#Audacity not recording sound pro#

I’m using a standard Blue Yeti mic (no pro or X or other version) for 6 years now and never had issues like that before with audacity. I am an Youtube ASMRtist and mandatory need the stereo mode for the audio experience in my videos. I also have a dialogue going with Dell to see if it’s something on the computer end as well.I need your help with properly recording with my Blue Yeti microphone on audacity. Thanks so much again for all the digging. At least I haven’t installed any of those. Zoom likes to take over sound channels and not tell you.Īgain, to my knowledge, it doesn’t. My mic looks just like the one pictured and yes, it’s in the stereo position.ĭoes the laptop have Zoom, Skype, Chat, etc? That’s important. “Classic, Legacy” Yeti, Yeti Pro, Yeti X, and Yeti Nano.ĭoes yours have a volume control and pattern control on the rear? This one is shown in the Stereo position. I’ll plug it all up and run the device info again, just to see.Īnd just to cover it. There just seems to be some breakdown from mic to computer. Like I said before, when I have the headphones plugged in, you can tell the mic is functioning correctly in the left and right because of the onboard monitoring the mic provides. When I took the pictures and ran the device info, I just didn’t have them plugged in. I may post a sound clip of what it sounds like.Īlso, my playback device is usually selected as “Speakers (Yeti Stereo Mic)”. But the problem is, the recording itself. Audacity does recognize it as a two channel mic. For the purposes of trying to figure out what’s going on, I have been sticking to one.

I do have two Yeti mics, and have tested both mics on both computers. I’ll try the shutdown procedure you talked about and see what that assume that you are testing one Yeti mic on two computers, not two Yeti mics? To my knowledge, Zoom isn’t even installed on here. This computer is basically brand new, out of the box. It’s valuable if the symptoms change even if the problem doesn’t go away. Launch Audacity and see if the Yeti starts working. Start the machine and do not let anything else start. Wait for it to completely finish, and Start. Save your work, close all the apps and programs and Shift+Shutdown. What else do you have running? Games, Chat, Skype, Zoom? I’ll bet serious chocolate Zoom will not allow the system to process voice in stereo. Gonna try and answer all these questions. If you are unable to set the devices as above, describe what happens. If the Audio Device Info is as above, make a test recording.

Selected playback device: 5 - Speakers (Yeti Stereo Microphon Selected recording device: 1 - Microphone (Yeti Stereo Microph Near the bottom of the info it should say:

Playback device: Speakers (Yeti Stereo Microphone).

Channels: 2 (Stereo) recording channels.

Recording device: Microphone (Yeti Stereo Microphone).Ensure that Audacity Device Toolbar is set to:.One thing that is weird on your laptop setup is that your recording device is set to The Audio Device Info in both cases, shows that Audacity sees the microphone as a 2 channel device, and the mic is selected as the recording device. I assume that you have ruled out the possibility of there being a problem with the “multiple pattern selection switch”? Any assume that you are testing one Yeti mic on two computers, not two Yeti mics? I am usually one that can figure things out with enough time, but this one seems to be getting the best of me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the mic and audacity. I have tried two different USB cables just in case. I also have my own blue yeti, and it is doing the same. I have searched for hours online and can’t find out what’s up. I have tried setting audacity to record in stereo and mono, but both end up sounding the same. But, again, in my headphones plugged into my mic, I can hear both sides very clearaly. When monitoring my mic in audacity, you can see that it is picking up the left side much better than the right. I can hear everything perfectly in my headphones, so I know the mic is working properly. However, I can’t get audacity to record the right side of my mic. I have Blue Yeti mic, and I am trying to use it’s stereo setting in Audacity so my wife can record higher quality ASMR videos. I know this subject has been mentioned numerous times, but I can not find a straight answer to save my life.
