Could anyone recommend this for voiceover work? I create training videos & need something much more portable than Blue Yeti I now have.

I have both the Blue Yeti and the GoMic. The Yeti is 200x better but the GoMic is ultra portable. I would suggest you take the heavy metal base off your Yeti and travel with that if you can. Just use a cup to hold it up =) The GoMic is my backup. I use it for my podcast (Travel Like a Boss)

Yes, this will work fine for voiceover. A very good mic for such its size, able to record with clarity, and have a build in noise cancellation (it work pretty well, though not in the extreme setting with lots of surround noises).

The blue yeti is a USB mic & this is an xlr mic with an interface/preamp ... In all honesty better quality comes from this and the headsets are nice too.

I'm looking for the same thing...the mic that comes with the kw-av60bt is total crap. From the reviews, I'm thinking this might not be much better.

If you have an audio interface, you'd be better off getting a ribbon mic if the violin is where your issues lie. The yeti is a condenser, most of which sound unflattering on strings. Condensers tend to hype the "scratchy" frequencies of violin, and remove the "lush" frequencies. Ribbons tend to tame the scratchiness, and preserve the lushness for a very sweet sound. You can find a much better violin mic than this for well under $1000. Look up cascade microphones, they make great ribbons on the cheap. Only then you need an interface if you don't have one. It's probably time to get one anyway, if you're searching for higher quality recordings. Side note - be aware that ribbons are generally low output so you will likely experience some noise with quiet sources, unless you have nice mic pres.

It has a microphone with mediocre quality. Some software will pick up the audio stream, some won't. I haven't been able to get Blue Iris t to record the audio.

I have been using it to do voice overs for scribe videos and it has worked very well using my iMac. I have been very happy with the quality of the audio. Therefore, yeah, I think it's great for voice overs.

I am not sure about that mic but I use it for the Blue Yeti as well as my MXL 990. It is a very strong mic stand with a heavy base and strong tighteners. The yeti is huge so I think the snowball would work but can't say for sure! I love the stand though. Great for heavy duty mics for podcasting, online radio, and announcing.

The Yeti is pretty light, and this thing is built like a tank. It uses a standard microphone mount, so it'll handle just about anything.

To be honest,what's a blue yeti? I purchase a pair of mics and these stage foam ball,so far its pretty good.So in other words perhaps it may work for your blue yeti.

I have been in the voice over/broadcast business for more than 50 years and long ago I weaned my self off of headphones (except for live radio and other few exceptions). If you use headphones just to impress your self with your own voice then the Blue Icicle may not help you. For the rest of us (with egos parked at the door) it works just fine.

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

In my experience that would not be the best usage for this microphone. While what you're trying to achieve is technically possible, you'll have much better success with a bidirectional mic for two speakers or an omnidirectional mic for more. The Procaster is an end-address cardioid mic which means it is designed to be spoken into from one direction. Rode makes some at least one omni, and the Blue Yeti series has some pattern switchable mics.

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

It doesn't hurt, or make your own (cheap and easy--Youtube etc.) but it's not necessary because of the Blue Yeti's versatility. Set it to cardioid and it actually picks up (mostly) only the noise in front of it.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

No. You will also need to buy the shock mount that blue makes for the yeti as the yeti is much larger than a normal microphone.

Yes it works great for voiceovers keep it close to you and I would recommend a pop filter which you can get from Amazon as well.
