No TV and no beer makes Negative Cutters a dull show
No shows this week as Hurricane Irene set our work and recording schedule back a bit. We’ll be back on track soon though. Not to worry!

Scheduling delays means no episode today.
Hey guys!
Sorry to say that we had some scheduling issues last week and weren’t able to get an episode recorded for today. Don’t worry though, we’ll be back on Thursday.

Tonight I brought home a new toy for the podcast. A Blue Yeti: “The Ultimate Professional USB Microphone.” It certainly lives up to it’s name as this is one monster of a microphone. Standing up straight in its stand it measures about 12″. The overall construction is very high quality until you get to the knobs…. which look like they were found in a cereal box. Setting that aside, what really matters is how does it sound?
Sound Test
The Yeti has 3 capsules inside it and 4 usable modes. Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, Stereo, and the single Cardoid. The latter is the mode of choice for podcasting. Now I have used the Blue Snowball in the past and I simply could not get rid of ridiculous room noise and echo and since I do not have a real studio this was a no go for podcasting. Up until now I have been using the USB mic that comes with my Rock Band set to surprisingly good results. Lets see how the Blue Yeti stacks up.
For this sound test I set the Yet to Cardoid mode and put the Gain control at the bottom of the spectrum. I wanted to get up close and personal with this monster. After jury rigging my pop filter onto the stand I recorded the test sample.
Post processing I quickly put it through the same thing i do for all other recordings previously, a combo of EQ, HiPass, LowPass, and out to Levelator to tweak the overall loudness. I am rather pleased with the result. A nice rich sound though I’ll never get rid of the slight reverb from my computer screen thats behind the mic… I’m not regretting my purchase.
What do you think?

Correction for the latest episode of Negative Cutters
In this week’s episode of Negative Cutters we had a trailer suggestion by Adam R of the AdamNPooz podcast. We mistook the webaddress and I am here to correct it. If you want to check out a great podcast go to http://www.adamnpooz.com/ I would say I’m horribly embarrassed but as it turns out they mentioned us in their podcast recently… and they couldn’t remember our name either… Karma? I think so. Anyway, check them out if you love comics, movies, and general craziness!
