. Without headphones.

I posted this elsewhere for the Yeti, but most of these tips should work for the Nano as well:

• It's a quality mic with a lot of versatility, but you gotta use it right.
  
• Cardioid mode is best for solo use. Turn the knob to the cute little butt icon on the back of the mic.
  
• It's a condenser microphone, which means it will pick up everything in the room on normal gain, even in cardioid mode (keyboard, mouse clicks, people talking in the other room, your neighbors having sex, etc.).
  
• You can kind-of turn it into a dynamic mic to minimize the above problems: Turn the gain knob all the way down (counter-clockwise) and stick that sucker straight in your face as you would a dynamic mic. Bonus points for using a mixer (like the free Voicemeter Banana) to set a gate if you're not using PTT.
  
• It will probably pick up desk vibration on the included stand. Cheap solution: put it on some kind of noise dampening material like a thick foam mouse pad. Or... buy a mic arm & shock mount if you're feeling fancy.
  
• Buy a foam windscreen (better than a unidirectional pop filter, since it's a condenser mic) to minimize audio clipping. I bought this one for $10 and it works great. Or use a sock if you have no shame.
  
• Be prepared to give some serious aural boners to everyone lucky enough to be graced by your sexy, sexy voice.

The idea for it is to absorb the shock from the pressing of the keyboard and the mouse if you have the arm on the same table as your mic.

I use that exact mount with my blue yeti, yes you still absolutely want this as well :)

That would be lovely if you could. I do have boom arm and have it set up with this shock mount. Ordered this yesterday to hopefully be as useful and a pop filter.

It's made by Auphonix and on Amazon for pretty decent price:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FQB3DD8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And they are also very expensive shock mounts, but what can you do if there is no alternative..

And it seems that mount can't hold both shock mount and blue yeti, which I intended to use.



> I bought one of these to use with the Blue Yeti plus the shock mount. This stand is nowhere close to being strong enough to support the weight of the microphone and shock mount. You might be able to modify the stand to work, but as bought, it's useless for this purpose unfortunately.

EDIT: found this one, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01FQB3DD8/
"little" cheaper than official and got good reviews

What I mean't was actually one yeti per player table, then another seperate mic for the DM.

If you're able to I would get the mics onto shockmounts as there is quite a bit of noise coming from people touching the tables. I recently bought this one to fit onto my yeti and it's really good:

https://www.amazon.com/Auphonix-Shock-Mount-Blue-Microphone/dp/B01FQB3DD8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479195070&sr=8-2&keywords=Auphonix+Shock+Mount

I would also be using noise gates for the mics; this will help to reduce the spill from the rest of the room. As you're recording in an acoustcially untreated room, and currently using one mic to cover a large area, it's going to be quite difficult to reduce the reflections being picked up by the mic.

There's a pop-filter on Amazon for like $6. It works, and you really don't need to spend more than that. Idk what specifically a "spider" shock mount is, but this one is the cheapest one with good reviews I saw.

This is great! The only very very minor thing I would suggest is that the beads being on the same table as the microphone, the vibrations traveled up the mic stand and are making that "I'm rubbing on the microphone" noise which is kind of distracting.

If you can isolate the microphone from the table (with a shock mount or something similar) it will make the sound quality much better!

Here's a really affordable example https://smile.amazon.com/Silver-Snowball-Eliminates-External-Vibration/dp/B01FQB3DD8

Hmm. It just boggles my mind that I see my friend with a similar room and people on YT just stand it up and speak into it and it sounds so much better (also on USB, and unfortunately standard Yeti doesn't have XLR input)

And Mudder

Or apparently just rebuy these and don't be depressed about a mic for a year and a half

I bought this for my yeti, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GLJDMPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vKlizbWAD0D3M

It is cheap but it's strong enough to hold it up the only down side to this is it is shorter than the rode but depending on where you plan on putting it it might be okay, and I bought this mount to go with it since the yeti official shock mount is wayyyy to expensive
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FQB3DD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.MlizbTQFA7KP

Only Downside is you need to switch out the O rings for the rubber ones off the yeti desk mount stand to secure it, it does work fine as it comes but you really need to tighten it up or it'll suffer from droopyness.

Arm and the shock mount . I would have gone without the shock mount, but the threading for the mic was changed like 1/16” bigger so the mount itself didn’t work. The shock mount fixed that though.
