Its actually smaller than I thought it to be. I imagined it to be a huge complicated looking thing. Well, it is a bit bulky, and it does have a bit of a heft to it, but its small enough to fit here on my desk without getting in the way. At some point in the near future, I'm going to see about joinning the team of djs at Mushroomfm.com, and this is the mike to which I'll be using on air. So while I have the time, I'd like to make some test recordings with this Mike and play them back, so that I can get a feel as to how my voice will sound coming through both headphones as well as my computer speakers. This way, I can hear what my voice will sound like over the air to the listeners, or at least get an idea. I did a test recording with Skype's call testing service using the Yeti, and it sounds quite clear from what I can tell through headphones. I also tried to record my voice using WavePad, but I've found that its not as accessible as I thought. Have any of you ever tried using WavePad? I can load an existing file and play it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make recordings. The buttons appear to be inaccessible. For any of you, who have used WavePad before, are there any hotkeys I can use to start and stop a recording? if not, do you know of a sound editor program, that's accessible with a screen reader? I'm using Windows xp home, with Window-eyes. Thanks for any help you can provide me. Mike Rochester, NY.
